Product Manager

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. We ship modernization to production in weeks — data platforms migrated, applications refactored, AI agents running against real data. Our delivery is built on the agent platform built by our team, and executed by forward-deployed engineers who own outcomes end-to-end. Fixed-date commitments. Real production systems. Retired legacy.

We are an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with the AWS Agentic AI Specialization, seven AWS Consulting Competencies (including Migration and Modernization, Data and Analytics, Machine Learning, and AI Services), and seventeen AWS Service Validations. Our named production customers include Synaptics, Flipboard, Poshmark, Tilia, KlearTrust, and Safaricom.

Most modernization work doesn't ship. Ours does. That's the job.

Mactores is looking for a Project Manager who will own the delivery, which means scope, timelines, budget, and the team's sprint execution — not just facilitation. The ideal candidate will run the daily, sprint, and client cadences for distributed engineering teams across India and three US timezones, translate fluently between engineering and business stakeholders, and push back on scope creep with data.

We are looking for a PM who gets things done — the person who personally removes blockers, drives escalations to closure, and makes sure no risk reaches the client as a surprise. 

Note: This role is not for you.

• If your default is to forward messages between the client and engineering.
• Your role has primarily been reporting/coordination without delivery or ownership.
• You have only facilitated agile ceremonies without driving delivery outcomes.
• Sprint ownership and execution were largely driven by a Business Analyst or Product Owner in your previous roles.

What you will do

• Build the project plan in Smartsheet from the Solutions Architect's scope of work — real dependencies, a defensible critical path, and sprint boundaries overlaid on the timeline.
• Track scope, hours, and budget in real time. Flag burn-rate risk early and push back on scope creep with numbers, not gut feel.
• Maintain a live risk register. Identify risks before they become issues, surface the right ones to the client at the right time, and drive mitigation actively.
• Maintain a live RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) along with an action tracker to ensure clear ownership, accountability, and timely closure.
• Run crisp daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and sprint retrospectives that produce decisions, not discussions.
• Remove sprint blockers personally. Chase the client-side data dependency, escalate the stuck cloud permission, redirect pulled resources — do not let "waiting on" sit in a log for days.
• Handle sprint-level risks in real time: reprioritize, descope, swap stories, or escalate before commitments slip.
• Keep trackers honest. Action items have owners and dates; delays are visible and followed up on time.
• Translate technical progress into business language for the customer, and business priorities into clear, estimable requirements for engineers.
• Facilitate internal and external architecture reviews across India and three US time zones; document decisions and circulate them the same day.
• Produce weekly customer status updates that a senior business leader can absorb in 90 seconds — RAG colors backed by evidence, not sentiment.
• Own customer escalations end-to-end and drive them to resolution. Communicate status, risks, and decisions needed — proactively, not reactively.
• Onboard engineers on customer systems, scope, process, deliverables, and documentation standards.
• Create kick-off presentations, project charters, and tracking mechanisms in collaboration with the customer.
• Maintain meeting notes, recorded calls, and a clean project documentation library.
• Review and approve timesheets and leaves; keep capacity planning and team calendar management accurate.
• Negotiate scope changes with data. Produce formal change requests with impact analysis — hours, timeline, trade-offs, options — before anyone commits the team to additional work.
• Drive sprint predictability using velocity planning and burndown tracking; ensure commitments are realistic and consistently met.
• Conduct backlog refinement sessions in collaboration with Principal Consultants or Technical Leads to ensure stories are clear, prioritized, and estimable.

What are we looking for

• 3+ years of delivery experience on cloud engineering or data engineering projects.
• 3+ years as a Project Manager working with customers in US timezones.
• Hands-on fluency with Smartsheet, Jira / Confluence, and Clockify — you can stand up the tooling on day one.
• Excellent written and spoken communication, facilitation, negotiation, and coaching skills; able to hold your ground with a skeptical client engineering director and coach a junior engineer in the same afternoon.
• Strong prioritization and problem-solving instincts. You make trade-offs explicit rather than quietly absorbing them.
• A demonstrable track record of driving outcomes — not just reporting on them.
• Demonstrated experience managing at least one fixed-bid project end-to-end, including scope change negotiation with clients. 
• Strong understanding of Agile delivery metrics such as velocity, burndown, and sprint predictability, and the ability to use them to drive execution.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments where requirements evolve, and expected to bring structure proactively.

You will be preferred if you posses

• Experience managing Data Lake projects on AWS.
• Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM) certification.
• Managing Jira Projects certification.
• Smartsheet certification.

• Power System Studies – Power Flow, Short Circuit, Transient Stability

• Transmission & Distribution System Planning

• Experience with tools like PSS/E, PSCAD, DigSILENT, ETAP, PSLF, CYME, MiPower

• Knowledge of grid stability, protection coordination, load forecasting

• Exposure to Python / Visual Basic scripting is a plus

 Opportunity to work on large-scale global energy projects and collaborate with international teams.

Intro

EAGLE Power Holdings aims to launch a portfolio of new energy retail brands, all of which enjoy the efficiency of a single technology platform. We want to do more than offer cheap "green" tariffs, and believe that our range of engaging brands can identify with shifts in consumer preferences (e.g. growth of EV usage), with the value of local communities, and with proactive support of broader ESG causes.

Our long-term strategy is technology-driven, and involves unlocking value through the digitalisation of processes around customer acquisition, engagement, and retention.
Developers at EAGLE flourish in an agile process where collaboration and ego-free communication is valued. We believe in developing working software throughout the entire product development process. We engage in product thinking as a team and cross-functionality among product managers, designers, and domain experts is promoted.

How you fit in

Engineering is the executional function of EAGLE's software delivery wing. As a server-side developer at Eagle, you will take the lead on implementing various software services of our core energy retail infrastructure. Not only are you expected to write clean, tested, and maintainable code, you will also be a central part of a product team that iterates constantly, ships regularly, and learns continuously. You will have the creative freedom for learning, experimenting, and responsible risk-taking in a startup environment.

What your role consists of:

• Develop enterprise-scale backend services using Golang

• Collaborate with engineers, UI/UX designers, and product owners to build & ship new features and maintain/enhance existing ones

• Independently come up with extensible low-level software design. Write modular, tested, readable and performant code

• Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack

• Help inform product prioritisation and scoping decisions by evaluating technical complexity and risk

• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes

• Maintain technical documentation

What you bring to this role:

• At least 1-3 years of demonstrated ability to rely on an iterative process to maintain momentum on projects in a distributed, collaborative, agile environment
• An ownership mindset: you should look not only at what you’re asked to do, but ask why you’re doing it and how it impacts on the rest of the product, our customers, and whether it makes sense
• Comfort with low-level engineering and ability to write efficient, performant and tested code
• Think deeply about systems and services and write high-quality code. We work mostly in Golang, with AWS Cloudformation. However, languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than - knowledge of a particular language or framework.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to give and receive constructive feedback
• Passion for the whole product process. You will have your specific areas of focus, but we find those that are passionate about the bigger picture collaborate best with cross-functional teams

Where we are

While the company is registered in the UK, the software delivery wing is built to be remote-first. Whether you prefer to be in situ or a digital nomad (or anything in between), you are welcome. We are not inclined to support relocation to London for candidates that are not already based there, as we are a remote-first company. 

What’s in it for you

We offer competitive salaries based on prevailing rates in your local employment market, but there is further room to negotiate if you are the right candidate. In addition to your basic package, you can expect to receive the following benefits:

• Flexible working hours
• Unlimited annual leave
• On-the-job coaching, and access to mentorship by industry and domain thought leaders
• Full or partial sponsorship for professional/skill development courses, certifications, and other learning opportunities (evaluated on a case-by-case basis)
• Monthly allowance package for remote working (coworking membership or cash allowance)

About EAGLE Power Holdings

In a nutshell: Transforming energy retail and supply through cutting-edge software and AI technology

The venture is in ‘stealth mode’ as we lay the foundations for blast-off. It has been launched by a team with a history of entrepreneurial successes. These include one in the climate change space which services the Californian and North America carbon markets, and another which provides highly refined machine learning software to the energy arena in Asia. Both companies were acquired last year. 

This start-up was launched in London at the end of 2020, and will focus on the deregulated energy market in GB. The mission is to discover, or invent, a viable business and operational model for energy retail within the near-zero-cost energy ecosystem that the world is moving towards. This transformation is driven by the ever-decreasing prices of renewables/alternative generation, and by the exponentially growing volumes of national energy system data. We believe these factors have yet to truly disrupt the market, and intend to accelerate the sharing of value back to consumers.
