About The Position

Enterprise Knowledge (EK) is hiring a full-time Project Manager to join our growing Enterprise Delivery team. This individual will manage business strategy and technical delivery projects for a range of commercial and federal clients. As with all of our positions, we are seeking independent thinkers with creative problem-solving skills. As a Project Manager Consultant, you will take ownership of projects leading complex engagements that meet both client expectations and business objectives. You'll drive project planning and road mapping, keeping schedules, budgets, and stakeholder communications on track while ensuring the team stays focused on overarching goals rather than just individual deliverables. You'll serve as a key voice in client-facing meetings, articulating business value, navigating change requests strategically, and representing EK's capabilities to build trust and expand engagement opportunities. This role calls for someone who thrives on structure and follow-through—someone who can facilitate high-stakes conversations, document and drive decisions to closure, and keep projects organized and moving even amid ambiguity. As an EKer, you will join a fast-growing company that is committed to equity and inclusion, have the opportunity to work in a collaborative workplace, take advantage of our unique benefits, and help build our innovative culture.
