Project Manager

Role Overview

Powdr is hiring a Project Manager to lead complex client and internal initiatives across software development, ERP implementation projects, and process improvement efforts. This role is for someone who can step into ambiguity, create structure, and move work forward without constant oversight.

This is an actively involved role. You will be expected to challenge unclear requirements, tighten scope, and keep both Powdr teams and clients aligned and accountable. If you prefer projects where everything is defined up front and nothing changes, this will not be a good fit.
