Job description

We're hiring a mid-senior Project Manager (Shopify) on a remote monthly retainer. This is for an agency PM who has managed projects for Shopify store builds and theme development: the kind of PM who works at an agency serving different merchants and brands, building and maintaining Shopify solutions across many client accounts. You'll deal with the end client, manage the internal team, run multiple Shopify projects at once, and bring a solid understanding of how Shopify is structured and how it works. If that matches how you've worked, we want to talk.

About Us

Bolder Apps is a product development studio that partners with US-based startups and established companies to build and scale innovative digital products. We specialize in AI-powered development, full-cycle product creation, and engineering team augmentation. Our mission is simple: build bolder, faster, and smarter.

Culture & Values (read before applying)

We move fast. We take ownership. We work with AI, not against it. And we expect everyone to bring ideas, not wait for instructions. There are no daily checklists, no micromanagement, and no corporate politics. Instead, you'll have autonomy, trust, and a team that's always ready to help you grow. At Bolder Apps , impact matters more than titles, and curiosity matters more than seniority. If you want a place where you can level up fast and actually see your work making a difference - welcome aboard.

Responsibilities

• Manage Shopify store build and theme development projects for client merchants and brands, often several at the same time
• Be the day-to-day owner facing the end client: scope, timelines, status, and hard trade-offs in clear English
• Manage the internal team (developers, designers, QA) so tickets, priorities, and blockers stay honest
• Translate merchant and brand goals into phased Shopify work that the team can actually ship
• Use real Shopify literacy (themes, apps, checkout, content, go-live constraints) to challenge fake estimates and spot launch risk early
• Run kickoff through launch for store builds and ongoing theme maintenance across different brands
• Keep US clients updated in writing and on live calls during agreed Eastern Time overlap
• Use AI tools to draft plans, tickets, status updates, and risk notes, then review the output yourself before it reaches a client
• Leave clean handoff docs so another PM or engineer can pick up without archaeology

Requirements

• Agency Shopify PM experience. You have managed projects for Shopify store builds and theme development inside an agency that serves different merchants and brands, not only one internal store.
• Volume and multi-project. You have run as many Shopify client projects as you can honestly claim, often more than one brand at a time, and kept deadlines honest.
• End-client ownership. Comfortable dealing directly with merchants, founders, or brand stakeholders. You explain trade-offs without blaming the team.
• Internal team leadership. You manage developers and designers day to day: clear tickets, clear owners, clear status.
• Shopify literacy. Solid understanding of how Shopify is structured and how it works (themes vs apps vs checkout, content freezes, launch windows). You do not need to write Liquid, but you know what good Shopify delivery looks like.
• Delivery tools. Comfortable with Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana, or similar.
• AI-augmented workflow. You use ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or similar to move faster on plans and communication, and you catch when the draft is wrong for the client.
• English at C1 or above. Client calls and written updates go out in your voice.
• US hours overlap. Available through roughly 5 PM EST for live client coordination.
• Ownership habits. Honest timelines, early blockers, finished launches. No disappearing acts.

Benefits

• Fully remote and async-friendly, with required overlap through ~5 PM EST for client sessions
• Monthly retainer structure with recurring Shopify client work for PMs who keep multi-brand launches calm
• Real autonomy over how you structure delivery and communication. We do not hand you a rigid playbook
• Direct line to developers, designers, and decision-makers
• Tooling budget for the PM and AI tools you need to move fast
• A peer network of product-minded builders across overlapping client projects
