Job description

Help us redefine how platforms get built. Since 2015, Commutatus has helped organisations across 20+ industries take ideas from concept to launch — fast, thoughtfully, and with a strong sense of ownership.

About Commutatus

We're a digital product studio building custom platforms — CRMs, LMS, mobile apps, internal tools, analytics, and AI workflows — for clients like AIESEC and Rajasthan Royals. Our in-house framework, Catalyst, lets us ship scalable platforms in days, not months.

About the role

As a Project Manager, you'll drive software projects from planning to delivery — managing clients, teams, scope, timelines, budgets, risks, and quality. You may not always have a team formally reporting to you, but you'll lead through clarity, communication, follow-up, and accountability, making sure everyone knows what needs to happen, why it matters, and what moves next.

We're looking for a Project Manager who can bring clarity to complex projects, work confidently with clients and teams, and help us deliver great products without chaos.

Confident in managing clients and internal teams

Strong documentation and task breakdown skills

Comfortable with internal tools, task management systems, Google Sheets, Notion, or similar platforms

Able to navigate ambiguity and changing priorities

Able to balance scope, timelines, quality, and budgets

What you'll get

You'll work closely with leadership

You'll get direct exposure to founders, senior leaders, and decision-makers, and see how product, delivery, clients, and business decisions come together.

You'll work on meaningful products

You'll learn how platforms are built end-to-end

You'll be involved from requirement discovery and planning to execution, testing, release, and client handover.

You'll move fast, but thoughtfully

We like building quickly, but not at the cost of quality, user value, or delivery discipline.

You'll be trusted to take ownership

We're a lean team with few layers. People are trusted to take responsibility, solve problems, and move things forward.

You'll have room to grow

This role can grow into delivery leadership, product management, client strategy, business operations, or account ownership, depending on where you shine.

You'll be heard

If you see a better way, we're all ears. We're always looking to improve how we work and are happy to support internal improvement projects that carry weight.
