Where You’ll Go From Here

• Kyruuvians in the Technical Project Manager role can move in a more linear career path on the Project Management team. The next step is Senior Technical Project Manager or progress to a management position with the Project Management vertical.
• Kyruus also loves to see an internal transfer. If a linear career path is not what you’re looking for, you can work with your manager and HR to explore lateral moves to other parts of the organization as you continue to grow with us.
