Job description

At Mesh, our mission is to enable consumers to pay and be paid with any asset. Today, trillions of dollars in tokenized assets exist but remain largely unusable for everyday commerce. Mesh is bridging this gap by making crypto payments reliable, useful, and ubiquitous. We combine a powerful orchestration engine with a seamless consumer app to unlock liquidity for the world. Backed by leading investors like PayPal Ventures, Paradigm, and Galaxy Ventures, we are building the infrastructure for the next era of the global economy. Join us!

Overview

Mesh is looking for a Project Manager to be the operational backbone of our most complex, high‑stakes customer integrations.

For our most strategic customers, we deploy a three‑person leadership pod: a Strategic Account Manager who navigates the client's business, a Product Manager who architects the technical solution, and you — the person who makes sure all of it actually ships.

This is not a note‑taking role. At its core, your mandate is to maintain an airtight, living record of every commitment we've made to our largest customers — and to know, at any moment, exactly where each one stands. You'll own the operational heartbeat of each integration: transforming tangled cross‑functional dependencies into a clear, executable path to launch, and driving relentless accountability for who does what next.

Because we're a fast‑moving startup, we hold everyone on the team to an entrepreneurial standard. We're looking for someone who doesn't just manage work — they actively automate it. You should be building systems, templates, and tooling that give you 10x leverage, so you can operate at the scale of a team of one without anything slipping through the cracks.

If you're the kind of person who stays three steps ahead, thrives in ambiguity, and instinctively reaches for a script or a workflow when something feels manual — this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Drive the Log: You are the ultimate owner of the deployment timeline. You maintain absolute clarity on every internal and external dependency, holding both Mesh and the client’s teams accountable to the schedule.
• Enable Engineering Velocity: You act as the translation layer between project milestones and engineering execution. You take the solutions designed by our Product team and turn them into precise, highly organized tickets, ensuring our developers have exactly what they need to build without distraction.
• Coordinate the Pod: You work in lockstep with the Strategic Account Manager and Product Manager. While they figure out what to build and who to influence, you ensure the actual work gets sequenced, assigned, and delivered on time.
• High Leverage & Automation: You ruthlessly optimize and automate your own operational workflows. You utilize modern tools (AI, Zapier, scripts, advanced Jira automations) to scale your output, minimizing manual administrative work so you can focus on proactively unblocking the team.

Who You Are

• 3+ years of project management experience in a fast‑paced B2B SaaS, fintech, or technical software startup, including experience working with enterprise clients
• Entrepreneurial Drive: You are a self‑starter with a demonstrated history of taking initiative. You thrive in ambiguity and take absolute ownership of your outcomes.
• Relentless Organization: You are a force of operational nature. You obsess over the details, sweat the edge cases, and ensure absolutely nothing slips through the cracks.
• Execution Focus: You take pride in driving a project to completion. You are comfortable running stand‑ups, managing Jira boards, and holding cross‑functional peers accountable to their deadlines.
• Technical Literacy: While you do not need to write code or architect systems, you are highly comfortable working in a technical, API‑first environment and can translate project phases into actionable engineering tasks.

The annual base salary range for this role is $141,000 - $175,000 in San Francisco and New York. The compensation range provided may span multiple career levels and will be narrowed during the interview process based on factors including a candidate’s experience, skills, qualifications, and geographic location. For candidates outside of San Francisco and New York, compensation will be adjusted to reflect the applicable market and location‑based pay band. The base salary range listed excludes commission (if applicable), equity, and benefits. The pay range represents the minimum and maximum target for new‑hire compensation. Actual compensation may vary and may be higher or lower depending on individual circumstances.

Why You’ll Love It Here

At Mesh, you’re not stepping into a typical role—you're joining a rocket ship in mid‑liftoff. You'll tackle complex, meaningful problems that actually move an industry forward, working alongside a sharp, motivated team that moves quickly, collaborates deeply, and expects everyone to operate with ownership. This is the kind of place where you'll see your work ship fast, make real impact, and be able to point to something and say, “I built that.” You'll grow fast, level up your skills, and get a front‑row seat to how a high‑growth company scales from the inside, with competitive comp, solid benefits, and room to stretch your craft all coming standard. If you're energized by building, learning, and shaping something big—this is where you'll want to be.

Employees based in our San Francisco, New York, and Bangalore hubs are expected to work from the office at least 40% of the time (approximately two days per week). This expectation may vary slightly depending on role, team, and business needs. Certain roles that require closer cross‑functional collaboration or operational support may have additional in‑office requirements, which will be discussed during the interview process. Our hybrid approach is designed to balance meaningful in‑person collaboration, team building, and real‑time decision‑making with the flexibility to work remotely. We believe this structure supports strong execution while preserving autonomy and focus time.

How We Care For Our Team

We believe great work happens when people feel valued and supported. That starts with competitive salary and equity that grows as you and the company grow, plus comprehensive health coverage for you and your family. We offer unlimited PTO—and we mean it. Take the time you need to recharge and show up at your best.

We’re invested in your growth with a dedicated budget for courses, conferences, and certifications. Work from wherever you’re most productive with our remote‑friendly approach, and count on having the top‑tier tools and equipment you need to do exceptional work.

Mesh Pay is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, genetic information, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, lawful alien status, national origin, age, marital status, and non‑job related physical or mental disability, or protected veteran status. Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
