Project Manager

About Us:

Proton.ai is revolutionizing wholesale distribution. Distributors sell nearly every physical good you come across. Key to the economy, they make up over 28% of GDP. But there’s a problem. Selling as a distributor is complicated. Distributors carry hundreds of thousands of complicated SKUs, making it impossible for distributors to know what their customers need. Proton cuts through this complexity with AI. We provide a solution that modernizes distributors' sales efforts. And in doing so, we help distributors better serve their customers.

Our company is in hyper-growth mode. We've had significant year-over-year revenue growth, and we just raised a $20M Series A backed by Felicis Ventures (investors in Twitch, Shopify, Opendoor, and many others) and Battery Ventures. Needless to say, it’s an exciting time to join the Proton.ai team.

The Role:

As part of the Proton Professional Services team, the Project Manager will act as the main point of contact post-sale, managing large-scale IT projects focused on strategic alignment and successful delivery. This includes overseeing project management tasks, from kickoff meetings and requirements gathering to design reviews and integration support. The Project Manager will collaborate with Customer Engineers to implement technical requirements and with the Customer Success Manager to ensure alignment with business goals.

We are looking to hire someone in the greater Boston area who is open to a hybrid schedule (3 days in office, Kendal square). The target salary range for this role is $80,000- $100,000 base (US—adjusted for international). Final offers will be based on your skills and previous experience.
