Consider Joining Our Growing Team!
Green River Project Managers work with our clients to facilitate information-sharing and decision-making; elicit customer and software needs, and help our team navigate scope, timeline and budget constraints. We are transparent with our clients—you should take this on wholeheartedly, and like the rest of us, care deeply about our clients’ success. You need to be knowledgeable about the process for developing web applications, and adept at project management tools that support Agile processes.
