Become a Senior Project Manager
We’re looking for someone who wants to become a Senior Project Manager and is ready to learn by doing.
At Hire Reactor, you’ll work side-by-side with a Project Manager inside a fast-moving tech environment. You’ll help run Agile projects, manage Jira like a PM (not just a user), and learn how real delivery happens across engineering and business teams.
If you’re the type of person who listens carefully, connects dots fast, and actually cares about understanding what’s going on — keep reading.
What you’ll actually do
Be the PM’s Right Hand
- Support the Project Manager in planning, tracking, and coordinating Agile tech projects
- Help keep projects organized, visible, and moving forward
Own Jira (Not Just Click Buttons)
- Create and manage Jira tickets (stories, tasks, bugs)
- Maintain boards, workflows, and sprint views
- Keep tickets clean, updated, and meaningful
If you’ve only used Jira to “move tickets,” this role is not a fit.
Live in Agile
- Attend daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
- Capture requirements, blockers, and action items with real understanding
- Follow up with developers and stakeholders to ensure clarity and progress
Requirements & Communication
- Listen to senior engineers, tech leads, and managers
- Translate conversations into clear Jira tasks and documentation
- Ask smart questions when things are unclear — guessing is not acceptable
Learn Fast, Grow Fast
- Absorb how projects run end-to-end
- Take feedback seriously and improve quickly
- Build real PM skills with the goal of stepping into a PM role
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Experience
- 1–2+ years as Junior Project Manager, project support, operations, admin, or tech-adjacent roles
- Experience in a startup or fast-paced development is a strong plus
Jira (Non-Negotiable)
- Intermediate Jira knowledge
- Comfortable:
- Creating tickets from scratch
- Understanding workflows
- Managing boards and sprints
- No certification needed — we care about real usage
Agile Understanding
- Familiar with Agile/Scrum ceremonies
- Understands how software teams work together
Mindset
- Wants to grow into a Project Manager (not “maybe someday”)
- Proactive, organized, and detail-oriented
- Fast learner who thrives during training
WHAT YOU GET
- Full-time, permanent role in a growing tech company
- Real PM exposure (not fake “assistant” work)
- Training, mentorship, and a clear path to Senior Project Manager
- Startup environment where your work actually matters
Why Join Us?
- Career Growth: Work with a supportive and experienced team that values mentorship and continuous learning.
- Challenging Projects: Be part of exciting, large-scale systems and new feature development.
- Impactful Work: Your code will directly power key features in live production environments
