About the Role

We’re looking for a Part-Time Project Manager to take ownership of delivery processes, enabling the engineering team to focus on product development and execution. You’ll bring structure, cadence, and communication excellence to a small, high-output team.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role—ideal for someone who thrives on organizing technical work, running scrums, tracking progress, and ensuring projects move from planning to production smoothly.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own day-to-day project coordination, including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Maintain clear visibility into project status, priorities, and dependencies using GitHub Projects (or similar tools).
• Support backlog management and ensure tickets meet the team’s “Definition of Ready.”
• Track timelines, milestones, risks, and blockers—surfacing trade-offs early and clearly.
• Manage QA coordination, documentation, and release communication.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and leadership to ensure predictable, high-quality delivery cycles.
• Continuously improve process efficiency, communication, and automation.

Required Skills

• 3–5+ years of experience as a Project Manager or Delivery Manager, ideally in a startup or software environment.
• Proven experience running agile ceremonies (scrum or kanban).
• Excellent organizational and communication skills—clear, concise, and proactive.
• Proficiency with GitHub Projects, Jira, or similar workflow tools.
• Comfortable collaborating with engineers working on modern web stacks (Next.js, TypeScript, Firebase, MongoDB, GraphQL, Python microservices).
• Familiarity with using AI tools to streamline project documentation, coordination, and reporting.
• Strong understanding of project tracking, risk management, and delivery discipline.

Nice to Have Skills

• Experience in a fast-paced startup or small engineering team environment.
• Basic knowledge of product development processes or product management principles.
• Exposure to analytics, QA processes, or lightweight release documentation.
• Familiarity with tools like Figma, BigQuery, and Looker.
