Technical Project Manager/Business Analyst

Pantheon - a fast growing, Web technology firm is in the market for an exceptional technical project manager/business analyst.

For us, this means someone who:

• Dislikes projects where box checking and order taking are the norm.
  • Our projects demand—and our clients expect—project managers who are curious, are problem solvers and critical thinkers, and are able to serve as a “consultant” instead of just another “contractor”.
  • If this describes you, tell us how and give us examples of how you’ve helped a client (internal or external) use technology to operationalize their mission instead of just doing what you were told.
• Understands project management principles and processes but is not blinded by them. We believe that Agile is a mindset, not a methodology. We’re interested in your ability to adapt a process or an approach to the unique needs of a client or project.
• Can serve as the Rosetta Stone between developers and clients. Pantheon’s project managers are expected to write clear and succinct user stories that provide our development team with the context and specifications they need to build a great application, while providing our clients with understandable project documentation they can approve.
