We are looking for an Agile Software Project Manager who will play a pivotal role in guiding our product development teams through agile methodologies. The successful candidate will lead by example, fostering a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and timely delivery. If you are a proactive, results-driven professional with a strong background in agile product development, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of our innovative products. Additionally, by joining our team, you'll have the unique opportunity to contribute your skills and passion to the rapidly growing field of renewable energy. Here at Scoop Robotix, we are committed to sustainability, and you will play a crucial role in advancing clean energy solutions, working towards a greener future, and making a positive impact on the world. Embrace the chance to be part of a mission-driven organization that believes in not only building exceptional software but also in building a better, more sustainable world for generations to come.
You are at your very best when “in the flow” of working intensely towards achieving an audacious goal or outcome you believe in. You have a proven track record of planning, executing and delivering technical projects and solutions for B2B clients. You thrive on systematically analyzing and documenting client requirements, planning & executing agile development projects and communicating regularly with clients to update them on progress. You are adept at listening carefully to client requirements, setting reasonable expectation and building strong relationships with them as a trusted advisor. You are known among colleagues as the type of person “who doesn’t miss anything”. You love working in a collaborative manner with internal colleagues across sales, and customer success to refine ideas and achieve the most effective solutions that drive tremendous value and make raving fans of customers. You welcome transparent feedback and coaching and accept this with empathy in service of what is best for the business. You get excited by the prospect of not only sharing your ideas and suggestions with the team but taking the proactive steps to put these ideas into practical, measurable tests - where you are able to collect data, evaluate the impact and help leadership justify further investment. Finally, you are a life-long learner and believe in having open, honest and candid conversations in service of personal and professional growth.
Scoop® Robotix was founded by industry veterans with extensive backgrounds in software engineering, field operations, robotics and artificial intelligence. In their careers, they experienced firsthand the challenges faced by field operation managers and field personnel grappling with office-bound tools that were not designed for today's highly distributed and mobile workforce. With the rapid growth of deskless workers (Google: 80% of the global workforce is now deskless and mobile) they made it their mission to develop a new approach to work software. Being equally passionate about the future of our planet they decided to focus their efforts where it mattered the most: helping fast-growing renewable energy and green infrastructure companies solve their growing field work challenges and scale faster. Today, Scoop is on a rapid growth trajectory with a commitment to building a world class team who share the same vision and passions.
Our flagship platform Scoop® is a zero-coding mobile work process management & automation platform (mPMA) where clients can configure their own Work Apps and Project Management Templates to facilitate work execution, management and automation. Companies use Scoop to engage their internal and external teams to efficiently execute work and achieve faster growth. Industry leading solar, battery storage and EV infrastructure companies use our technology platforms to automate and streamline their field work, facilitate real time communication, gather valuable data and provide visual analytic dashboards. Our second platform, GLOO™ is a powerful integration as a service or iPaaS platform with over 500 connectors to a wide array of world class cloud platforms. We use GLOO connectors and integration workflows to automate interactions between Scoop and across our customers' entire ecosystem of technologies. Our most recent platform, LOOXY™ builds on the promise of extracting actionable insights from the vast body of data gathered as a result of SCOOP and GLOO deployment and process automation.
