Summary

Commutatus is a digital product studio trusted by startups, corporates, and social orgs around the world. We build platforms with speed, structure, and strategy. We work with diverse organisations like AIESEC and Rajasthan Royals.

We’re looking for an Assistant Project Manager to support our leadership and tech teams in executing projects smoothly. This role is less about strategy and more about solid, dependable execution — breaking down requirements, tracking progress, and ensuring nothing slips.

You’ll work on both client and internal projects, and occasionally support in business ops too.

What’s expected of you

At an operational level:

• Turn requirements into structured, dev-ready tasks on ClickUp
• Coordinate with designers, developers, and leadership to ensure tasks are progressing
• Maintain documentation and ensure timelines are updated regularly
• Join internal and client calls, take clear notes, and follow up on action items

At a support level:

• Help prepare timelines, delivery checklists, and sprint plans
• Jump in where needed — whether it's documenting a feature, preparing a client update, or helping track UAT issues
• Participate in team rituals like sprint reviews, retros, and demos

Skills we’re looking for

• Excellent written communication and documentation skills
• Organised, reliable, and proactive
• Familiarity with tools like ClickUp, Notion, and Google Sheets
• Clarity of thought — you should be able to break a vague idea into 3–4 clear steps
• Interest in tech and digital products

Why you'll enjoy working here

• Remote-first and trust-based — we care about outcomes, not hours
• Work-life balance is real — no hustle theatre, just consistent progress
• Direct access to leadership — work closely with the CEO and co-founders every day
• A front-row seat to diverse, impactful products — from AI-powered analytics dashboards to custom CRMs, chatbot-based mobile apps, internal tools that run our operations, and more
• Opportunities to grow — into product management, business ops, or client strategy — wherever you shine
• A learning-first environment — explore new tools, processes, and verticals across industries

Requirements

• 1–3 years in project coordination, ops, or junior PM roles
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, structured environment

If you align with everything we've said, we are interested!
