What You'll Do

Lead client engagements from initiation through delivery and post-launch support, ensuring measurable outcomes and client satisfaction.
Build trust and confidence with customers by acting as a strategic partner and ensuring effective deployment of solutions.

Coordinate software design and implementation processes, aligning engineering, AI specialists, and client stakeholders.
Establish and maintain project standards, documentation, and repeatable processes to improve efficiency.
Identify risks, manage dependencies, and ensure timely delivery of milestones.
Provide clear communication and reporting to both clients and internal stakeholders.
Contribute to building AZX’s project management practices as we scale.

Proven track record of delivering custom-built software and data solutions (not just SaaS deployments) with measurable business impact.
Hands-on experience working with or deploying AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics solutions, with the ability to translate between technical and business stakeholders.
Strong technical literacy with the capability to engage deeply with engineers on topics like system architecture, APIs, data pipelines, and ML model deployment while maintaining strategic oversight.
Demonstrated success managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives in environments of ambiguity and rapid change.
Familiarity with cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), CI/CD pipelines, and modern software development practices.
Proficiency in project management methodologies and tools (Agile, Kanban, Jira, Asana, etc.), with the judgment to adapt process to the situation.
Excellent communication, facilitation, and problem-solving skills with the proven ability to distill complexity, surface risks, and drive clear decision-making.
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations or Critical Industries (Environmental).
High emotional intelligence and collaborative mindset.
Passion for client success and positive climate impact.
Enjoy celebrating others’ success and contributing to a supportive, fun environment.
Comfortable making decisions in the face of ambiguity and course-correcting as needed.
Must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.
Willingness to travel occasionally for client meetings and company summits.
