We work with mid-to-large enterprises across sectors.

The Role
We're looking for a Project Manager who can own delivery end-to-end — from sprint planning to stakeholder updates — without needing hand-holding. You'll work directly with our founding team, bridging product, engineering, and client commitments.

Responsibilities

• Own project delivery end-to-end — from requirement lock to go-live — across product builds and client engagements

• Gather, document, and baseline requirements before development begins; manage scope changes with a clear change request process

• Run sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives with the tech team; keep Agile ceremonies tight and purposeful

• Track project health — timelines, milestones, resource utilization, and budget — and flag risks before they become incidents

• Coordinate with our external development partner on deliverables, review outputs against agreed specs, and hold them accountable to timelines

• Interface directly with enterprise clients on delivery status, expectation-setting, and escalation resolution — you're the face of execution

• Own UAT coordination, release readiness checks, and go-live sign-offs in partnership with the engineering team

• Prepare and present weekly project health reports to the founding team — clear, concise, no sugar-coating

• Maintain structured documentation across all projects — SOWs, project plans, RAID logs, meeting notes, and status trackers

• Step in as the first line of resolution when delivery goes off-track — internally or externally

What We're Looking For

• 3–4 years of hands-on PM experience in a software/SaaS environment

• Strong command of tools like Jira, Notion, or equivalent

• Solid understanding of Agile/Scrum methodology — not just the theory

• Clear communicator — written and verbal

• Someone who takes ownership

• Bonus: experience working in a startup or early-stage product company

What's Not a Fit

• PMs who manage spreadsheets but not people

• Anyone who needs a fully defined process before they can start

• Candidates who confuse activity with output

What You Get

• Direct exposure to a founder-led AI startup

• Flat hierarchy where your decisions will actually matter

• Competitive salary: ₹8–12 LPA based on fit

• Front-row seat to building a category-defining product in HR Tech
