Lead Technical R&D Project Manager Job in Canada Recruiting by Arctic Wolf

Arctic Wolf, with its unicorn valuation, is the leader in security operations in an exciting and fast-growing industry—cybersecurity. We have won countless awards for our excellence in security operations and remain dedicated to providing an industry-leading customer and employee experience.

Our mission is simple: End Cyber Risk. We’re looking for a  Lead Technical R&D Project Manager  to be a part of making this happen.

About the Role

As a Lead Project Manager you will work with R&D teams to help drive agile software delivery. This is a hands-on Project Manager role. You will be working with R&D leaders to not only manage project delivery, but also focused on working with R&D leaders and the R&D Operations team to define and rollout project management best practices across R&D teams.

Accountable for organizing project teams to achieve exceptional results with a high-level of predictability and quality whilst delivering significant business value to customers. Expected to have knowledge and experience in blending traditional project management principles and practices with an Agile development approach to provide the right balance of agility and predictability.

Previous Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) project management experience required.

​

Responsibilities

We value a culture of sharing, so every team has the opportunity to share their work with the entire department during our monthly R&D Demos. Once a year we hold a department-wide Hackathon, teaming up across all R&D teams over four days to collaborate and build cool ideas outside the normal project scope. While innovation is the focus, some of these ideas do make it into our products.

Who You Are

In addition, you have proven leadership experience from previous projects, regardless of title held. You have the ability to perform programming tasks and large engineering projects with Independence and expertise. You will be responsible for guiding and mentoring other staff members and will regularly lead technical projects. You have a high level of mastery over software development best practices and building reusable design patterns.

You have a history of delivering successful projects, as well as some lessons learned from failures. Even if you haven’t worked with all of our specific technologies, you bring a diverse knowledge base that you use to help the team solve complex technical problems. You’ll receive all the security training you need during our onboarding process and through additional training on the job.
