Senior Project Manager

We are JATAPP, an IT company building products used by millions of users worldwide. Our portfolio already includes 20+ diverse products exclusively in white-label niches: Business, Utilities, Lifestyle, Cybersecurity, Education, and we are actively expanding into e-commerce and web. And there's even more to come!

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager for a product in the Microlearning niche. Here, you will find the space to build a success story in a fast-growing industry and have a direct impact on the product.

Why it’s exciting:

• The next level for your career: a unique challenge to establish predictable and efficient delivery for several parallel products and a web stream within a single shared engineering environment

• Direct access to the business: our Product Managers are internal stakeholders who work directly within the team

• Real impact on results: we are fully open to rebuilding processes from scratch. Your work, custom dashboards, and SDLC optimization will directly affect business metrics and time-to-market

• Strong focus on People Management: you will become a true leader for a cross-functional team of 8–10 specialists (Developers, QA), where you can sharpen your soft skills, conduct Performance Reviews, and foster a great engineering culture

Key Responsibilities:

• Delivery System & Intake Management: analyzing and transforming the current development workflow (Kanban/Scrumban). Organizing the intake process, working closely with products and engineers to evaluate initiative scope, blockers, and risks before tasks enter development

• Relieving Product Managers: taking over the operational delivery burden so that PMs can focus entirely on strategy, business planning, and financial metrics

• Planning & Release Management: building a transparent release system (app updates). Providing stakeholders with full visibility into which features are being released, when they will be ready, and what dependencies or release risks exist

• Capacity Management: balancing roadmap initiatives, technical debt, bug fixes, and growth experiments within a shared engineering capacity

• Delivery-Content Awareness: moving away from simply "moving cards in Jira." It is essential for you to understand what is being developed, be able to read technical documentation, and connect the dots to keep tasks moving efficiently

• People Management: leading and mentoring the engineering team (8–10 people), working in close collaboration with the Lead QA and the future internal Team Lead

What we expect from you:

• 4+ years of experience as a Project / Delivery Manager (priority given to product companies or mobile publishers)

• Hands-on experience managing delivery across multiple products or competing workstreams within a single shared resource pool

• Deep understanding of and practical experience with flow-based systems (Agile / Kanban / Scrumban), WIP limits, and backlog governance

• Experience with mobile specific workflows (Mobile: iOS / Android). Strongest focus on iOS + Web (understanding web funnels)

• Proficiency in Jira (setting up advanced workflows, dashboards, JQL, reporting) and Confluence/Notion

• Solid understanding of and ability to work with delivery metrics: Lead time, Cycle time, Throughput, and Bottleneck detection

• Direct People Management experience (with teams of 6+ people): conducting performance reviews, providing constructive feedback, and driving motivation

• Ability to communicate smoothly with various stakeholders, while being able to argumentatively defend process boundaries and say a firm "no" when necessary

• Readiness to work hands-on "in the field" directly with developers without relying on positional authority

Will be a plus:

• Experience building a RACI matrix and development metrics systems from scratch in an ambiguous environment
