About the role

You are the day-to-day link between the founder in the UK and our team of engineering interns. You turn written scopes into plans, keep everyone unblocked and make sure clients get honest, regular updates. You do not write production code.

What you would work on

  • Break each project scope into weekly plans, tasks and milestones
  • Run a short daily stand-up and a weekly demo with the UK
  • Track progress, risks and blockers, and raise them early
  • Write clear weekly status reports that the founder can share with clients
  • Match interns to tasks and help new starters settle in
  • Keep the project board, meeting notes and handover documents up to date

Requirements

  • A degree in any subject; a business, IT or engineering degree is a plus
  • At least two years coordinating software, IT or similar project delivery
  • Good fluency in written and spoken English, as most communication is in English
  • Confident using a task board such as Jira, Trello or Linear
  • A working understanding of agile ways of working (sprints, stand-ups, retrospectives)
  • Reliable, organised and calm when plans change
  • Able to give feedback kindly and clearly, and to say when something is at risk

Nice to have

  • A project management qualification such as PRINCE2, PMP or a Scrum certificate
  • Experience supervising students or junior staff
  • Basic understanding of cloud, DevOps or web development
