Senior Project Manager

Senior Project Manager Negotiable Serbia Belgrade Full Remote Work experience 10 years 2 months Last work experience Critica Agency Project Manager 6 months Contacts About About У меня за плечами 8 лет опыта управления командами и процессами в медиа, диджитал, EdTech и iGaming. В последнем проекте прошла полный цикл продукта от найма команды до монетизации: 9 релизов за 10 месяцев, лайв-события на 2500+ одновременных зрителей. Было еще много всякого — например, я с нуля выстраивала работу отдела контента в маленьком стартапе и управляла командой редакторов лендингов в Нетологии. В последнем у меня в подчинении было 9 замечательных спецов, которых я сама нанимала и онбордила, и поток в 35-50 лендингов в месяц. Плюсом к этому: шарю за capacity planning, SDLC, оценку и декомпозицию задач, а еще могу затащить коммуникацию с кем угодно — от разработчиков и дизайнеров до стейкхолдеров и C-lvl.
