Description
Momentum Design Lab helps fast-paced technology startups, emerging software companies, and big tech to solve high-impact business challenges through digital experience design. Our engagements span user/customer research, product strategy, design, and software development. We are customer experience obsessed, blending both digital product and service design to create experiences that are innovative and transformative to their organisations and their customers. Our approaches are versatile, so each project may be unique in workflow and deliverables; from innovation sprints to extensive design thinking exercises, we adapt to meet the ever-changing needs of the customer.
As a successful candidate, you will be responsible for ensuring the delivery on time and on budget of our projects using Agile methodology. You will work closely with clients throughout the entire lifecycle of products, gaining exposure to different industries and businesses.

You will also manage multiple concurrent projects, conduct daily SCRUMs, and resolve project roadblocks. Your contributions will play a key role in the success of our clients' products. To succeed in this role, you will need to have excellent attention to detail and be able to see the big picture.

- Manage complex engagements from kickoff to final delivery (e.g., resourcing, internal/client kick-off, status calls & meetings, deliverables, backlog, reports, reviews/iteration sessions, co-creation workshops, delivery meetings, etc.)
- Being a rapid thinker on your feet, with empathy and understanding of clients and business needs.
- Identify the sprint goals, user stories, and tasks with product owners at the beginning of each sprint.
- Conduct the daily stand-ups and ensure the timely resolution of discrepancies and project roadblocks.
Minimum Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience managing projects and strong knowledge of the key components of Agile project management (e.g., scope, time, cost, quality, resources, communication, risk, etc.) and associated tools, best practices, and methodologies.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent customer management skills and the ability to work with customers to develop and manage project plans.
- Proven organizational skills and strong attention to detail.

- Self-starter, ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- A sense of humor and tenacity.
- Recent project delivery experience relevant to software UX design and development is preferred.
- Must be authorized to work in the UK.
