Project Manager (Intern)

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract.

As a Project Manager (Intern), you support that delivery model from the inside. You'll work alongside the Project Manager to keep engagements on their committed date and budget tracking deliverables, catching risks before they become delays, and keeping every stakeholder, internal and client-side, aligned on what ships next. This isn't a shadow-and-observe internship: you own pieces of delivery yourself, under supervision, from project award to sign-off.

What you'll do?
Support the administrative, technical, and financial tracking of assigned projects, from award to completion. Help ensure delivery stays inside the SOW's contractual commitments, under the Project Manager's guidance. Track progress against the committed date and budget, and flag risks early enough to act on them. Take an active hand in shaping project deliverables, bring judgment, not just checklists. Own the quality and timeliness of the deliverables and documentation assigned to you. Communicate directly with subject-matter experts, clients, and other stakeholders on your assigned projects, as directed by the Project Manager.

What we're looking for?
1–2 years of prior experience working as a Project Manager Intern, ideally on client-facing or delivery-driven projects. Pursuing an MBA with a focus in Project Management. Comfortable in a fast-paced, self-directed environment with real deadlines. Can manage your own workload, multi-task, and prioritize without being told twice. Detail-oriented and proactive, you spot the gap before someone else has to point it out. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to lead and motivate. High organizational rigor and attention to detail. Works well under pressure and holds the deadline. Comfortable operating autonomously. Confident, professional client-facing communication. Sharp time-management and analytical skills.
