About The Role
The Project Manager keeps engineering and cross-functional teams aligned, driving software projects from scoping through launch. This is a hands-on execution role in a fast-moving product environment, coordinating across engineering, design, and go-to-market teams.
The role matters because velocity depends on it: clear plans, unblocked teams, and early risk detection. You will own the delivery cadence for multiple concurrent initiatives, translating ambiguity into schedules and tradeoffs leadership can act on.
Key Responsibilities
Own end-to-end delivery of product and engineering projects, from kickoff and scoping through launch and retrospectives
Build and maintain project plans, roadmaps, and sprint schedules in Jira and Confluence; track dependencies across 3-5 concurrent workstreams
Run agile ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, and retros; keep scope, timeline, and resourcing decisions documented and visible
Identify risks, blockers, and scope creep early; escalate with a recommended path forward rather than just the problem
Partner with engineering leads on capacity planning, release readiness, and launch checklists across CI/CD and QA milestones
Produce status reporting and executive dashboards covering timeline health, risks, and key deliverables
Improve team processes incrementally — refine intake, prioritization, and postmortem practices based on what actually ships
What We Are Looking For
3-7 years of project or program management experience delivering software products in agile environments
Deep fluency with Jira, Confluence, and modern collaboration tooling (Slack, Linear, Notion, or similar)
Strong grasp of the software development lifecycle, including QA, release management, and CI/CD basics
Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and competing priorities across engineering, design, and business teams
Excellent written communication — crisp status updates, clear decision logs, honest risk assessments
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience; PMP, CSM, or SAFe certification a plus
Bonus: experience at a high-growth startup, technical background (CS degree or prior engineering work), or SQL/dashboarding skills for self-serve reporting
