GoHealth was recently named in the top 100 Best Workplaces in Chicago by the Chicago Tribune and is one of Inc 500's Fastest Growing Software Companies in America.
Exciting opportunity for an experienced Project Manager who wants to work in a fast paced, exciting environment where you can see the impact of the things you do every day. This position will involve working on cross-team projects, delivering solutions to our internal and external customers. We are responsible for working with our key general agency and carrier partners to implement large custom development projects leveraging our core quoting, CRM and e-application platforms. You will be working with our partners as well as an ambitious and extremely talented team of project managers, business analysts, software engineers and quality assurance analysts.
We employ an agile methodology (Scrum) and fully embrace the fundamentals of continuous improvements, self organizing teams, frequent demos, only as much documentation as is truly needed and processes that make sense for the organization (not for the sake of process). There are times when we do produce some traditional project artifacts, so it is important that someone in this role embraces agile, but is also well versed in other methodologies.
GoHealth is experiencing tremendous growth. This is a great time to join the team and help us continue to achieve great success!
