Role
Who you are
- You have 12+ years of demonstrable, hands-on, tactical-level project management experience, working for a software vendor, delivering complex enterprise software to customers, including, but not limited to the following:
- A seasoned project manager who thrives in the pace of a high-growth SaaS startup—someone who can bring structure, discipline, and clarity while keeping up with rapid execution
- A hands-on leader ready to roll up their sleeves—whether that means creating project content, testing software, writing scripts, or jumping in wherever the team needs support
- A customer-facing representative of the company who builds strong relationships, manages tough conversations, and guides clients through complex implementations with confidence
- A driver of execution who ensures projects move forward, milestones are met, and go-lives happen successfully—even when customers are demanding or requirements are evolving
- A gritty problem-solver who shows determination and hustle, tackling obstacles head-on and keeping both customers and internal teams aligned
- A meticulous documenter and communicator who keeps plans, risks, status updates, and sign-offs clear and organized, ensuring accountability at every step
- A connector across teams—able to coordinate Sales, Product, Engineering, Consulting, and Customer Success to stay in sync on goals and deliverables
- A polished communicator who can provide concise, executive-level updates to internal leadership and client stakeholders
- A customer lifecycle champion who ensures smooth handoffs to Customer Success and Support, setting clients up for long-term success
- A jack-of-all-trades with a project-first mindset—flexible enough to wear many hats, but always focused on delivering high-quality, on-time SaaS implementations
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Sr Project Manager who thinks like a consultant, not a traditional process-driven PM
- This is a hands-on role where you'll manage government agency implementations, serving as the primary point of contact and advocate for your customers throughout their journey with Authorium
- You'll be responsible for the entire implementation lifecycle — from initial kickoff through go-live and beyond
- This isn't about following rigid timelines or creating elaborate project decks
- It's about understanding what your customers need, adapting on the fly, and ensuring every implementation feels like a true partnership
- Manage multiple active customer implementations from kickoff through successful go-live
- Serve as the primary customer contact and advocate throughout the implementation process
- Create purposeful meetings with clear agendas, defined outcomes, and the right stakeholders
- Coordinate cross-functional teams including solution engineers, training, and product
- Work closely with Product Success Leads (PSLs) to ensure delivery aligns with customer expectations and statement of work
- Understand and use our product well enough to guide customers and identify when to bring in additional expertise
- Adapt your approach based on customer needs, meeting dynamics, and project realities
- Manage project timelines while prioritizing customer success over rigid process adherence
- Report project health to your Director and maintain visibility across all implementations
- Solve problems independently with minimal hand-holding, escalating when appropriate
Our take
Although there is a clear correlation between technological innovation and the effectiveness of businesses in serving their clients, government as a whole has so far failed to adopt the same technologies to serve its citizens. Authorium, formerly City Innovate is a company facilitating the faster procurement of government-essential technologies at the federal, state and local levels, to help these institutions better serve the communities they are responsible for.
Authorium's no-code platform supplies visibility across digitization projects and streamlines the acquisition process from research to contracts and grants. By reducing the time taken to find and implement new technologies, governments using the company's platform can catch up with innovative trends, and use technology to the advantage of their residents. With strong funds at its back, Authorium is moving ahead with advancing its platform and growing operations towards making technology a force for social good.
