Technical Project Manager (Remote – Startup Environment)

Location: Remote
Type: Full-Time (Flexible Hours) (EU Work Hours)

About the Company

We are a fast-growing, early-stage software development agency working with startups and high-growth companies across Europe and the UAE.

Our model blends traditional client services with a venture-style approach, where we occasionally take equity in promising startups. We operate with a globally distributed team (primarily engineering talent in India) and are focused on delivering high-quality software solutions at competitive costs.

As we scale, we are looking for a Technical Project Manager to act as the operational bridge between clients and our engineering teams — ensuring clarity, accountability, and execution across all projects.

The Role

This is a hands-on Technical Project Manager role focused on owning the delivery lifecycle across multiple software development projects.

You will be responsible for translating client requirements into clear execution plans, managing daily communication with developers, and maintaining strong client relationships through structured updates and accountability.

This role is critical to the company’s growth — you will effectively act as the right hand to the founder in running project delivery, enabling leadership to focus on scaling the business.

Key Responsibilities

1. Project Scoping & Planning

Analyze client scopes of work and technical requirements
Translate requirements into clear deliverables, timelines, and resource needs
Answer core client questions:
- What will this cost?

2. Team Coordination (Daily Execution)

Manage day-to-day communication with engineering teams (frontend, backend, full-stack)
Run daily check-ins to track progress, unblock issues, and ensure accountability
Ensure tasks are clearly defined and executed on time

3. Client Communication

Lead weekly client update calls per project
Clearly communicate:
- Progress from the previous week
- Upcoming deliverables
- Required client inputs (design, feedback, approvals)
Act as the primary point of contact between client and technical team

4. Delivery Oversight

Monitor timelines and proactively address delays or risks
Ensure quality and alignment with client expectations
Maintain visibility across multiple concurrent projects

5. Process & Structure

Bring structure to a fast-moving, startup environment
Improve communication flows between distributed teams
Implement lightweight systems to improve efficiency without slowing execution
