We believe that in order for companies, teams, and products to succeed, technology must be utilized effectively and securely. We pride ourselves in helping our clients win in their respective industries.

As a remote-first company with team members spread out all across the country, NextLink Labs continuously works to ensure our work environment is comfortable and collaborative. We also aim to maintain an inclusive work environment where everyone can thrive professionally and live full lives outside of work.

NextLink Labs is hiring a Project Manager to join our growing consulting practice. The ideal candidate brings a strong project management background in software and technology consulting, combined with the empathy, customer-obsession, and organizational rigor that come from years of operating in a professional services environment. You'll own client engagements end-to-end, from kickoff through closeout, keeping them on time, on scope, and on budget while delivering exceptional client experiences and contributing to the growth of NextLink's client relationships.

As a Project Manager, you'll be the operational owner of NextLink client engagements. You'll lead engagement kickoffs, build the project plan, run the delivery cadence with our engineering teams, manage scope against the SOW, track budget and forecast against burn, coordinate invoicing inputs, and bring every engagement to a clean close. You'll be the client's day-to-day point of contact for delivery, building trust, managing expectations, facilitating tough conversations when needed, and surfacing opportunities to grow the relationship. You'll also contribute to NextLink's broader PM practice through process improvement, templates, and mentorship of teammates.
