• Organize and facilitate team processes: refinement/grooming, planning, syncs, demo/retro.
• Manage the backlog and tasks in Jira: correct setting, statuses, WIP control, identification of blockers, transparent reporting.
• Manage risks and changes: fix agreements, escalate on time, offer options (scope/schedule trade-offs).
• Coordinate the interaction between the product, development, design, QA, support, and external parties (integrations/partners).
• To maintain the quality of the supply: criteria of readiness (DoR/DoD), acceptance control, post-release stabilization.
• Participate in the product part (as you grow): clarifying requirements, setting goals and metrics, prioritizing initiatives together with the Head of Product.

Requirements

• Project Manager / Delivery Manager experience in IT products from 2-4 years (middle/middle+).
• The practice of managing deadlines, dependencies, risks, and releases in a cross-functional team.
• Confident working with Jira (and understanding how to set up the process so that it is manageable).
• Understanding SDLC, client–server architecture, integrations at the basic level (REST, statuses, errors) - to speak the same language with the team.
• Strong communication skills: structurality, transparency of statuses, the ability to negotiate and keep the focus on the result.
• Independence and responsibility: the ability to bring initiatives to release without micromanagement of the team.
