Waterloo, Canada Pontosense Full time

**About Pontosense**:
At Pontosense, we have a groundbreaking mission: saving lives. Our wireless sensing modules are at the forefront of this life-saving technology, the only one of its kind in the world; offering unparalleled medical-grade accuracy for crucial biometrics.

Imagine a sensor that can wirelessly monitor vital signs like heart rate, breathing, and even advanced biometrics. This sensor becomes your personal guardian angel, promptly alerting your car or house at the first sign of an emergency. With Pontosense, you can ensure the safety of your living space like never before. Today, we are fortunate to work with the most prominent automotive and smart home companies - think of one; chances are, we are their partner.

Founded in Waterloo, we have grown to offices in Toronto, Japan, China, and Germany. Our founding team has invented over 500+ patents (more than Airbnb and Snapchat combined) and built three different unicorns ($1B+ market cap), and wireless sensing is our passion - we want to change the world for the better.

**The Projects team**:
The success of our wireless sensing innovations and their impact on daily life relies heavily on our Projects team. This team is a critical bridge between our internal team and external clients and partners, ensuring that their needs are being met and that projects are delivered with excellence.

As a Junior Project Manager, you will:

- Be an industry expert, championing Pontosense’s product and technology.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with our clients, including senior and executive-level stakeholders.
- Own all aspects of the project by developing project plans, schedules, timelines, resource management, and budget.
- Lead communications on project progress, updates, and risks to clients and other stakeholders.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless project execution and delivery.
- Strive for continuous improvement, working alongside our technical development team.

**Highlights from other Project Managers on the team**:

- I have learned new technical skills and have had the opportunity to develop skills through leading client meetings and demos and attending large-scale conferences.
- Steering projects for well-known automotive and AgeTech clients, I take great satisfaction in raising safety standards and meeting the needs of society. With my involvement in over five client projects, I find joy in prioritizing safety in design and making a positive global impact.

**To be successful in this role**:
This is by no means an exhaustive list, if you do not meet most or all of these points, we still encourage you to apply.
- You have proven success in managing multiple client-facing projects from end to end.
- You have demonstrated the ability to lead meetings and drive consensus among a group of both technical and strategic stakeholders.
- You have exceptional communication skills and can effectively convey your ideas no matter who your audience is.
- You are a critical thinker and problem-solver, always paying close attention to detail.
- You pride yourself on your organizational capabilities, consistently working to present your work in a thoughtful and effective way.

**What you can expect in our process**:
**Step 2**: You’ll meet with Georgia Deacon, the Project Engineering Manager and hiring manager for this role, for a 45-minute Teams interview.

**Step 3**: You’ll meet with Muxin Ma, our COO, for a 60-minute Teams interview.

**Step 4**: You will meet with Alex Qi, our CEO, for a 30-minute Teams interview. If you are local, this interview will be in person at our Waterloo office.

**Why Join Our Team?**:

- Join an exciting, innovative, fast-paced technology start-up disrupting the industry.
- Be part of a small, tight-knit team where you are encouraged to be creative and take risks and your contributions make a huge impact.
- Competitive salary and benefits for full-time employees that include comprehensive health benefits, 15 days of vacation, and a hybrid work environment.
- Enjoy a fun, relaxed work culture that values collaboration, inclusivity, and work-life balance.
- Excellent mentorship opportunities with the ability to grow.

**Our Commitment**:
At Pontosense, we are committed to creating a workplace that is inclusive and accessible to all. We value diversity and believe that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to succeed.

If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation during the hiring process, please let us know. We will work with you to make the necessary accommodations to ensure a fair and positive experience for all applicants.
