[job_card.job_description]5+ years of software project management experience Strong background in budget oversight, client management, and risk mitigation Hands‑on development background or technical understanding (Java, .NET, Python, or similar) Experience working with small, fast‑moving engineering teams Local to Chicago / Naperville, able to be onsite for the first 3–4 months
Software Project Manager (FTE – Chicago / Naperville Hybrid)
Location Options : Chicago – Fulton Market or Naperville
Onsite Expectations : First 3–4 months onsite , then hybrid
Employment Type : Full-Time (Direct Client)
We’re seeking a Software Project Manager who can lead multiple application development projects and work closely with a growing development team. This role requires someone who can operate comfortably in both client‑facing and technical conversations.
Why This Role Is Ideal
You’ll guide software projects from kickoff to delivery—handling timelines, budgets, risk, and client communication—while collaborating deeply with developers. A developer background (Java, .NET, Python, C#, etc.) is strongly preferred to help estimate work, understand technical constraints, and set realistic delivery plans.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end‑to‑end software / application development projects (not a Scrum Master role)
- Own budgets, track burn, compare against quotes, and keep projects on target
- Serve as the main client and stakeholder liaison
- Partner closely with developers to plan, scope, and unblock tasks
- Use ClickUp and Agile practices for tracking and delivery
- Support 30+ active client initiatives across the team’s portfolio
- Coordinate cross‑functional work as the company expands into software + infrastructure projects
