01
Own engagements end to end
Run client projects from kickoff to delivery on Basecamp. Define scope, set milestones, and keep the project moving without surprises on either the client or the engineering side.
Kickoff to delivery on Basecamp.
Careers Project Manager
Run client engagements end to end.
Full-time role based in our Lucknow office. You own client engagements from kickoff to delivery: Basecamp for project management, weekly written status, scoped 30-minute calls, and dev access from day one. You sit between client expectations and engineering capacity, and keep both honest.
Full-time · Lucknow, India · 2-4 years experience
We are looking for a project manager who can hold a client engagement together without drama: clear scope, written updates, realistic timelines, and an engineering team that always knows what is next. We run async and in writing, so the audit trail is searchable years later.
You will coordinate between customers and engineers across multiple time zones. The work is part planning, part communication, and part keeping scope honest so projects ship on time.
Responsibilities
What you will do day to day.
Four areas of the work. The split shifts week to week depending on what is in flight, but all four are part of the role.
02
Written weekly status
Send a clear written status every week: what shipped, what is next, what is blocked. No status-meeting theatre. The update stands on its own and stays searchable later.
A written status every week.
03
Run scoped calls
Keep calls to a focused 30 minutes with an agenda and a written follow-up. Most decisions happen async; calls are for the ones that genuinely need a conversation.
30-minute calls, written follow-up.
04
Keep scope and capacity honest
Sit between client expectations and engineering capacity. Flag scope creep early, renegotiate timelines before they slip, and protect the team from thrash.
Scope and timelines, kept honest.
Requirements
What we need you to bring.
Four hard requirements. Without these the role will not be a fit. With them, we want to talk.
01
Project management experience
You have run client or product projects end to end, ideally in a software or agency setting. You know how to scope, schedule, and keep a project on track when reality intrudes.
End-to-end PM experience required.
02
Strong written communication
You write clear, concise updates and briefs in English. Our weekly status and most decisions are written, so writing is the core skill here, not a side one.
Writing is the core skill.
03
Comfortable with a dev workflow
You understand how software gets built: branches, pull requests, releases, and why a small change is sometimes hard. You do not need to code, but you should speak the language.
Fluent in how software ships.
04
Calm under competing demands
You juggle multiple engagements across time zones without dropping threads, and you keep both clients and engineers informed at the same time.
Composed across many threads.
Nice to have
Things that move you to the top of the stack.
Not required, but if you have any of these, mention them in the cover letter.
01
WordPress ecosystem knowledge
You understand WordPress, plugins, and themes well enough to scope work and talk to clients without a translator in the room.
WordPress literacy.
02
Basecamp or similar
You have run projects in Basecamp, or a comparable async-first tool, and you genuinely prefer written over real-time coordination.
Async-first tooling.
03
Pre-sales and scoping
You have shaped proposals or scoped statements of work. Useful for turning a fresh enquiry into a clear, deliverable project.
Proposal and SOW experience.
