Job description 


As Project Manager, you know a good Jira ticket when you see it. You understand our client’s business, and you know how products impact our clients’ organizations. You block and tackle developers, remove dependencies before they become problems, and can plug a rabbit hole before it swallows the whole sprint. 

You have a strong gut sense for which direction to head, and you’re always asking questions. You can identify risks, conceptualize multiple scenarios, and chart a path to success. You are goal-oriented, and you believe in continuous improvement.


The Project Manager primary goal is to help our clients succeed, learn, and innovate. You excel at communicating with stakeholders of all levels, inspire trust, and have a shared sense of purpose within the project team. While you can see the big picture, you are also detail-oriented and able to break down large tasks into manageable steps that are documented, monitored, and controlled. 


Metal Toad is a fully remote company, so our work model is online. The candidate must be able to work between 8-9 am and 5-6 pm Pacific Time (PST) from Monday through Friday.
