ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager who can drive execution across engineering, product, and cross-functional teams - particularly within mobile application development (iOS and Android). This role sits at the intersection of technical understanding and operational excellence, ensuring projects move quickly, priorities stay aligned, and teams are consistently delivering.

We are at an exciting time with the rise of AI technologies that can really help redefine what traditional project management looks like. We are looking for a practical innovator using these technologies to help us transform how communication and alignment between team members work in the future.

You’ll play a key role in bringing structure, clarity, and accountability to complex initiatives. This is a highly hands-on role where you are expected to own delivery, enforce organization, and drive momentum across teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own end-to-end project planning, execution, and delivery across technical initiatives.
• Partner closely with engineering and product teams to define scope, timelines, and deliverables.
• Drive execution across mobile application development efforts (iOS and Android).
• Ensure strong organization, prioritization, and delivery discipline across all active projects.
• Track progress against goals, proactively identifying risks, blockers, and dependencies.
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment across engineering, product, design, and other stakeholders.
• Run key agile rituals including standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and reviews.
• Leverage tools like Linear, Jira, or similar to manage workflows and maintain visibility.
• Translate technical concepts into clear updates for non-technical stakeholders.
• Continuously improve project management processes, tools, and team efficiency.
• Act as a force multiplier for engineering teams by removing friction and enabling focus.
