Project Lead

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Project Lead based in the United States. This role sits at the center of cross-functional execution, driving high-impact projects in a fast-scaling digital marketplace environment.

The role requires strong decision-making under uncertainty, with the ability to identify risks early and keep momentum across multiple workstreams. You will be responsible for ensuring delivery quality while balancing speed in a high-growth environment. Success in this position depends on ownership, communication clarity, and the ability to influence without formal authority. This is a hands-on leadership role where execution discipline directly shapes product and business success. Accountabilities

• Own end-to-end project delivery from planning through execution, ensuring clear accountability, strong coordination, and successful outcomes across all phases.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams including engineering, product, design, and business stakeholders to maintain alignment and execution velocity.

• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving environments while maintaining structure and clarity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to align diverse stakeholders.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across engineering, product, design, and business teams.
• Analytical thinking skills with the ability to identify root causes and propose practical solutions.
