Senior Project Manager (EMEA or USA)

Job description

Company Overview: At Panopto, we are the most customer-centric learning technology company in the world. As the leader in visual and audio-based learning , we empower organizations to share knowledge effortlessly in a capture and post-capture world. We don’t just build software; we obsess over our users’ goals to deliver solutions that truly matter. Our mission is simple: to attract the brightest talent, people like you, to Elevate the Craft and do the most impactful work of your career. Panopto is looking for a Senior Project Manager to own the execution behind our product initiatives — from the moment we commit to something through the day customers can use it.

You'll take initiatives that start as a paragraph and a target quarter, break them into a plan people can act on, and keep a distributed group of teams moving in the same direction until it's out the door. This role is for someone energized rather than frustrated by ambiguity — you'll frequently be the person who turns "we're doing this next quarter" into a sequenced plan with owners and dates, and then holds everyone to it. You’ll also have opportunities to contribute to other initiatives that directly advance our core values and support you in elevating your craft. How You’ll Contribute In this role, you will have the opportunity to Own the end-to-end plan for assigned initiatives — scope, sequence, dependencies, milestones, and readiness criteria from commitment through release. Break large, ambiguous initiatives into discrete workstreams with clear owners, and keep the group aligned as things shift. Work…
