The Role:

We’re looking for a sharp, organized Software Project Manager to sit at the center of our engineering, operations, marketing and leadership teams. You’ll work closely with executives, department leads, and engineers alike — serving as the connective tissue that keeps priorities aligned and execution on track across the organization.

You’ll drive the planning and execution of specific software projects, owning them end-to-end from kickoff through delivery.

You’ll own project timelines, deliverables, and day-to-day coordination across engineering, product, and operations to ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with high quality.

What You’ll Do:

Project Coordination & Execution

• Gather, clarify, and document requirements for features, projects, and initiatives — working closely with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
• Break down high-level requests into well-scoped tasks and manage them in Jira, keeping tickets clear, current, and properly prioritized
• Serve as the primary point of contact between the CEO and the engineering team, ensuring priorities are communicated clearly in both directions
• Define project timelines and milestones, keeping them current as scope or priorities evolve
• Forecast project delivery across active workstreams, identifying risks and dependencies early to keep stakeholders aligned on realistic expectations
• Manage and communicate priority shifts across teams, ensuring everyone understands what is changing and why
• Track project status across active workstreams and proactively surface blockers, risks, or scope changes before they become problems
• Partner with the Head of Engineering on project planning and delivery using a structured waterfall approach with agile principles applied where appropriate
• Perform functional QA on features before release — verifying that what was built matches the requirements and catching issues early before they reach production

Stakeholder Communication

• Prepare and deliver concise status updates, milestone summaries, and project reports for leadership
• Facilitate alignment meetings and keep decisions documented so nothing falls through the cracks
• Support cross-departmental projects beyond engineering when needed, helping other teams stay organized and on track

Process & Tools

• Serve as our internal Jira export – own, improve, and optimize our Jira setup, workflows, boards, and configurations to best support how our teams work.
• Create and maintain project templates, documentation standards, and process guidelines
• Help onboard future team members to project processes as the team grows

You’re a Good Fit If You Have:

• 1–3 years of experience in a project management or project coordinator
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can translate between business speak and engineering speak
• Deep, hands-on Jira expertise – you know the tool inside and out and can configure workflows, boards, and automations confidently.
• Comfortable performing functional QA and acceptance testing — you can methodically verify that a feature works as intended and clearly communicate issues when it doesn’t
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and a bias toward action
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, startup environment where priorities can shift
• Able to work independently and take ownership without constant direction

Nice to Have/Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working alongside or embedded within a software engineering team
• Familiarity with agile/scrum methodologies
• Experience in aviation, logistics, or a tech-forward service industry
• Exposure to tools like Notion, Confluence, or similar documentation platforms

Compensation:

• Annual Salary Range: $85,000 – 125,000 USD per year
• 15 Days Paid Time Off (PTO) Per Year
• 100% Paid Healthcare, Dental, Vision PPO Plans
• Company Issued MacBook Pro + iPhone
• Dedicated Office/Workspace at our 10,000 sqf Global HQ in Calabasas, CA 91302
