Project Manager

Job Description

Project Manager Executive Right Hand to Tel K. Ganesan Location: Remote Type: Full-Time Summary Join forces with Tel K. Ganesan – a bold, high-energy serial entrepreneur reshaping industries from technology and engineering to film, music, wellness, and beauty. We are seeking a visionary Project Manager to work directly with Tel across all his ventures (Kyyba Inc., Kyyba Films, Kyyba Music, Kyyba Wellness, and Saori) and turn ambitious ideas into reality. In this pivotal role, you’ll operate at the heart of a multi-industry enterprise, translating Tel’s visionary goals into actionable plans and driving complex projects to the finish line. If you’re an entrepreneurial, ultra-organized who thrives in a fast-paced environment, this is your front-row seat to an extraordinary entrepreneurial journey. The ideal candidate is driven, and relentless about execution – a sharp, modern executive-in-training who can match Tel’s passion and momentum every step of the way. Key Responsibilities Lead Cross-Functional Projects: Orchestrate and manage projects across diverse industries – one week you might be coordinating a tech product launch at Kyyba Inc., the next shepherding a film production at Kyyba Films or a music release at Kyyba Music, followed by a wellness initiative or beauty product rollout. You ensure all projects are delivered on time, within scope and budget, and aligned with Tel’s high standards. Coordinate Teams & Stakeholders: Unite engineers, creatives, producers, marketers, and external partners toward common goals. Break down silos across tech, entertainment, wellness, and beauty teams to foster collaboration and keep everyone moving in the same direction . Serve as the primary liaison between Tel’s executive vision and on-the-ground execution. Project Planning & Execution: Develop detailed project roadmaps, timelines, and budgets for multiple concurrent initiatives. Anticipate obstacles, proactively manage risks, and troubleshoot issues in real time to maintain relentless forward progress. No detail escapes your notice , and no blocker stays unsolved – you find a way to keep momentum high. Drive Results to Completion: Take ownership of outcomes. Monitor and report on project milestones, KPIs, and deliverables across all ventures. You hold teams accountable, navigate the unexpected with calm urgency , and ensure that each venture’s bold ideas translate into tangible, successful results. Support Strategy & Business Development: Work side by side with Tel during strategy sessions and business development pursuits. While Tel charts the high-level vision, you’ll support him by translating strategic ideas into executable project plans, conducting research or follow-ups as needed, and ensuring new initiatives get off the ground smoothly. (Note: You are not tasked with creating strategy, but you are crucial in implementing it.) Executive Communication: Prepare polished updates, summaries, and presentations for Tel and other stakeholders. Communicate project statuses, challenges, and achievements clearly and compellingly. Your professional execution will reflect Tel’s modern executive style – whether in board meetings, investor calls, or on a film set, you represent the office of Tel Ganesan with charisma, confidence, and credibility through relentless execution. Operational Excellence: Handle the day-to-day operational coordination that keeps Tel’s world running seamlessly. From ensuring meeting action items are executed, to aligning Tel’s schedule with project priorities, you act as the operational hub connecting Tel’s busy agenda with the teams executing on it. You bring order to chaos, enabling Tel to focus on vision and growth while you handle the critical execution details. Qualifications 5+ years of proven project management experience driving complex projects to completion (preferably in fast-paced or entrepreneurial environments). You have a track record of taking big ideas across the finish line, and you can provide examples of projects you’ve led successfully from inception through delivery. Entrepreneurial mindset: A self-starter who thrives on variety and autonomy . You think on your feet, welcome new challenges, and adapt quickly to different industries. Experience managing projects in multiple sectors (tech, media/entertainment, healthcare/wellness, consumer products, etc.) is a strong plus – you’re excited to learn the nuances of each business as you go. Ultra-Organized & Driven: You are a hyper-organized operator who never lets anything slip through the cracks. Able to juggle multiple workstreams across different companies without dropping the ball, you excel at prioritization, time management, and keeping chaos at bay. Your work style is proactive, detail-oriented , and relentlessly results-driven. Outstanding communication skills: Sharp, clear, and persuasive in both written and verbal communication. You can distill complex projects into clear action plans and status updates. You’re confident presenting to leadership and can rally diverse teams around a common goal. Bilingual or cross-cultural communication skills are a bonus given our global reach. Charisma & Executive Presence: A modern, polished professional who can represent Tel and the Kyyba brand to high-profile partners, clients, and teams. You carry yourself with confidence and diplomacy, able to build trust and enthusiasm with everyone from software developers and creative artists to investors and corporate executives. (You know how to “read the room” and influence it.) Cross-Functional Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead and motivate interdisciplinary teams. You understand how to work with creative personalities as well as technical experts, adapting your approach to get the best out of each person. You’re equally comfortable discussing software sprints, reviewing film production schedules, or planning a marketing campaign – and you respect the expertise each domain brings. Tech-Savvy & Analytical: Proficient with modern project management tools and collaborative platforms (e.g. Asana, Trello, Slack, Google Workspace, etc.), and quick to learn new software. You use data and metrics to track progress and inform decisions. Budgeting, scheduling, and risk management are second nature to you. High-Energy & Resilient: You match Tel’s high-octane pace with your own drive and enthusiasm. No matter how intense or ambiguous a situation, you remain cool under pressure , solution-focused, and positive. Setbacks don’t faze you – you find creative alternatives and push forward. Integrity & Ownership: You are trustworthy, handle confidential information with discretion, and take full ownership of your responsibilities. When you commit to a result, you do what it takes to deliver. You hold yourself and others to the highest standards of performance and ethics. (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience preferred. PMP/Agile certification or an MBA is a plus, but proven hustle and results matter most.) Growth Path: This role comes with significant leadership upside for a superstar performer. You will begin as Tel Ganesan’s operational right hand – learning the ins and outs of each venture and proving your ability to deliver results. As you excel, expect to take on greater authority and bigger initiatives. Tel’s vision is to find a partner who can eventually scale into a Chief Operating Officer-type position across his enterprises. In other words, if you step up and consistently knock projects out of the park, you’ll earn the opportunity to evolve from Project Manager to an executive leader who helps run the whole show. This is not just a job; it’s a launching pad. For the driven individual, you’ll be on a fast track – gaining a 360-degree view of multiple businesses, making impactful decisions, and growing alongside a visionary entrepreneur. If you’re ready to build an empire shoulder-to-shoulder with a powerhouse founder, this is your chance to shine and create a legacy of your own.
