What are the responsibilities and job description for the Junior Project Manager position at TalentBurst, an Inc 5000 company?
Title: Junior Project Manager
Location: Hillsboro, OR 97124
Duration: 6 months plus extensions
Work Mode: Hybrid (3 day per week onsite)
Position Overview:
Synopsys is strengthening operational rigor and accelerating execution across its IPG and SSG businesses. To support this effort, the SVP Office is hiring a highly motivated and proactive Junior Project Manager who will report directly to the Technical Chief of Staff to the Senior Vice President.
This role is ideal for someone early in their project or program management career who wants high visibility, fast learning, and direct exposure to senior leadership, while also developing strong operational and administrative execution skills. Working as part of the SVP Office, you will support both day-to-day operational needs and cross-functional project initiatives, helping ensure the SVP and Chief of Staff can operate with maximum focus and effectiveness.
This is a hybrid role: part project coordination, part operational support, and part executive administrative support. The role includes meaningful, hands on administrative responsibilities, including scheduling, meeting coordination, and execution support, and will directly help offload work from both the Technical Chief of Staff and the SVP's Executive Assistant. The ideal candidate understands that strong administrative execution is foundational to effective leadership, project delivery, and organizational impact.
