Professional Services Project / Program Manager

Professional Services Project / Program Manager

At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life's moments better. Which is why we've built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.

We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We're expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data.

With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can't do it exceptionally well, we don't do it. It's how we've assembled a team of world‑class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it's how we're reinventing what's possible every day.

Job Summary

Plume is seeking an experienced Professional Services Project / Program Manager to lead the successful delivery of implementation projects for our ISP customers. This role ensures that once a Professional Services Statement of Work (SOW) is sold, the project is executed on time, within scope, and to the highest standards of quality.

Ensure customers clearly understand responsibilities, expectations, and required inputs

Interpret and manage the SOW to ensure all work is delivered as contracted

Develop and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, milestones, and critical paths

Align project timelines with customer readiness and operational constraints

Manage multiple concurrent ISP implementation projects at varying levels of complexity

Track project performance metrics such as timeline adherence, issue frequency, and customer satisfaction

Conduct post‑project reviews to capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement within Professional Services

10-25% travel, may be required

Qualification Requirements

8+ years of experience in Project Management, Program Management, or Technical Delivery roles

Proven track record leading customer‑facing technical projects, ideally with ISPs, telecom operators, or network technology vendors

Strong understanding of project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid)

Exceptional communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills

Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously

Strong risk management, resource planning, and issue resolution capabilities

Experience interpreting SOWs and managing scope boundaries

Preferred

Success Indicators

High customer satisfaction scores during project execution and after handover

Smooth, complete project handovers to Customer Success with no critical gaps

Strong internal stakeholder feedback on project leadership and communication
