Senior Project Manager

About the role

At DFX5 we build and deliver software and technology solutions that move our clients' businesses forward. We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to own the end-to-end delivery of complex software and IT projects — from kickoff to go-live — keeping teams aligned, stakeholders informed, and outcomes on scope, on time, and on budget. You'll be the connective tissue between engineering, product, design, and the client, turning ambiguous goals into clear plans and shipped results.

This is a senior, high-ownership role for someone who has run multiple software delivery projects, thrives in fast-moving environments, and knows how to lead without waiting to be told what to do.

What you'll do

• Lead the full lifecycle of software/IT projects: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closeout.

• Define scope, timelines, budgets, and success metrics with stakeholders, and manage them proactively as things change.

• Run Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, reviews, retrospectives) and adapt Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid approaches to fit each team.

• Manage cross-functional teams of engineers, designers, QA, and product, removing blockers and keeping delivery on track.

• Own risk, issue, and dependency management — anticipating problems before they derail the roadmap.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients and internal leadership, communicating status, tradeoffs, and decisions clearly.

• Track budgets, resource allocation, and capacity, and report on health, velocity, and forecasts.

• Drive continuous improvement in delivery processes, tooling, and team practices.

What you bring

• 6+ years managing software/technology projects, including 3+ years in a senior or lead PM capacity.

• Proven track record delivering complex, multi-team software projects on time and on budget.

• Strong command of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and traditional/waterfall approaches, and the judgment to know when to use each.

• Hands-on experience with project and collaboration tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Monday, or similar.

• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills.

• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), so you can speak the language of engineering teams.

• Fluent English; additional languages a plus.

Education & certifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Systems/Software Engineering, Industrial Engineering, IT, Business, or a related field (Master's or MBA a plus).

• One or more of the following certifications strongly preferred: PMP (Project Management Professional), PMI-ACP, Certified ScrumMaster (CSM/PSM), PRINCE2, or SAFe Agilist.

The impact you'll have

You'll directly shape how DFX5 delivers value to its clients. Your projects will define whether products ship on time, whether clients trust us with their next initiative, and whether our teams operate with clarity or chaos. The right person raises the bar for delivery quality across the organization, mentors junior PMs, and becomes a driving force behind DFX5's growth and reputation in the market.

Why DFX5

• Build edge technology that matters. You'll create cutting-edge solutions for customers across financial institutions, retail, telcos, CPG, and mining.

• Work with the best. You'll engage with top companies in Latin America and around the world.

• Big challenges, big rewards. You'll tackle genuinely complex problems — and be rewarded for solving them.
