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 | Sprint planning, release planning, and backlog and capacity management |
Cross-Functional Program Management | Coordinating Product, Engineering, Design, and QA dependencies |
Risk & Issue Management | Proactive identification, mitigation, and escalation of project risks |
Stakeholder Communication | Clear, concise status reporting to engineering and executive stakeholders |
Release Management | Go-live coordination, launch readiness, and post-release tracking |
Product Development Lifecycle | Understanding of how product companies plan, build, and ship software |
Tools | JIRA, Confluence, Asana/Monday, roadmap tools (Aha! Product board), and Azure DevOps |
Leadership | 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
