[Hiring] Senior Project Manager @Panopto

Role Description

Panopto is looking for a Senior Project Manager to own the execution behind our product initiatives — from the moment we commit to something through the day customers can use it.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to do the most impactful work of your career, elevating your craft while contributing to a team that values lifelong learning.

As the Senior Project Manager, you'll report to the Program Manager and sit inside the Product team on the R&D side, which means the job runs in both directions:

• Upstream: Working with Product Managers, Engineering, and Design to keep committed work moving, dependencies visible, and slippage caught early.
• Downstream: Ensuring Marketing has positioning, Support knows what's changing, Sales can sell it, and customers hear about it the day it goes live.

This role is for someone energized rather than frustrated by ambiguity — you'll frequently be the person who turns "we're doing this next quarter" into a sequenced plan with owners and dates, and then holds everyone to it.

You’ll also have opportunities to contribute to other initiatives that directly advance our core values and support you in elevating your craft.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of project or program management experience, with at least 4+ years specifically embedded within a B2B SaaS Product or R&D organization.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.
• Demonstrated experience running delivery with software engineering teams and coordinating the go-to-market side of a product launch.
• Proven experience driving delivery for complex SaaS architectures (e.g., API integrations, multi-tenant cloud platforms, feature flags, continuous deployment release models).
• Working understanding of the SaaS product lifecycle and agile delivery practices.
• Enough technical fluency to hold a credible conversation with engineers about dependencies, trade-offs, and blockers.
• Proficiency with Jira and Confluence for planning, tracking, and documentation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience working with distributed teams across multiple time zones.
• Demonstrated track record of designing, implementing, or improving cross-functional delivery and GTM release frameworks.

Requirements

• Experience coordinating GTM launch activities with Product Marketing, Sales Enablement, or Customer Success.
• Experience presenting, reporting delivery health, and managing trade-offs directly with VP and C-level stakeholders.
• Experience sitting inside a Product or R&D organization rather than a central PMO.
• Active PMP, PMI-ACP, or CSM certification.
• Hands-on experience leveraging modern PM stacks (Jira, Confluence) and AI productivity tools.
• Prior experience in a Product Operations (ProdOps) function.
• Familiarity with API-based products, feature flagging, or cloud service constraints.
• Experience in EdTech or with higher education or enterprise customers.
• Practical use of AI tooling to accelerate planning, synthesis, and reporting work.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay.
• Health insurance.
• Flexible spending accounts.
• Retirement savings plans.
• Life and disability insurance programs.
• Programs that provide for both paid and unpaid time away from work.
