Onboarding Project Manager (FDE Partner)

Team: Forward Deployment Engineering (FDE)

About the Role

Pixalate is the market-leading fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform for Connected TV (CTV) and Mobile Advertising. We work 24/7 to guard our clients' reputations and grow their media value.

We are looking for an Onboarding Project Manager to serve as the "Operational Air Traffic Controller" for our Forward Deployment Engineering (FDE) team.

In this role, you are not just checking boxes; you are the Engine of Execution for our most critical customer integrations. While our FDEs architect the technical solutions to solve the "Last Mile" gap, YOU own the timeline, the momentum, and the governance. 

What You’ll Do

• Orchestrate the "Trial-to-Contract" Lifecycle: Own the master schedule for high-value Customer Trials. You manage the timeline, ensuring that both the Client and the FDE team hit their milestones to secure the win.
• Governance & Scope Integrity: Operational guardian of the Master Service Agreement (MSA). You ensure that the technical deliverables map 1:1 to the contract. If a client asks for features outside the agreed scope, you flag it immediately to prevent invisible scope creep.
• Manage SOW Delivery: Ensure this SOW is scoped, written, and signed off by the client as the official "Definition of Done."
• Protect the FDE’s Flow: Schedule the meetings, track the action items, and chase the client for data access—so the FDE can focus purely on the architecture.
• Stakeholder Management (The "Nudge" Role): Hold the client’s engineering and business teams accountable to the agreed-upon timeline without damaging the relationship.
• Resource Forecasting: Help leadership understand capacity. 

What You Bring

• The "Finisher" Mindset: If a meeting ends without clear Next Steps and Owners, it physically bothers you.
• Contract Literacy: You can read an MSA or SOW and understand the difference between "Best Efforts" and "Guaranteed Delivery." You know how to translate legal milestones into Jira tickets and hold teams accountable to them.
• 3+ Years of Technical Project Management: Experience in SaaS, AdTech, or Technical Implementation environments. PMP or Scrum Master certification is a plus.
• Technical Fluency: You don't need to code, but you must understand the difference between an API, a Data Feed, and a Dashboard. 
• Commercial Instinct: You understand that this is a Sales environment. The goal isn't just "Project Complete"; the goal is "Revenue Realized."
• Tool Mastery: You live in Jira, Asana, or Excel. You can turn a chaotic email thread into a clean Gantt chart in 10 minutes.

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree required; Master’s Degree preferred.
• Fields of Study: Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, or other relevant technical fields.
