Job Description

Hi Associate,

Greetings for the day,

We have a position as a Project Manager role for Remote. Please find the job description below for this position.

Role: Project Manager (R&D)

Location: Remote

Duration: 24 Months

THE ROLE AT A GLANCE

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our R&D organization, driving the planning, execution, and delivery of complex product and engineering initiatives. This role requires a product-minded PM who has operated inside a strong product company someone comfortable managing cross-functional delivery across Product, Engineering, Design, and QA, while keeping pace with a fast-moving, iterative R&D environment.

This is not a traditional PMO/services PM role. We are looking for someone who understands product development lifecycles and can manage delivery without slowing down innovation.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

  • Own end-to-end planning and execution of R&D product initiatives, from scoping through release.
  • Partner with Product Management and Engineering leads to define scope, timelines, and resourcing.
  • Facilitate sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and other Agile ceremonies.
  • Track and communicate project status, risks, dependencies, and blockers to stakeholders and leadership.
  • Manage cross-functional dependencies across Product, Engineering, Design, QA, and DevOps.
  • Drive release planning and coordinate go-live/launch readiness activities.
  • Proactively identify and mitigate project risks and schedule slippage.
  • Maintain project documentation, roadmaps, and delivery plans.
  • Support resource planning and capacity management across R&D teams.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement within delivery teams.

WHAT YOU BRING

8-10 years of Project Management experience, with meaningful tenure inside strong product companies not primarily IT services or systems-integration organizations delivering complex software/product initiatives in an Agile R&D environment. Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional delivery, balance speed with quality, and partner directly with Product Management and Engineering leadership.

Skill Area

What We're Looking For

Agile/Scrum Delivery

Risk & Issue Management

Proactive identification, mitigation, and escalation of project risks

Stakeholder Communication

Clear, concise status reporting to engineering and executive stakeholders

Release Management

Product Development Lifecycle

Understanding of how product companies plan, build, and ship software

Tools

Driving accountability and alignment across distributed, cross-functional teams

SOFT SKILLS

  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills.
  • Comfortable managing ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-paced R&D setting.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management across technical and leadership audiences.
  • Calm, solutions-oriented approach under pressure.
  • Collaborative leadership style that earns trust across Product and Engineering teams.

PREFERRED / ADDED ADVANTAGE

  • PMP, CSM, or SAFe certification.
  • Prior experience at a recognized product company (B2B SaaS, platform, or consumer product organization).
  • Experience managing delivery for platform, API, or infrastructure products.
  • Exposure to OKRs and product-metrics-driven planning.
  • Experience managing distributed/offshore-onshore engineering teams.

CANDIDATE EXPECTATIONS

  • Must come from a strong product company background candidates whose experience is primarily IT services, staffing, or systems integration will not be a fit for this role.
  • Must demonstrate ownership of delivery outcomes, not just process facilitation.
  • Must be comfortable operating directly with Product Management and Engineering leadership in a fast-paced R&D setting.

Thanks & Regards
