Middle Project Manager

Middle Project Manager (Remote)

Location: Remote (Work Hours: 10am - 6pm EST)
Office HQ: New York City, NY

About Us

We are a fast-growing technology company based in New York City, with a global team of passionate individuals. Our mission is to build innovative digital products that delight our customers and drive business growth. We embrace the flexibility of remote work while maintaining a highly collaborative and supportive culture.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Technical Project Manager / Product Operations Manager to bring structure to a fast-moving portfolio of web, SaaS, and SEO projects. You’ll manage a small remote team of developers, run sprints, QA delivered work, and turn the founder’s high-level ideas into clear, prioritized, execution-ready tasks.

This is not a senior engineering role - you won’t be writing production code. But you’ll need enough fluency in websites, dashboards, landing pages, CMS/static sites, bugs, and QA to communicate precisely with developers and to judge whether delivered work actually meets the requirement.

Your core mandate: make sure developers always know what to build, why it matters, and what “done” means - so that nothing ships broken and the founder spends less time on day-to-day coordination.

What You’ll Do

Roadmap & Planning

• Translate founder ideas, notes, and business goals into a clear, prioritized roadmap.
• Break large initiatives into milestones, epics, and sprint-ready tasks across multiple projects.
• Maintain a prioritized backlog and surface unclear requirements before work is assigned.
• Keep the founder informed on progress, blockers, and decisions needed.

Sprint Management

• Plan weekly or biweekly sprints and assign work by skill, priority, and capacity.
• Write clear tasks - descriptions, links, screenshots, acceptance criteria, and due dates - in Trello, Jira, or ClickUp.
• Run async or live check-ins and track progress, blockers, and overdue work.

QA & Acceptance Testing

• Review and test completed work - landing pages, dashboards, forms, redirects, mobile layouts, basic SEO tags, and user flows - before it’s marked done.
• Compare delivered work against the original requirement and reject incomplete work with specific notes.
• Write clear bug reports (reproduction steps, expected vs. actual result, screenshots, device/browser, priority) and maintain reusable QA checklists.

Developer Coordination

• Communicate requirements clearly and confirm understanding before work begins.
• Follow up on blockers without micromanaging, and coordinate handoffs across frontend, backend, design, SEO, and content.
• Track performance signals such as missed deadlines, repeated bugs, and unclear updates.

Product & Website Operations

• Coordinate landing page and SEO page builds from approved plans.
• QA content placement, meta titles and descriptions, H1s, links, forms, and tracking requirements.
• Keep implementation aligned with business goals across translation, SaaS, and marketing web properties.

Reporting

• Submit short daily updates: what was completed, what’s blocked, what needs review, and what’s planned next.
• Submit a weekly report covering completed, in-progress, and blocked tasks, QA failures, bugs found, developer performance concerns, upcoming priorities, decisions needed from the founder, and risks to deadlines or launches.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience managing remote developers or technical teams.
• Strong written English and the ability to communicate directly without creating confusion.
• Ability to convert vague business ideas into structured tasks with clear acceptance criteria.
• A working understanding of web development workflows - frontend, backend, dashboards, landing pages, forms, bugs, browser testing, and QA.
• Hands-on experience with Trello, Jira, ClickUp, or similar project-management tools.
• Strong attention to detail when testing and accepting completed work.
• Reliable availability during U.S. Eastern Time overlap.

Nice to Have

• Background in technical project management, product operations, web agency PM, or SaaS coordination.
• Experience managing distributed teams (Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, or similar).
• Experience working with founders or CEOs who give high-level direction.
• Familiarity with GitHub, Slack, Google Docs, Figma, WordPress, Astro/static sites, or Laravel dashboards.
• Hands-on QA testing or SEO landing page implementation experience.

What Success Looks Like

• Developers always have clear, prioritized tasks and rarely sit on vague or low-priority work.
• More tasks ship on time, with fewer bugs reaching production.
• Faster QA turnaround and more predictable sprints.
• Fewer founder interruptions for basic clarification.
• A visible weekly roadmap, with fewer forgotten or unfinished initiatives.

Scope of the Role

To set clear expectations, this position does not include: writing code as a primary duty, acting as CTO or holding unilateral technical authority, phone or walk-in customer support, routine support tickets, translation project delivery, or major budget and hiring decisions without approval.
