We're looking for an experienced, remote Technical Project Manager based in Jakarta, Indonesia, to be the main link between our clients and our development team. You will own client relationships from kickoff to delivery: running meetings and presentations, understanding what clients really need, and turning that into clear, actionable requirements for our engineers. You don't need to write code, but you should be comfortable talking about software, understand how web platforms and integrations work, and be able to explain technical topics in plain language. If you're a confident communicator who is fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, communicates well in English, and enjoys keeping clients happy and projects on track, we'd love to hear from you.

• Relay technical updates, constraints, and trade‑offs back to clients in simple, non‑technical language.
• Plan projects end to end: scope, timelines, milestones, priorities, and deliverables.
• Run regular progress check‑ins with the development team and keep project boards and documentation up to date.

• At least 3 years of experience as a Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, IT Project Manager, Account Manager, or a similar client‑facing role, ideally in software, IT, or a digital agency.
• Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills; confident leading meetings and presenting to clients and management.
• Strong technical communication: able to understand how web and software projects work (e.g., websites, dashboards, APIs, integrations) and explain technical issues clearly to non‑technical people.
• Proven ability to turn client needs into clear written requirements for developers.
• Solid organisation and time management; able to manage several projects and clients at once.
• Experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira, Trello, ClickUp, Asana, or similar).
• Familiarity with Agile or Scrum ways of working.
• Fluent in Bahasa Indonesia (spoken and written).
• Good working English (spoken and written), enough to communicate clearly with clients and the team.
