About The Position

Software Mind is partnering with a leading US-based promotional products and e-commerce company to build a shipping and delivery service for its white-label B2B commerce platform. The platform is built on Shopify Plus with a .NET microservices backend on AWS, and the service will integrate with major shipping carriers, the e-commerce storefront, and existing order management systems. This is a short, focused engagement consisting of a discovery phase followed by two-week sprints through production release. The Senior Project Manager owns end-to-end delivery, from discovery through production release. The role leads the discovery phase and go/no-go decision, manages the delivery plan and project controls, coordinates a cross-functional team and multiple stakeholders, and plans UAT, release, acceptance evidence, and handover. The role also maintains project governance and reporting for the client and Software Mind leadership.
