The role combines Agile delivery, technical project coordination, documentation, and operational follow-through. You’ll work in an international environment alongside internal teams, vendors, and contractors. This is an opportunity to have a direct impact on how a technology product moves from planning through release.

• Proactively identify delivery risks and ???

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience as a Technical Project Manager, Delivery Manager, Project Manager, or Product Operations Manager within a technology product company.
• Experience working directly within a product or engineering organization, rather than exclusively in an agency or administrative environment.
• Hands-on experience running Agile/Scrum processes and managing sprint execution.
• Experience taking ownership of projects or products from initial scoping through release.
• Strong ability to write requirements, user scenarios, acceptance criteria, and development or design tasks.
• Experience managing multiple parallel workstreams, dependencies, and external stakeholders.
• Experience working with vendors, contractors, or operational teams.
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle, from requirements and design through testing and release.
• Basic understanding of how hardware, firmware, mobile, and backend components interact.
• Ability to turn complex or loosely defined problems into structured, actionable tasks.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence running meetings and driving decisions to completion.
• Self-driven and proactive approach, with a willingness to personally resolve organizational and delivery challenges.
• Upper-Intermediate English or above, with the ability to collaborate effectively with international teams, vendors, and contractors.
• Experience using project and documentation tools such as Jira, Linear, Notion, or Confluence.
• Experience with hardware, IoT, or embedded products is a plus.
• A background in Business/System Analysis, QA, or Software Engineering, combined with experience coordinating development and delivery, is a plus.
• Experience with roadmap tools, process diagrams, or workflow-mapping systems is a plus.

Benefits:

• Choice of working format: office, hybrid, or fully remote from anywhere in the world.
• Necessary equipment provided to support a comfortable and effective working environment.
• Benefits including VHI, corporate sports activities, foreign language courses, and therapy sessions.
