Project Manager / Project Coordinator

Open 31d

*About the Role*
We are looking for a Business Development & Project Coordinator to join our team in a full-time position. This is a hybrid role at the intersection of opportunity sourcing, project coordination, and team communication — ideal for someone who enjoys both analytical work and staying in the middle of the action.

*Requirements*
No prior production experience is required — we are ready to teach and support you at the start. What matters most is motivation, self-organization, and a genuine interest in this kind of work.

  • Familiarity with Upwork or other freelance marketplaces, or a willingness to learn them quickly (searching, evaluating, and qualifying projects)
  • Ability to analyze project descriptions and assess their fit against team skills and availability
  • Confident working with structured data (Google Sheets / Excel) and preparing simple reports
  • Basic understanding of the software development process and common technologies, or readiness to learn (enough to evaluate whether a project matches the team's stack)
  • Upper-Intermediate or higher written English — you will read project requirements and prepare client-facing reports
  • Strong self-organization and attention to detail — much of this work is real-time monitoring and follow-through

*Job Responsibilities*

  • Monitor freelance marketplaces and job platforms in real time to identify projects and opportunities that match our team's expertise
  • Analyze and qualify incoming opportunities, evaluate requirements, and provide the best matches to the technical team
  • Communicate with the development team: track task status, availability, and workload
  • Track logged hours and verify time reports across active projects
  • Prepare regular reports on completed work for clients and internal stakeholders
  • Maintain an organized pipeline of opportunities and keep the team informed of promising leads

*Nice to Have*

  • 1+ year of experience in lead generation, sales support, project coordination, or a similar role in IT
  • Experience writing proposals or bids on Upwork
  • Familiarity with time-tracking tools and workload monitoring
  • Experience with project management tools (Jira, Trello, ClickUp, or similar)
  • Basic understanding of Web/Mobile/BE development terminology

*Hiring Process*

  • Pre-screening (30 minutes) — Initial conversation focused on your background, experience, and expectations.
  • Practical Interview (~1 hour) — Discussion of real scenarios: evaluating sample projects, prioritizing opportunities, and structuring reports.

*Our Approach*

  • Transparency: We openly communicate how our pipeline and processes work and what challenges lie ahead.
  • Result-Oriented: We value finding the right opportunities and clear reporting over unnecessary bureaucracy.
  • Growth: An opportunity to shape this role, influence how we find and win projects, and grow toward business development or delivery management.
  • Flexibility: Flexible working hours and a strong focus on maintaining work-life balance.

*We Offer*

  • Competitive compensation
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and public holidays
  • Mentorship and hands-on guidance during onboarding — we will teach you our processes and tools
  • Direct impact on the company's project pipeline and close collaboration with the engineering team
