Manager of Project Success
Seeking a Global Software Program Manager to be the ''Watson'' to our Sherlock Holmes.
We're seeking a Program Manager who brings to bear their extraordinary organizational skills and attention to detail to transform our project/program management function into a strategic advantage.
If you've had some exposure to the entertainment industry or digital asset management, and have worked with software solutions, ideally in a cloud environment, you're an ideal candidate. We're seeking a Program Manager that has built, enhanced, improved, evolved, and led their company's project/program management function. We need to fill this role with someone seeking to make a HUGE impact.
Our Program Manager will lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects, ushering projects through the entire lifecycle - managing schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating goals to project stakeholders globally. Projects often span offices, time zones and hemispheres, and it's up to the Program Manager to keep all the players coordinated on the project's progress and deadlines.
Visualize out 12 months from now. You're standing up at our company's annual award banquet and receiving the ''Employee of the Year'' award. You were our HERO this past year. In a short period of time, you've dramatically improved our on-time software delivery, you've put a system in place to ensure 100% accuracy of company-wide information on project status and scheduling, you've effectively integrated our project/program management process with a diverse set of offshore teams and vendors, and you've created a project/program management performance measurement system that is the envy of the software program management field.
You've enabled our project/program management function to be the benchmark by which other companies in both software and cloud environments come to benchmark their project management success.
You're excited to be joining a company that is revolutionizing media production workflow and asset management for the vast majority of entertainment companies, including Fox, Warner Bros, CBS and Lionsgate. Your ''touch'' and ''vision'' will influence a product that will have a profound impact on the production of movies, TV, and other digital entertainment and impact the lives of over 200 million people worldwide.

• Provide superior and audience-appropriate communication and status updates to team as well as executive management and stakeholders
• Lead the estimation and planning phases of all software development projects
• Perform scrum master duties on a daily basis while ensuring significant and acceptable progress by team member
• Continuously improve, implement, and manage the software release process with the development and technical operations team
• Manage and continuously improve the project management toolsets, software defect tracking tool (JIRA), testing reporting tool (Bonfire), sprint planning tool (Grasshopper), and all status reporting document libraries
• Assist in the creation of business requirements and acceptance criteria as needed
• Work closely with development and QA/testing teams to track bug and scalability fixes
• Assist in the creation of user stories, test cases, and testing as needed

• Additional duties as required

We believe your accomplishments are much more important than your resume. We will read the half-page write-up first so please keep this in mind when submitting.
