Upwork is one of the best places in the world to find great developers — but that’s only half the equation. If you’ve hired offshore talent on Upwork, you already know the story: - You find amazing developers at great rates… and then things slow down. - One quick question takes a full day to answer because of time zones. - Features get built differently than what you envisioned. - And you end up managing chaos instead of progress. The problem isn’t the developers — it’s the missing system between your vision and their execution. That’s exactly what I fix. 🚀 Who I Am I’m Pete Jaworski, one of Upwork’s Top-Rated Product Managers and Scrum Masters, with 10+ years leading distributed teams across 12 time zones. I help founders and startups make offshore development actually work — with structure, visibility, and accountability built into every sprint. 🔧 What I Do I install the operating system your project needs to move fast — without you needing to micromanage: ✅ Translate ideas into developer-ready build plans ✅ Eliminate confusion through structured discovery and requirements ✅ Keep projects moving asynchronously (no more waiting overnight) ✅ Track blockers, sprint velocity, and code commits automatically ✅ Give you clear dashboards showing where your dev dollars go 🧠 My System Product leadership for offshore teams. It bridges every gap between you and your developers — so they stay focused on building while you stay focused on strategy. Results delivered: - 70% faster delivery - 50% less rework - 95% of milestones completed on time 🌍 Who I Help - Founders managing offshore teams on Upwork - Startups building MVPs with remote developers - Small dev agencies needing structure and Scrum oversight - Entrepreneurs tired of “busy projects” that never launch If you’ve already found great developers on Upwork, let’s make sure they actually deliver. I’ll bring the clarity, structure, and leadership that turns your offshore freelancers into a high-performing product team. ➜ 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 & 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: 🔹Agile Product Manager 🔹AI Implementation Specialist 🔹AI Product Development Expert 🔹AI Product Manager 🔹AI Software Development Specialist 🔹AI Technology Specialist 🔹Certified Product Owner 🔹Chief Product Officer 🔹Cross-functional team Leadership 🔹CTO & Project Manager SaaS 🔹Experienced IT Project Manager 🔹Experienced Product Owner 🔹Experienced Software Project Manager 🔹Expert Growth Product Manager 🔹Expert Product Manager 🔹Expert Product Owner 🔹Expert Technical Leader 🔹Fractional CTO 🔹Full-stack development Specialist 🔹Jira Service Management 🔹Lean Startup 🔹Minimum Viable Product 🔹Operations Project Manager 🔹Product Discovery 🔹Product Launch Expert 🔹Product Management Specialist 🔹Product Roadmap 🔹Project Implementation Specialist 🔹Project Management Consultant Expert 🔹Roadmap Planning 🔹SaaS Product Manager 🔹Scrum Master 🔹Senior Full Stack Developer 🔹Senior Project Manager 🔹Senior QA Engineer 🔹Software Architecture & Design 🔹Strategic Product Manager 🔹Technical Product Manager & Developer 🔹Technical Project Manager 🔹Technical Requirement Analysis 🔹Technical Software Development Manager 🔹Technical Support Specialist 🔹Web Development Specialist 🔹QA Testing Specialist . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Let’s discuss how I can help bridge your project gaps.

Companies start looking for a Chief of Staff when the business is growing, but execution isn’t keeping up. You have direction, you have priorities - but turning that into clear plans, ownership, and consistent follow-through is where things break down. That’s where I step in - I work directly with founders and leadership teams to take strategy, and make it real across the business. • Turning direction into clear plans and timelines • Establishing ownership and accountability across teams • Driving cross-functional execution without creating drag • Surfacing risks early and bringing solutions, not just problems I'm most effective when: • Priorities exist, but don’t translate into execution • Initiatives start strong but lose momentum • The founder is the bottleneck for decisions and direction • The business feels harder to run than it should Within the first 30 days: • Priorities stabilize and translate into execution • Ownership is clear across key initiatives • Work moves forward without constant escalation • Leadership has visibility into what’s actually happening My role is simple - bring structure, pace, and follow-through so the business can scale without all the chaos. If that’s the gap you’re trying to close, we should talk.

I help founders and product teams turn messy inputs into clear execution. Interviews become prioritized insights. Ideas become buildable specs. Work moves forward without constant follow ups. Over the past 9 years I have led delivery and product execution for Fortune 500 companies like Vodafone Group and KFC (Yum! Brands Inc), as well as lean startup teams shipping new products with small engineering teams. My edge is simple. I use AI inside the real workflow, not as a side experiment. I use structured prompts to synthesize interviews, draft PRDs, run competitive research, prepare sprint plans, and generate weekly updates that teams can act on immediately. The result is faster decisions and cleaner execution. If you need someone who can step in and run delivery across multiple client engagements without hand holding, that is exactly what I do. HOW I WORK I operate as an execution partner to founders and product leaders. You focus on strategy and client relationships. I turn direction into shipped outcomes. Typical responsibilities I handle: Running customer and stakeholder interviews and converting them into prioritized insights Writing PRDs and feature specs engineers can build from without clarification loops Preparing agendas, notes, and follow ups for weekly client calls Managing delivery across multiple parallel projects Tracking risks, dependencies, and delivery health Driving execution from discovery through release I am comfortable switching between industries quickly because the discipline is the same. Clarify the problem. Define the work. Deliver reliably. AI NATIVE PRODUCT WORKFLOW AI is built into my daily operating system. Examples of how I use it: Interview synthesis I convert raw interview notes into structured insights, themes, and opportunity lists within minutes PRD drafting I generate first pass PRDs and refine them into clear implementation ready specifications Competitive and market research I use AI to scan competitors, summarize positioning, and extract product gaps Delivery reporting I generate weekly delivery updates that highlight risks, progress, and next actions Backlog prioritization I use scoring frameworks supported by AI analysis to rank features and clarify trade offs AI is not a novelty in my workflow. It is how the work gets done.
