**About the Role** ------------------ We are looking for a hands\-on, execution\-driven Technical Project Manager to join our Project Management Office in Mexico, with strong experience in mobile app development. This is not a traditional PMO or corporate project management role — we need someone who can jump in immediately, take full ownership of the project, and move fast. You will work side by side with the technical team and client to ship a great consumer mobile product. You will own the backlog, coordinate daily with the client and the development team, run Agile/Scrum ceremonies, and ensure consistent delivery. Ideally you have shipped consumer\-facing mobile apps — food, delivery, loyalty, or similar — and thrive in fast\-paced, autonomous environments where you’re expected to operate proactively. You bring deep practical knowledge of how mobile apps are built, a product mindset, and the energy to lead execution from day one — with high autonomy and full ownership of outcomes. **Key Responsibilities** ------------------------ 1\. **Technical Project Management** * Lead proposal preparation and budgeting, ensuring accurate financial forecasts and resource allocation. * Oversee end\-to\-end project execution, managing timelines, budgets, and scope to ensure successful delivery. * Develop and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, milestones, and status reports. * Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks; manage and account for unforeseen delays, realigning schedules and expectations as needed. * Establish and implement project communication plans, providing regular status updates to affected staff and stakeholders. 2\. **Client \& Stakeholder Management** * Act as the main client\-facing contact for all project\-related communications, building and maintaining strong client relationships. * Serve as the bridge between technical teams and non\-technical stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts into clear business language. * Gather and document client requirements, ensuring alignment between stakeholder expectations and project deliverables. * Manage stakeholder expectations through proactive communication and transparent reporting on project progress, issues, and changes. 3\. **Product Owner Relay** * Act as the Product Owner relay, representing business needs to development teams and ensuring alignment with the product vision. * Create, prioritize, and manage day\-to\-day tickets and tasks in the product/project backlog. * Define clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and deliverables for development teams. * Facilitate backlog refinement sessions and collaborate with teams to ensure stories are well\-understood and properly estimated. * Balance competing priorities from multiple stakeholders, making data\-driven decisions on feature prioritization. 4\. **Team Coordination \& Leadership** * Drive internal coordination between cross\-functional teams including development, design, QA, and operations. * Facilitate Agile ceremonies including daily stand\-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and demos. * Lead regular technical team meetings to determine progress and address any questions or challenges regarding projects. * Motivate and support team members, fostering a collaborative and productive work environment. * Provide guidance and mentorship to junior project coordinators and team members. 5\. **Process Optimization \& Automation** * Identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and workflows to increase overall team efficiency. * Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the PMO, implementing best practices and standardized processes. * Evaluate and recommend project management tools, technologies, and methodologies to optimize delivery. * Document processes, create templates, and establish guidelines to ensure consistency across projects. * Lead change management efforts when implementing new processes or systems. **Required Qualifications** --------------------------- * **Experience:** 4\+ years of experience as a Product Manager or hands\-on Project Manager with a strong focus on mobile app development and Agile delivery. * **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field. Master’s degree is a plus. * **Technical \& Domain Knowledge:** * Solid understanding of mobile app development (iOS/Android), including typical architectures, dev cycles, and QA processes. * Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and frameworks (Kanban, SAFe, or similar). * Proficiency with project management tools such as Productive, Jira, or Microsoft Project. * **Client \& Communication Skills:** * Proven experience in client communication and relationship management. * Excellent written and verbal communication skills in Spanish and English. * Strong presentation skills with the ability to communicate effectively at all organizational levels. * **Core Competencies:** * Strong analytical thinking and problem\-solving abilities. * Excellent stakeholder management and negotiation skills. * Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple priorities simultaneously. * Self\-motivated with strong organizational and time management skills. **Preferred Qualifications** ---------------------------- * Project management certifications (PMP, CSM, CSPO) are a plus, but not required — we value real\-world mobile product experience over credentials. * Proven track record shipping consumer\-facing mobile apps (food, delivery, loyalty, or similar). * Practical experience running Agile/Scrum ceremonies and managing backlogs end\-to\-end (Jira, Linear, or similar). * Experience acting as Product Owner or PM with full ownership of roadmap, priorities, and delivery — not just as a coordinator. * Experience with change management methodologies (ADKAR, Prosci, or similar). * Experience in digital transformation, software development, or technology consulting projects. * Knowledge of automation tools (Zapier, Power Automate, scripting) for workflow optimization. * Experience working with international clients and in a multicultural environment. * Additional European languages are a plus. **Key Competencies** -------------------- * Strategic thinking with attention to detail in execution. * Leadership and team motivation abilities. * Adaptability and flexibility in response to changes or unforeseen challenges. * Decision\-making skills, especially under pressure. * Strong sense of accountability and ownership for project outcomes. * Customer\-centric mindset with focus on delivering value. * Continuous improvement orientation and proactive problem\-solving. * Empathy and ability to understand and address team and stakeholder concerns.
