Technical Program Manager (040)

Who we are:

We create innovative digital products (mobile and web apps, reward & survey systems, machine learning&gaming platforms, and more). Among our clients you will find both large and small businesses.

SANDBX was established in 2017 as a small startup and has grown to be a significant player with a solid portfolio of 50+ projects! We are proud of our state-of-the-art technology stack and the in-house culture. We love what we do, say what we feel, and practice what we preach. Really into your job and not into office politics? This is the place for you!

We are looking for people who love what they do and are good at it. During the hiring process, you’ll discover that being able to fit into our company culture is equally important. We cherish our laid-back, easy-going atmosphere and stay away from office drama.

The Client:

Our client is a well-financed American startup that is aiming at no less than a revolution in car ownership industry. They challenged the way new cars are bought, removed all the time-consuming bureaucracy and created a platform that allows you to buy a new car in minutes online. This platform combines technology, data science and fleet management to increase efficiency and reduce cost. The platform is currently fully operational across 9 markets in the US and is expanding to cover the whole country.

Sandbx is in charge of developing both backend and front end of the platform, including the customer-facing portal. Our TPM is working closely with the client’s product team and supervises the work from spec creation to actual delivery.

The Role:

The role it two-fold and comprises some responsibilities of a Business Analyst (in terms of collecting requirements from stakeholders, creating specifications, user stories, running demos) and those a Project Manager: implementing development processes, approaches and task tracking tools, ensure timely deliverables, improve information flow and product feedback loop, liaise with stakeholders and balance interests.

The Candidate Profile:

A successful candidate for the role has a SW or a QA Engineer background and sufficient understanding Agile methodology. He/she is a skilled process and people manager and finds great joy at reaching targets through people and building successful teams. Change and relationship management will mean a lot for this role as well so we expect the candidate to demonstrate confidence at both.

The main stakeholders of the development team are based in the US so we expect the TPM to be able to start the day later and finish later than normal working hours.
