Position: Project Manager
Category: Project Manager
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 2

I’ve recently started my own growth path by switching a career from a non-IT sphere to an IT project manager. I graduated from a 4-month Project Management School at EPAM Systems University. The School gave me the most up-to-date management skills to enter the job market as a competitive project manager. Furthermore, I am constantly updating my knowledge by watching online courses about Agile frameworks, SQL, nuances of web development, etc. 

While working in the Ukrainian B2B company, I learned how to become a proficient project manager from scratch. I gained solid experience in achieving long-term goals, which included detailed planning of strategy and controlling its implementation and functionality. I was in charge of the software engineers’ team, so I immersed myself in development processes and details. To organize work and improve the tracking system I implemented a Project Management tool (Wrike, Jira analog). I was also responsible for launching the company’s own product from a supplier’s search to brand development and marketing support including the site. 

My previous experience taught me a lot about communication and the importance of asking questions. That being in the team means being flexible and never stopping learning. I am an accuracy-oriented and dedicated person with a proactive approach and an ability to operate both independently and as a team player in a fast-paced environment. 

I believe that the combination of my skills and the experience of applying them will help me to contribute to your team and become fundamental for my future career.
