Project Manager

Designation: Project Manager

Location: Bangalore (Hybrid)

Reports to: Co-Founder & CBO

About the Role

We are looking for a driven and detail-oriented Project Manager to lead the execution of high-impact digital product initiatives for our clients. This is a high-ownership role that demands end-to-end accountability — from scoping and planning to execution and delivery. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure projects are delivered on time, with high quality and measurable business outcomes. If you're someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, brings structure to ambiguity, and leads with clarity and data, we’d love to connect.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the single point of accountability for end-to-end project execution — ensuring on-time, high-quality, and profitable delivery of digital product solutions across strategy, design, and development.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams (design, engineering, research) and client stakeholders to translate project objectives into actionable plans with clear timelines, milestones, and deliverables.
• Define and manage project scope, resourcing, dependencies, budgets, and risks — proactively identifying and mitigating potential blockers.
• Bring clarity and structure to execution by setting up robust documentation, operating rhythms, and tracking mechanisms; ensure timely communication of progress, challenges, and escalations to leadership and clients.
• Drive project governance through weekly health reviews, accurate status reports, and rigorous issue/risk tracking with defined accountability.
• Own the quality of delivery — ensure alignment of deliverables with project goals, client expectations, and internal benchmarks for innovation and excellence.
• Make data work for you — use structured data and reporting to surface insights, enable decision-making, and identify areas of improvement.
• Lead with influence, not authority — foster alignment and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment.
• Embrace a problem-solving mindset — proactively drive solutions to cross-functional execution challenges, and be comfortable navigating trade-offs.
• Contribute to internal IP and process improvements that enhance delivery maturity and scalability across projects.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of experience in project management, with a proven track record of driving end-to-end execution of complex digital or technology projects.
• Prior experience in a service-based or consulting environment, managing external client stakeholders and internal cross-functional teams.
• Strong understanding of digital product development lifecycle — from strategy to design to engineering execution.
• Demonstrated ability to manage project scope, budgets, timelines, and risks with a high sense of ownership and accountability.
• Proficiency in project management tools such as Jira, Asana, Trello, or ClickUp; comfort with setting up and customizing workflows, reports, and dashboards.
• Strong analytical mindset — ability to work with data, identify trends, generate insights, and support decision-making through structured reporting.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — capable of simplifying complex ideas, aligning diverse stakeholders, and presenting with clarity to clients and leadership.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, manage competing priorities, and stay composed under pressure.
• Hands-on, detail-oriented, and structured — someone who can bring method to chaos and drive clarity in ambiguity.
• A natural collaborator and influencer — able to build trust, motivate teams, and drive alignment without direct authority.

Good to have:

• Experience in managing digital transformation, innovation-led, or customer experience focused projects.
• Exposure to product strategy, UX research, or agile software development practices.
• Certification in PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile methodologies is a plus, but not mandatory.
