Project manager for tiny SaaS

Posted on Oct 5, 2025
We’re a small SaaS team that’s been working together for 5+ years. No big ceremonies, no heavy frameworks — just Slack, Jira, and people getting things done. What we need now is someone who can keep our process flowing and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
What you’ll do:
- Keep Jira up to date (move tickets, check statuses, close the gaps devs forget)
- Ping the right people in Slack to keep work moving
- Remind the product owner when tickets/requirements need to be created
- Share light async updates on what’s in progress / what’s next / blockers
- Fit into our current async, Slack-first setup (suggest improvements later, not day one)
What you won’t do:
- Run SCRUM, sprints, or heavy ceremonies
- Own product prioritization — that stays with the co-founders
- Write requirements from scratch (at least initially)
What we expect from you:
- Proactive communication — you’re the one chasing updates, not waiting to be told
- Comfortable working async, but responsive during our core hours (10:00–18:00 EET)
- Hands-on attitude with small teams — no ivory tower PM stuff
- Experience with Jira and Slack (doesn’t have to be deep, just confident)
The setup:
- Full Remote, Flexible hours
- Hourly contract, ~10–20h/week (flexible)
- Bootstrapped product mindset — lean budget, lean process, focus on delivery
If this sounds like your style — helping a small team stay sharp without drowning us in process — we’d like to hear from you.
