About Ackama

Technology that makes the world a better place. Clients who matter to you.

Ackama designs and builds web applications and websites for clients across a wide range of industries and does it because we genuinely believe technology can make the world a better place. We’re looking for a Project and Account Manager to lead the delivery of our client engagements and grow the relationships behind them.

If you’re the kind of person who can run a tight, well-scoped project and build a client relationship that lasts, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

You’ll lead engagements from kick-off to completion, keeping scope, schedule, and quality in balance while coaching your team to do their best work. At the same time, you’ll be the client’s trusted go-to, the person who understands their business, spots opportunities to add value, and helps the account grow over time.

Key responsibilities

• Driving projects towards delivering client outcomes
• Running agile project ceremonies, planning, monitoring and reporting
• Coaching your team and holding everyone accountable to do great work
• Managing risk, scope, and estimation with a level head
• Being the client’s primary contact and advocate
• Spotting and scoping opportunities for new or expanded work
• Keeping billing, invoicing, and reporting accurate and up-to-date
• Working with a talented team both remotely and in-person

About you

• Experience leading web or software delivery projects
• A genuine knack for building trust with clients
• Confidence facilitating and presenting to any audience, at any level
• Sound judgement on risk, scope, and estimates
• Curiosity about your client’s users, products, and goals, not just their deadlines
• Thorough understanding of systems, products and technologies
• Significant experience working with Government or the Energy and Utilities sector

Benefits

• Meaningful work on software projects that matter to clients and their customers
• An environment to grow and develop your skills
• Genuine flexibility, including remote working
• A team that has your back, with real investment in wellbeing
