Job description

We are seeking a Project Manager to lead delivery of our Streaming & Membership Platform MVP; a unified directmto-fan digital platform where fans create a single account to access merchandise, event tickets, livestreams, and

Your primary mission is to own end-to-end delivery of the MVP build across a distributed team, coordinate directly with the client's Entertainment Team, and ensure the platform is live in time for a fixed-date premiere event. The build spans a 7-8 week fixed-price engagement across membership, livestreaming, headless commerce, and admin tooling workstreams, delivered by a dedicated cross-functional team.

The platform integrates Firebase Auth, Stripe Billing, Mux (livestreaming), and Shopify (headless commerce), built on a Next.js / Node.js stack. The ideal candidate is expected to understand the technical dependencies well enough

to sequence work, flag risk, and keep vendors, developers, along with the client aligned.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Delivery & Sprint Management

Build Phase Ownership: Plan and track delivery across the defined build phases within the 7-8 week build window:

(1) Kickoff

(3) Streaming & Commerce integration

(5) Testing (stress/load test) and

Milestone Tracking: Own delivery against contractual milestones (core functionality demo, staging

delivery, go-live) that are directly tied to the client's payment schedule.

Sprint Planning: Run sprint planning and delivery tracking across the Lead Full-Stack Developer, Backend Developer, Frontend Developer, DevOps/Cloud Engineer, and UX/UI Designer.

2. Client & Stakeholder Coordination

Primary Client Liaison: Act as the day-to-day point of contact for the client's Entertainment Team,

relaying questions, decisions, and status updates between both sides.

Content Dependency Management: Track and chase client-owned deliverables (brand assets, photography, editorial copy, product data, video content, translations) against the content calendar mitigating delay on the platform project.

Decision Log Ownership: Maintain a record of scope and requirement decisions confirmed with the client, and ensure they are reflected accurately in delivery.

Q&A Relay: Route technical questions between the client and the engineering team, and elevate blockers early.

Scope Governance: Enforce change-request discipline - any work beyond the agreed MVP scope is assessed, estimated, and approved in writing before execution.

4. Risk, Launch & Handover

Launch Coordination: Coordinate client communication during the first live event, working alongside the DevOps engineer who leads technical monitoring and incident response.

Risk Management: Proactively flag schedule, content, and scope risks, particularly around the fixed event date.

Managed Services Transition: Coordinate the handover from build to managed services, ensuring a minimum two-month overlap between build and run teams with no gap in coverage.

Requirements:

• Experience: 8-12+ years in digital product/platform delivery or technical project management, with a track record of owning fixed-price, milestone-based engagements
• Platform Delivery: Proven experience delivering consumer-facing digital platforms: exposure t streaming, e-commerce, or membership/subscription products is a strong plus.
• Vendor Coordination: Prior hands-on technical background (e.g. former developer, solutions engineer, or technical BA) preferred, even if not currently coding; sufficient to independently assess integration risk across multiple third-party platforms and APIs (Mux, Shopify, Stripe, Firebase).
• Distributed Team Management: Experience running sprints and delivery tracking for distributed, crossfunctional teams across time zones
• Client-Facing Skills: Strong stakeholder management skills, comfortable acting as the single point of contact for a non-technical client team
• Languages: Cantonese & English, as you may be working with different teams across various regions

Additional Information:

• ON-SITE; Wan Chai
• Min. 2 months; extendable period 2 months block on as-needed basis
• Working hours: 9 to 6 / 10 to 7 (negotiable)
• Language: Cantonese & English (must) - Mandarin (plus only)
