Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a Project Manager who thinks like a consultant, not a traditional process-driven PM
- You have 2+ years of project management experience delivering complex enterprise software to customers
- You have a consultant mindset — you listen first, adapt quickly, and focus on customer outcomes
- You're a self-starter who can take a problem and solve it without extensive guidance
- You understand that meetings should have purpose — you create clear agendas, invite the right people, and respect everyone's time
- You're customer-obsessed and naturally think about implementations from the customer's perspective
- You can coordinate across teams and know when to bring in the right expertise at the right time
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and change — when project requirements shift, you adapt rather than panic
- You can learn new products quickly and understand how implementations typically work
- You communicate proactively and keep all stakeholders informed about project health
What the job involves
- 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
- You'll be working directly with government agencies who are transforming their administrative workflows and processes
- These implementations are complex, involving multiple stakeholders and established workflows that need to be carefully transitioned to our platform
- You'll split your time roughly 50/50 between customer-facing work and internal coordination
- You'll work closely with our Product Success Leads who own the overall delivery quality and user experience standards
- You'll report to the Director of Customer Delivery and be part of a team that prioritizes customer satisfaction and partnership over rigid process adherence
Application process
- We care about how you approach customer relationships, problem-solving, and project coordination. We'll review your application and experience, then have conversations about real scenarios you'd encounter in this role
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.
