Summary

We are a growing software development company looking for an experienced, honest, and reliable Project Manager to join our team on a long-term basis.

We are looking for someone who can be client-facing, confident in meetings, organized with follow-ups, and capable of helping us build stronger relationships with our clients. The right person should be able to understand client needs, clarify requirements, lead discussions when needed, and make sure the development team and the client stay aligned. Because we are a software development company, experience working with software teams or technical projects is highly preferred. You do not need to be a developer, but you should be comfortable discussing websites, mobile apps, software platforms, AI projects, CRM systems, automation, or similar technical work with both clients and developers. We are looking for someone who is honest, hard-working, responsive, and serious about growing with us. Communication is very important to us, so we need someone who replies quickly, gives clear updates, follows through on commitments, and takes responsibility for their work.

As our workload grows and we build trust together, there is a strong possibility of expanding into a full-time role. We are not looking for someone who is only interested in a short-term project. We are looking for someone who can work with us for at least one year or longer and become an important part of our company’s growth. To apply, please share your project management experience, your experience working directly with clients, and any experience you have managing software development projects. Important: Please include a 2–3 minute Loom video introducing yourself and briefly explaining your previous project management experience, client-facing experience, and any software development project experience you have.
