Project Manager, Eridan

• 3–5 years of project management experience, ideally in a software or technology context
• Strong Jira proficiency and hands-on experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies
• Ability to communicate fluently with software engineers — you don't need to write code, but you need to understand how software gets built
• Demonstrated ability to build or significantly improve PM processes in a high-growth or resource-constrained environment
• Action-oriented and self-directed — you move things forward without waiting for someone to tell you it's time
• Comfortable with conflict — you'll push back on stakeholders, surface hard truths, and drive resolution on competing priorities
• Adaptable and calm under ambiguity — startup environments change fast, and you adjust without losing momentum
• Active user of AI productivity tools (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent)

Desirable

• We're looking for a Project Manager who can bring order, structure, and strategic clarity to how Eridan plans and delivers software. This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage an already-defined PM process.
• It's for someone who wants to create one — and then own it. You'll work at the intersection of software engineering and product strategy, owning the long-range planning that keeps our teams aligned and moving.
• You'll be the connective tissue between big-picture goals and day-to-day execution. This role sits within a high-trust, high-ownership environment. You'll be expected to speak up, push back when something doesn't make sense, and move fast without waiting for perfect conditions. If that sounds like you, read on
• Own and maintain Eridan's 12–24 month software deliverables roadmap — keeping it current, realistic, and aligned with company goals
• Design and lead quarterly sprint planning cycles, defining feature development stages from concept through delivery
• Partner closely with software engineers to scope work, surface blockers early, and keep delivery on track
• Build project management processes and documentation standards where few currently exist — you'll be starting from a mostly blank slate
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment: bridging engineering, product, and operations so priorities stay clear and dependencies don't become surprises
• Track progress in Jira and produce clear, consistent status updates for stakeholders at all levels
• Run retrospectives, planning ceremonies, and working sessions that actually drive decisions — not just fill calendars
• Leverage AI tools (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT) to increase your own throughput and help the teams around you work smarter
