About South Geeks

South Geeks is a US-based staff augmentation company that partners with top product and engineering teams across the US to connect them with exceptional Latin American talent. We work with fast-moving companies that care deeply about quality, ownership, and long-term collaboration.

About the project

Our client supports the accounting department of a major US on-demand logistics and food delivery platform — handling reconciliations, month-end close, and financial reporting at significant scale. You'll plug into an established team with executive-level visibility and real impact on how the accounting function runs.

About the role

You'll own end-to-end delivery planning and execution on complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives, while being hands-on with the data, the tickets and the details. If you enjoy running the project and digging into the work itself, you'll thrive here.

What you'll do

• Drive strategic, tactical, and operational planning across large-scale projects — tasks, deliverables, dependencies, resources.

• Create, execute, and communicate project plans covering scope, schedule, staffing, quality, risk, budget, and procurement.

• Mitigate risks, resolve issues, close resource gaps, and keep initiatives aligned to strategic objectives.

• Establish intake, grooming, assignment, and management processes for engineering tasks and tickets.

• Review project financials, monitor variances, and manage change controls.

• Facilitate team meetings, workshops, and stakeholder reviews; produce clear notes and follow-ups.

• Define and continuously improve PM processes, methodologies, and tools.

• Measure project performance using appropriate systems and techniques.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of Project Management experience leading complex projects from initiation to completion.

• 5+ years working in agile environments on projects or portfolios.

• Strong hands-on fluency with Jira (required) and other PM tooling.

• Proficiency in project planning, risk management, and change control.

• Excellent executive-level stakeholder communication and presentation skills.

• Ability to motivate, drive, and inspire delivery teams.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Project Management, or a related field — or equivalent experience.

• Basic SQL skills and familiarity with accounting concepts are a strong plus.

• Professional English proficiency (written and verbal).

• Must be based in Brazil with the ability to align with US Pacific business hours.

We strive to create an inspiring and growth-oriented environment where everyone feels valued, heard and empowered. We promote both personal and professional development, with individualized support for your needs and goals. We aim to build a space where everyone can thrive.

• 100% remote work

• Payment in USD

• Paid Time Off (PTO)
