Role

Who you are

3+ years as a Project Owner, Product Manager, or Delivery/Project Lead on a live software product
Proven track record writing technical tasks and specs that engineers execute without back-and-forth
Experience running agile delivery processes (backlog management, sprints, releases) end to end
Demonstrated ability to build processes, checklists, and quality standards - not just follow them
Experience holding cross-functional contributors accountable for deadlines and quality
Working technical fluency: able to discuss implementation trade-offs with engineers credibly
Advanced, daily use of AI tools (LLMs, agents, AI-assisted workflows) to accelerate specs, analysis, and delivery - with command of standard task-management tooling (Jira, Linear, Notion, or equivalent)
Highly structured operator - you build systems that make quality repeatable
Comfortable giving direct, specific feedback and enforcing standards without drama
Bias to ownership: picks up unclaimed problems instead of waiting for assignment
Detail-obsessed about the work itself - reads the ticket, tests the feature, checks the numbers
Clear, direct communicator who operates effectively in a remote environment

What the job involves

We are looking for a highly organized Project Owner to own execution quality across one of our D2C subscription products
You will be fully responsible for keeping every workstream moving to standard - setting priorities with stakeholders, translating them into clear technical tasks, driving delivery across product, engineering, design, data, and marketing, and taking direct ownership of projects that have no dedicated owner
This is a high-accountability role suited for someone who treats "almost done" as not done
We hold a high bar: clear tickets, honest timelines, and work shipped to standard. You will inspect the work, keep the team moving when pace or quality slips, and close gaps yourself when a project falls between roles
Set priorities together with stakeholders and maintain a single, agreed backlog
Own the delivery pipeline end to end, from prioritized backlog to verified release
Define and enforce processes, definitions of done, and quality standards across all workstreams
Drive sprint planning, task tracking, and follow-through so nothing stalls silently
Identify process bottlenecks and fix them with structure, not workarounds
Translate product and business priorities into precise, developer-ready technical tasks
Write specs with clear acceptance criteria, edge cases, and measurable outcomes
Partner with engineering to scope, estimate, and sequence work realistically
Use AI tools daily to accelerate spec writing, analysis, and QA - and spread what works across the team
Verify delivered work against spec before it ships — and reject what falls short
Hold every contributor to explicit quality and deadline expectations
Push pace and raise the bar when execution drifts, directly and constructively
Run reviews and retros that convert misses into changed processes
Institutionalize best practices so quality does not depend on individual heroics
Take direct ownership of initiatives that lack a dedicated owner and drive them to completion
Coordinate across product, engineering, design, data, and marketing to unblock dependencies
Collaborate with the Managing Director to align execution priorities with business goals
Keep stakeholders informed with concise, honest status reporting

Application process

After submitting your application, we conduct a thorough review which typically takes 3 to 5 days, but may occasionally take longer due to the volume of applications received. If we see a potential fit, we proceed with the following steps:
Recruiter Screening (40 minutes)
Technical Interview (90 minutes)
Final Interview (60 minutes)

Our take

Described as “a pocket PT”, Able is an app that supports users in building a healthier lifestyle and losing weight. In the past, weight-watching has been a controversial topic, and companies operating in this space need to be careful of how and what they are supporting and encouraging. Able is setting itself apart with a holistic approach and making it clear it does not count calories.

Users of the app purchase a subscription for 1-1 coaching with wellness professionals all vetted by Able itself. The goal is to support users in making their overall lifestyle healthier and happier rather than just fixating on losing weight.

Founder Roman Taranov comes from a successful entrepreneurial background with extensive knowledge in the software development and mobile payment sector. It has a strong mission to digitise and improve user experience, which is an exciting idea to marry with a wellness platform.
