Project Manager

TO APPLY: Project Manager Application

OUR MISSION: Make cities more responsive, so they are safer, healthier, and more equitable for the people who live in them.

Numina makes a hardware and software platform that uses computer vision to help urban planners and municipal governments design better (safer) streets and public places. We sense bicycle, pedestrian, and other street traffic, and convert this data into real-time intelligence — without surveillance — to enable all sorts of partners in automation, autonomy, and development in the public right-of-way. We are looking for passionate people who would like to join us as we pursue our shared vision of more responsive cities.

As the Project Manager, you will ensure the success of Numina projects around the world: from planning and installation, through customer feedback and problem solving, to expansion and public-facing outcomes. You will wear many hats spanning product operations, logistics, and account management. You will empower your teammates to deliver great Numina product experiences, ensure good governance/reporting practices to stakeholders, and inform how we develop new features to better serve our market. The Project Manager will report to the CEO and work closely with the Growth and Engineering Teams, while managing communications with customers and project stakeholders.

WHAT YOU WILL DO HERE:

• Create and maintain systems which document project statuses and communicate responsibilities across our team, to ensure seamless execution and wonderful customer experiences.
• Make sure all current and future customers have completed onboarding.
• Help generate project proposals and occasional permit applications.
• Coordinate logistics and meetings for project installations, customer onboarding, and ongoing engagement and customer success activities.
• Work directly with customers to understand questions about their data and requests for product features, and translate this information to our product team.

• Help identify high-value improvements and new features for our products.
• Collaboratively construct team roadmaps and hold team members accountable to deliverables.
• Contribute to written content (memos, case studies, blog posts, press releases, etc.).

WHO YOU ARE:

You are a listener who seeks to understand complex problems and solve them. You care about cities, transportation access, bicycling, and/or vibrant neighborhoods.
