Hi everyone! I am actively looking for new opportunities as a Project or Product Manager. I have experience in managing projects at all levels, from writing tasks and project documentation to release management with Agile methodology. I am also skilled in MVP definition, roadmap planning, workflow creation, and development organization. On the product management side, my skills include creating hypotheses based on project needs, defining project requirements, making data-driven decisions to push the project forward, and developing ideas into comprehensive documentation. #OpenToWork #projectmanagement #productmanagement

Another day another post. Committing myself to finding the right role. Beyond the title, what I want is to be able to help others find solutions to their problems. I can do it through project management, product management, technical support, you name it. I listen with the intent to understand, not respond. Known for being analytical and soft-spoken. Sometimes it will take me a few moments to reflect on what all's been mentioned in order to process the possible paths forward. Because of this, I take a lot of pride in when I speak up to offer what I believe is the right thing to say in that moment. #opentowork #problemsolver #productmanagers #projectmanagement

Authenticity is a key attribute in the Program Management Mindset because people are used to: 1) Selfish leaders, and 2) Leaders acting fake Show up as the decent dude (or dudette) with a credible plan, vision, transparent expectations, and a “mission first, people always” attitude” and a synergy starts to form. People just want authenticity and a chance to succeed.

And since I'm job searching, I must brag a bit more. I will unapologetically and happily use every available avenue to highlight my skills, including LinkedIn articles. These are truly my favorite areas, and I can’t wait for the opportunity to help teams with change management, fostering an agile mindset, and facilitating team development in psychologically safe environments. I want to help form high-performing, agile teams where every single person belongs. Collaborating with these individuals to create amazing products would bring me immense joy. That’s exactly what I want to do. ✔️ I'm excited to work on products, empowering others, and stressing the importance of healthy and safe working environments. And while I love technology and utilizing different tools to get things done, my biggest focus is and always will be the people on my team. This is what drives my passion. Let me know if you have any recommendations 🫶 Let's spread the word and let’s celebrate changes. Corporate needs changes. #ChangeManagement #AgileMindset #OpenToWork

I believe success as a PM is now being defined by how well one can blend their personal attributes with their professional skills to encourage a collaborative and engaging team dynamic. Your uniqueness is your Strength! There has never been anyone on the earth before exactly like you, which is why being authentic, embracing your individuality, and trusting in your personal approach are essential to highlighting the value you bring to the table. So, be bold, be yourself, and watch as your authenticity becomes the key to unlocking unprecedented success and fulfillment in your role as a project manager! ( And for those who are #opentowork ... it might be the key to finally landing that dream role )
