Remote Project Manager Jobs in Struthers, OH (NOW HIRING)

As a Senior Technical Project Manager at Echo360, you will lead the planning, coordination, and successful execution of complex customer-facing initiatives across the Echosystem. You will serve as the primary project leader for projects involving new customer onboarding, product adoption, technical implementations, platform migrations, upgrades, training engagements, customer offboarding, and other strategic customer initiatives.
This role requires project leadership rather than hands-on implementation or customer training. You will develop and manage comprehensive project plans, establish milestones and dependencies, coordinate cross-functional teams, proactively manage risks, and ensure all project deliverables are completed on time and aligned with customer expectations.
This is a highly customer-facing role requiring regular meetings with enterprise customers and executive stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. As the central point of coordination, you will present project plans, timelines, milestones, and progress updates to customers while maintaining accountability across internal teams. You will provide executive visibility through concise weekly reporting on project health, accomplishments, upcoming milestones, risks, dependencies, and mitigation plans. Your ability to build trust, drive accountability, and keep both customers and internal teams aligned will be critical to delivering successful customer outcomes.
In this role, success is measured by your ability to keep complex customer implementations on track, align cross-functional teams around shared milestones, communicate effectively with customer stakeholders and executives, and deliver predictable, high-quality outcomes. If you thrive in fast-paced SaaS environments and enjoy bringing structure, accountability, and clarity to complex projects, we'd love to hear from you.
