Job Summary:

We're looking for a high-performing Technical Project Manager with strong project management skills—someone who blends emotional intelligence, sharp organization, and technical fluency to lead client relationships end-to-end. You'll actively listen, own client issues, manage delivery timelines, and keep stakeholders aligned.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments and brings both structure and warmth to every client touchpoint.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for client accounts—owning relationships, managing expectations, and proactively identifying needs.

• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable business value for stakeholders at all levels.

• Lead project delivery from kickoff to completion: track timelines, manage deliverables, send timely updates, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

• Actively problem-solve client issues—dig into root causes, identify workarounds, and escalate only when deep technical input is truly needed.

• Manage competing priorities across multiple accounts while maintaining a calm, solutions-focused presence under pressure.

• Facilitate regular client meetings, retrospectives, and check-ins to foster trust, gather feedback, and adapt delivery plans as needed.

• Maintain clear, detailed documentation of client conversations, action items, and evolving requirements.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and design teams—serving as a filter and force multiplier for internal team productivity.

• Protect internal bandwidth by managing client needs diplomatically and de-escalating where necessary.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• 5+ years of client-facing experience in relationship management, account leadership, or project delivery roles—preferably with experience managing “challenging” or high-stakes relationships.

• Strong communication and emotional intelligence —able to actively listen, read between the lines, empathize with client frustrations, and adapt tone/style mid-conversation.

• Naturally builds trust through relationship-building behaviors : consistent follow-through, transparency about deliverables, and a genuine interest in client success.

• Proactive problem solver —takes initiative to research and resolve without defaulting to escalation.

• Highly organized and detail-oriented —keeps commitments visible, tracks action items obsessively, and ensures nothing gets lost.

• Composed under pressure —navigates escalations calmly, doesn’t take client feedback personally, and keeps discussions solutions-focused.

• Comfortable with confrontation —can professionally push back, ask tough questions, and set boundaries with clients when needed.

• Strong written communication skills —able to craft detailed Slack messages, meeting notes, and client updates clearly and quickly.

• Background in B2B/B2C software or tech-adjacent services—able to understand development cycles, constraints, and stakeholder dynamics. Ideally brings some technical fluency.

• Previous startup or agency experience —understands pace, urgency, and shifting priorities.

• Project management mindset —run your own timelines, own deliverables, and drive clarity with or without formal tools.

• Protective team player —instinctively shields internal teams from unnecessary client chaos while keeping clients satisfied.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g. Asana, Trello, Notion, Jira).

• Experience working in cross-functional teams including product, design, and engineering.

• Previous experience in client strategy or customer success roles at a high-growth company.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive base salary + discretionary performance-based incentives

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

• Paid time off, holidays, and parental leave

• Please note, this is a contract to hire position
