Product Project Manager Jobs in Alabama (NOW HIRING)

Do you thrive under pressure? Are you a master at multi-tasking and keeping a bunch of balls in the air? Do you have strong attention to detail and like to analyze information to figure out the best path forward? Are you impatient and need to get things checked off your to-do list to feel like you accomplished something for the day? Can you work well with others but are also good at keeping yourself occupied and productive? Do you like working within a structured framework that defines the process for getting your work done, but also provides plenty of leeway for you to define how it gets accomplished? Are you looking for the next big challenge in your career?
If you live in or around Birmingham, we have the opportunity for you!

As a Project Manager, you will be assigned projects after they have gone through the design process and have been sold, and then work hand-in-hand with our clients and our internal teams to deliver the project. Along the way, you will host project meetings, develop schedules, order special materials, hold the client’s hand, and keep everyone on track. Success is measured in equal parts timely delivery, project profitability, and client delight. Repeat business is our number 1 goal.
