Overview

Unico Connect is seeking a Project Manager to coordinate software delivery for client engagements across web, mobile, AI, and cloud products. The role partners daily with engineers, designers, and QA to keep sprints on track, stakeholders informed, and risks resolved before they impact delivery. The position is well suited to early-career project managers who have shipped real software, understand modern engineering rhythms, and are comfortable working directly with international clients.

Responsibilities

Run daily standups, sprint planning, demos, and retrospectives for 2-3 concurrent client projects
Maintain detailed project plans in Jira or Linear, covering scope, timelines, dependencies, and capacity
Track risks, blockers, and escalations; coordinate resolution within the same business day where possible
Author weekly client status reports with progress, demos, and the upcoming week's priorities
Coordinate cross-functional handoffs between design, engineering, QA, DevOps, and account teams
Maintain burn-down charts, velocity tracking, and resource allocation across delivery teams
Drive on-time delivery without compromising code quality, test coverage, or production readiness
Facilitate change management when scope shifts, including documentation and client sign-off
Onboard new engineers and designers to in-flight projects with sufficient context to contribute on day one
Maintain client-facing knowledge bases, demo environments, and access provisioning
Contribute to Unico Connect's internal project management playbooks and templates

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
1-3 years of experience as a Project Manager, Scrum Master, or technical project coordinator at a software product company or agency
Hands-on proficiency with Jira, Linear, Notion, or comparable project management tooling
Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and agile delivery methodologies
Excellent written and verbal English communication for direct client interaction
Comfortable interfacing with international clients across the US, UK, EU, and Australia
Strong organisational and documentation discipline
Ability to prioritise across competing demands without losing visibility
Familiarity with at least one modern engineering rhythm (Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid)
Capacity to read PRs, design docs, and technical specifications enough to scope conversations

Nice to Have

CSM, PMP, or PRINCE2 certification
Experience managing AI, mobile, or no-code projects
Prior software engineering or QA background
Hands-on with Notion AI, Loom, or async collaboration tools
Exposure to fixed-price + time-and-materials engagement models

AI Tools Proficiency

Production engineering at Unico Connect assumes AI tools form part of the daily workflow rather than an experimental augmentation. For this role specifically:

Claude or ChatGPT for drafting status reports, meeting summaries, and client comms
AI-assisted Notion and Linear workflows for documentation and task triage
Fireflies or Otter for meeting transcription and synthesis
Cursor for reading code when scoping technical risk

We Offer

Hybrid working model - 1 day work-from-home per week
MacBook Pro and external monitor for work
Paid subscriptions to Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor
Team events, offsites, and outings
Referral bonus when you bring in a successful hire

About the Company

Every Unico role expects the same underlying traits - regardless of department or seniority. If these resonate, apply.

AI-augmented by default

Fluent with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Figma AI, or whatever is relevant to your craft. We expect AI tools in the loop, not as a novelty.
Comfortable with startup pace

Fast cycles, real ownership, low ceremony. You will not be a cog.
Driven by value creation

Output and outcomes matter more than process. You ship work that moves a metric.
Ownership mindset

You treat the codebase, the deliverable, and the client relationship as your own.
Builder energy

You joined because you want to ship amazing tech products, not warm a seat.

Ready to build the future?

Join our team of engineers and help us shape the next generation of AI-native software for clients across the globe.
