Benjamin Obeng
@benjaminobeng
Cross-functional Project Manager delivering emerging technologies and measurable business outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Project and Operations Manager with 8+ years delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives on time and under budget across marketing, construction, logistics, utilities, and digital product delivery. I’m comfortable in fast-paced, remote environments with shifting priorities, and I consistently translate technical progress into clear business updates for executive stakeholders.
At Pioneer Utility Resources, I managed a concurrent portfolio of digital and print projects while leading a cross-functional team of designers, copywriters, and developers. I promoted from Project Manager to Production Team Manager within 12 months and maintained a 95%+ on-time delivery rate through milestone-based planning and daily alignment meetings. I also served as the primary communication bridge between teams and senior stakeholders, negotiated vendor cost reductions saving clients over $85,000, and mentored two team members to close a staffing gap.
In my product-focused work, I served as a Product Manager (Contract) for a B2C SaaS AI coaching platform from 0 to launch. I owned the end-to-end product roadmap, led sprint planning and stand-ups across engineering/design/QA, defined success criteria for AI technology pilots, documented lessons learned, and removed recurring technical bottlenecks to restore delivery throughput.
