PM- Project Manager (Mid - level)

Summary The Project Manager is responsible for managing product delivery with a structured focus on Delivery & Release Management (50%), Product Execution Support (30%), and Process Building (20%). A critical part of this role is to design development workflows from the ground up, establish performance metrics (aligning with management's AI-driven initiatives), and apply tactful change management to guide a historically unstructured team toward high operational efficiency without compromising morale.
Role Focus:
● 50% Delivery & Release Management (Part A & B): Planning, tracking, cross-functional coordination, risk management, and release activities.
● 30% Product Execution Support (Part C): Requirement clarification, workflow analysis, PRD review, and UAT/go-live readiness.
● 20% Process Building & Performance Tracking (Part D): Building Agile/Scrum workflows from scratch, defining metrics, tool standardization, and driving change management gracefully.
Key Responsibilities
A. Delivery Planning & Coordination
● Build realistic delivery plans, break down work into sprints/milestones, and align effort estimates, dependencies, and clear ownership for each feature.
● Coordinate tasks across Engineering (Backend, Mobile, QA), Product/BA, and Design teams to ensure smooth progress and proactively unblock delivery hurdles.
● Facilitate sprint ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Reviews, Retrospectives) and systematically track follow-up action items.
B. Tracking, Release & Risk Management (A & B account for 50%)
● Track actual progress against the delivery plan, sprint goals, milestones, and release scope.
● Identify, communicate, and mitigate delivery risks/issues early; escalate blockers with actionable solutions and clear ownership.
● Coordinate release activities and ensure timelines, feature scope, quality standards, deployment readiness, and rollout communication are fully aligned.
C. Product Execution Support (30%)
● Clarify requirements with PO/PM and business stakeholders, ensuring scope, acceptance criteria, and expected outcomes are crystal clear before development starts.
● Analyze business workflows and user journeys to support feasible implementation and identify technical gaps or edge cases.
● Review PRDs and requirement specifications for completeness, consistency, and readiness for sprint planning.
● Coordinate UAT preparation, track feedback/defects, and validate go-live readiness.
D. Process Building & Performance Tracking (20%)
● Process from Scratch: Act as a patient and strategic facilitator: spend the initial months observing the current technical culture before designing and rolling out tailored Agile/Scrum workflows.
● Change Management: Introduce new processes and metrics gradually and tactfully to avoid friction or pushback from a historically unstructured team environment.
● Data-driven Tracking: Define and track key team productivity metrics (e.g., sprint velocity, cycle time) to align with leadership's data-driven and AI-supported performance evaluation initiatives.
● Tool Standardization: Drive the adoption of Jira, Notion, Git, etc., to ensure transparent task management and individual performance visibility.
Scope & Authority
● Own and manage the end-to-end delivery lifecycle of products under development.
● Have the authority to propose and implement necessary adjustments to workflows, timelines, or resource allocations to ensure release quality.
● Collaborate closely with POM/Product and effectively partner with Engineering Leads (managing the process while respecting their technical architecture decisions).
Requirements
Experience & Hard Skills
● 3-5 years of experience as a Project Manager / Scrum Master in a software development environment.
● Solid hands-on experience working directly with Engineering teams (Backend, Mobile, QA).
● Strong, practical understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies with a proven track record of establishing development workflows from scratch.
● Balanced Technical Mindset: Solid understanding of technical workflows (APIs, system flow, architecture basics) to facilitate discussions effectively. Must have a Process/Business-first mindset and be able to collaborate smoothly with Tech Leads without overstepping into technical design decisions.
● Proficiency in project planning, risk management, PRD review, and configuring project management tools (Jira, Notion).
Key Soft Skills & Persona
● High EQ, Empathy & Diplomacy: Ability to introduce structure, accountability, and metrics tactfully without making team members feel micromanaged or defensive.
● Strong Change Management: Proven ability to influence without formal authority and guide a team through cultural and operational transitions.
● Clear and effective communication, acting as an excellent bridge-builder between Management's performance expectations and the Dev team's current mindset.
● Ability to stay composed, structured, and solutions-oriented under tight deadlines.
