International Project Manager (Remote) - RainFocus

RainFocus is in search of an exceptional Project Manager to join our rapidly growing team. We serve Fortune 500 companies like Adobe, Cisco, IBM, Oracle, VMware, and others to prepare and execute in-person, virtual, and hybrid events worldwide through our industry-disrupting software platform.

About the Role

Strong project management is a key element of client success at RainFocus. Our Project Managers are the driving force behind complex, multi-stakeholder event technology implementations — owning client relationships, leading cross-functional project teams, and ensuring every engagement moves forward with clarity and momentum.

This is a pure project management role. You will not be responsible for any platform configuration or technical build work — that is handled by your team of dedicated solution consultants and architects. Your focus is entirely on leadership: managing timelines and risks, building strong client relationships, aligning stakeholders, and driving successful outcomes across a portfolio of concurrent projects.

Our Project Managers typically manage multiple client engagements simultaneously, with project cycles averaging 9–12 months. This remote role can be located anywhere in the United States. Average travel is up to 15–20% (5–7 days per trip), primarily onsite at client events, which may include weekends.
