OVERVIEW

Our business is growing, and we’re looking for a talented PM with a can-do attitude, a willingness to learn and the desire to make your own opportunities as you grow with us.

  • Experience managing projects in both English and Turkish, and being able to switch between two languages when speaking to client and internal partners.
  • Able to scale to handle multiple projects simultaneously while still maintaining accurate, on-time deliveries in accordance with established SLAs.
  • Address any change requests to Client title production tickets. Identify requests which are outside of the original scope and then work with the Client to seek agreement on appropriate direction and action.
  • Proactively identify areas of potential risk and address or escalate the issues as necessary.
