WHAT YOULL ACTUALLY DO

Be the PMs Right Hand

• Support the Project Manager in planning, tracking, and coordinating Agile tech projects
• Help keep projects organized, visible, and moving forward
  

Own Jira (Not Just Click Buttons)

• Create and manage Jira tickets (stories, tasks, bugs)
• Maintain boards, workflows, and sprint views
• Keep tickets clean, updated, and meaningful
  

If youve only used Jira to “move tickets,” this role is not a fit.

• Follow up with developers and stakeholders to ensure clarity and progress
  

Requirements & Communication

• Ask smart questions when things are unclear — guessing is not acceptable
  

Learn Fast, Grow Fast

• Absorb how projects run end-to-end
• Take feedback seriously and improve quickly
• Build real PM skills with the goal of stepping into a PM role
  

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Experience

• 1–2+ years in project support, operations, admin, or tech-adjacent roles
• Experience in a startup or fast-paced environment is a strong plus
  

Jira (Non-Negotiable)

• Basic to Intermediate Jira knowledge
• Comfortable:
  
• Creating tickets from scratch
• Understanding workflows
• Managing boards and sprints
  
• No certification needed — we care about real usage
  

Agile Understanding

• Familiar with Agile/Scrum ceremonies
• Understands how software teams work together
  

Mindset

• Wants to grow into a Project Manager (not “maybe someday”)
• Proactive, organized, and detail-oriented
• Fast learner who thrives during training
  

WHAT YOU GET

• Full-time, permanent role in a growing tech company
• Real PM exposure (not fake “assistant” work)
• Training, mentorship, and a clear path to Project Manager
• Startup environment where your work actually matters
