IT Project Manager (Agile / Scrum)
Hybrid – Newport Beach, CA (2–3 days onsite per week)
Full-Time | $120K–$135K

We’re seeking a results-driven IT Project Manager to help drive key technology initiatives for a mid-sized, privately owned company in Newport Beach. This is a newly created role 

This position is ideal for someone who’s highly organized, an excellent communicator, and strong at execution — not necessarily deeply technical, but able to coordinate multiple teams, manage timelines, and ensure delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate 1–2 Scrum development teams (each 3–5 people) and other IT initiatives with budgets ranging from $500K–$1M.

• Manage web-based and digital development projects using the Scrum Agile Framework, ensuring clarity of requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria.

• Support and facilitate Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives.

• Work directly with Product Owners, Business Analysts, QA, Development, and Operations to align on scope, timelines, and deliverables.

• Drive project execution, ensuring risks, dependencies, and blockers are identified and resolved quickly.

• Communicate project status, metrics, and issues to leadership and stakeholders.

• Manage traditional Waterfall-style tasks where appropriate (budgeting, planning, or vendor coordination)

• Identify and implement opportunities for process improvement and continuous delivery maturity.

Qualifications

• 5–7 years of IT Project Management experience, with strong hands-on work in Agile / Scrum environments.

• Scrum Master certification required; solid understanding of Agile principles, ceremonies, and artifacts.

• PMP certification strongly preferred.

• Proven experience managing web or digital development projects and collaborating across business and technical teams.

• Comfortable managing both Agile and Waterfall methodologies as needed.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — essential for working closely with internal teams and external partners.

• Experience working in a smaller or mid-sized company (not large enterprise).

• Strong organizational skills; able to manage multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities.

• Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, or similar project management tools.

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business, or a related field.

Location & Compensation

• Location: Newport Beach, CA – Hybrid (2–3 days onsite per week)

• Compensation: $120K–$135K

• Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on IT Project Manager who thrives in a collaborative, mid-sized company culture — balancing Agile discipline with flexibility to keep projects on track and teams aligned.
