Senior Project Manager (India)

Karat is transforming organizations around the world. We provide a powerful system for technical leaders at companies like PayPal, Atlassian, and Citi who want to take control of how they hire top engineers, elevate their teams and contractors, and stay ahead. At the core of Karat’s system are live, expert-led interviews, analytics designed to give leaders maximum visibility, and the most robust interview performance dataset in the world.

Our Professional Services team sits at the center of Karat's largest and most strategic client relationships, turning signed contracts into successful, expanding partnerships through onboarding, delivery, and the ongoing work of proving Karat's value at scale.

As Senior Project Manager at Karat, you keep engagement work moving for one or more of the company's most strategic accounts. You partner day to day with an assigned Delivery Partner, as well as work alongside Solutions Engineers and Client Partners who round out the assigned account pod. This is a senior individual contributor role: you make judgment calls and resolve issues directly with client counterparts rather than simply routing them. As one of Karat's first dedicated Project Managers in this model, you'll also help shape what this role becomes as the team grows.
