The Special Projects Team (Program Management) leads KeepTruckin’s most strategic projects. An extension of the leadership team, this team will strategize, consult, and implement; delivering big outcomes across the organization. 

As the Senior Special Projects Manager, you will lead the charge on the most important initiatives at KeepTruckin (Ex. accounting & finance projects, launching new products, entering new markets, building teams & processes from the ground up). You must quickly come up to speed on how the business operates across all functions.

  • Navigate tight timelines - identify & mitigate risks before the project is impacted. Drive accountability across teams - relentlessly drive outcomes while remaining flexible with exactly how to reach objectives
  • Earn credibility and trust from cross-functional teams - work with global teams from Finance, Accounting, Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering, Biz Ops, Sales Ops, Enablement, and more
  • Adapt quickly to a dynamic environment - must be comfortable with fast pace and changing priorities
  • Report weekly to the executive team to share progress and risks in your projects - communicate clearly and concisely with senior executives. Maintain poised leadership under high levels of visibility & accountability.
  • Maintain clear status, timelines, and owners for all of your projects - ensure all stakeholders have context and are not blocked from delivering on schedule
  • Use data to prioritize, investigate, and measure outcomes - analyze and report on KPIs and SLAs

What We're Looking For:

  • 7+ years total professional experience 
  • 4+ years experience project/program management role or similar management consulting role
  • Accounting, Operations, Product, Program, or Project Management experience in a technology company (B2B SaaS company preferred)
  • Proven experience working in a matrix environment, managing multiple stakeholders.  
  • Experience with Salesforce, SQL, & Excel
  • BA/BS degree (MBA Preferred)
  • Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of KeepTruckin's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
