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.
