Project Manager

About Us

Virallens is a fast-growing, tech-enabled marketing partner that helps businesses grow, scale, and differentiate in a crowded market. We design, build and launch digital products, campaigns and services at speed. Our clients operate across industries and our ambitions span continents. We build solutions, test quickly and scale what works. If you want a high-velocity environment where your work ships and has impact, this is the place to grow.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Project Manager who operates effectively in high-speed environments and takes full ownership of outcomes. You will manage multiple projects across web, mobile, and growth initiatives, turning high-level inputs into clear delivery plans, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring predictable execution. We value relentless resourcefulness, assertive and pragmatic candor, and high agency paired with low ego. You remove blockers rather than simply reporting them, protect team focus through clear prioritization, and lead as a servant leader who takes responsibility for results and gives credit to the team. Prior experience writing production code is a significant advantage because it accelerates planning and improves technical decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Delivery

• Manage multiple projects from initial scope and planning through build, launch, and post-launch, with clear acceptance criteria.
• Define and de-scope to a minimum viable product that delivers rapid, material value; apply strategic planning to anticipate issues before they arise.
• Maintain a robust delivery toolset (for example, Jira or Linear, Notion or Confluence, live dashboards, and RAID logs) with high-quality asynchronous documentation that enables execution without unnecessary meetings.

Stakeholder Management and Communication

• Run lean delivery cadences such as kickoffs, standups, demos, and retrospectives; default to concise, asynchronous updates where appropriate.
• Keep teams and clients aligned through clear weekly status reports covering progress, risks, decisions, and next steps.
• Negotiate trade-offs, escalate thoughtfully, and protect timelines and team focus without surprises.

Delivery Excellence: Quality, Speed, and Risk

• Track and improve on-time delivery, cycle time, deployment frequency, blocker age, scope change, and quality gates.
• Coordinate QA and UAT, own go-live checklists, and drive retrospectives that result in measurable process improvements.
• Propose pragmatic mitigations and contingency plans; identify likely technical roadblocks during design rather than after build begins.

Technical Partnership and Developer Productivity

• Collaborate on API contracts, cutover plans, and release strategies; operate fluently with APIs, Git, CI/CD, and cloud environments.
• Champion automation, trunk-based development, shift-left testing, and reusable application templates to reduce setup time and increase shipping speed.
• Connect delivery priorities to business outcomes such as revenue impact, acquisition, and operational efficiency.

Required Qualifications

• A minimum of 4 years in project or delivery management, preferably in high-growth or startup environments.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and create clarity amid ambiguity.
• Relentless resourcefulness and decisive leadership that proactively unblocks work and protects team focus.
• Exceptional asynchronous communication; specifications, user stories, and notes that enable execution without clarification meetings.
• Excellent written and verbal communication with strong stakeholder management across engineering, design, product, and go-to-market teams.
• Business and financial acumen; the ability to connect tasks to outcomes and weigh cost of delay against feature value.
• Hands-on proficiency with Jira or Linear, Notion or Confluence, Google Workspace, and Slack; solid understanding of Agile practices (Scrum or Kanban).
• Technical literacy across web and mobile fundamentals, APIs, Git and GitHub workflows, CI/CD, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Vercel, or Heroku.

Preferred Qualifications

• Former software developer experience (strongly preferred). Systems thinking, early identification of architectural risks, and credibility with engineers.
• Process architect mindset. Ability to design lightweight systems that remove waste, use asynchronous rituals appropriately, and elevate execution quality.
• Focus on developer velocity. Obsession with cycle time, deployment frequency, and blocker age, with a track record of partnering with engineering to improve these metrics.
• Strategic technical fluency across AI and martech. Familiarity with OpenAI, LangChain, vector databases, GA4, GTM, and SEO to align technical delivery with growth objectives.
• Relevant certifications such as PMP, CSM, or PRINCE2, or delivery experience across SaaS, cloud, or AI products.



Benefits and Culture

• Build meaningful products that reach users quickly.
• High trust and high ownership with autonomy to lead and ship.
• Lean, fast-moving environment with minimal overhead.
• Growth in scope, leadership, and impact as the company scales.
• A collaborative culture that values both performance and professionalism.
