Organization context: The Remnant Foundation

· We are dedicated to cultivating a generation grounded in faith, focused on promoting spiritual growth while also striving for success in every aspect of life.

· The PM will lead a multi-phase initiative aligned with this mission, coordinating design, development, and operations across UI/UX, frontend, backend, and DevOps/QA with outsourced teams to deliver a high-quality digital platform that supports spiritual growth, community engagement, and practical life coaching resources.

Role summary

· Own end-to-end delivery of a multi-phase product initiative spanning UI/UX design, frontend development (Flutter for mobile, React/Nex.js for web), backend development (Django + PostgreSQL), and DevOps/QA/publishing.

· Acts as the primary interface between internal stakeholders and all outsourced development teams, ensuring alignment, quality, and on-time releases within budget.

· Owns product backlog governance, milestone planning, risk management, governance ceremonies, vendor management, and delivery reporting.

Core responsibilities

Program governance and planning

• Define the program scope, milestones, budgets, and success metrics for all five phases.
• Build and maintain a phased project plan with clear dependencies, critical path, and acceptance criteria.
• Create and maintain the RACI matrix for the program.

Backlog and requirements management

• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering leads to translate business goals into backlog items, user stories, acceptance criteria, and tangible deliverables.
• Prioritize across phases to optimize scope, value, and risk, while managing stakeholder expectations.

Vendor and team orchestration

• Recruit, onboard, and manage outsourced development teams; establish SLAs, working agreements, communication cadences, and escalation paths.
• Serve as the single point of contact for status, blockers, and contractual governance; coordinate across frontend, backend, design, and DevOps/QA partners.

Delivery cadence and quality assurance

• Plan and facilitate sprint/iteration cadences (planning, reviews, retrospectives) and ensure timely demos to stakeholders.
• Enforce quality gates (code quality, testing coverage, performance criteria, security standards, accessibility) and ensure deliverables meet acceptance criteria.
• Manage risk, scope changes, and issue resolution with transparent reporting.

Architecture and technical alignment (through domain leads)

• While technical motifs are handled by the Technical Leads (Frontend Lead, Backend Lead, UX/UI Lead, DevOps/QA Lead), ensure alignment with overall architecture, API contracts, data models, and design system fidelity.
• Review high-level architectural decisions, integration points, and cross-team dependencies to prevent siloed work.

Stakeholder communication and reporting

• Provide transparent program updates to executives and stakeholders; prepare dashboards, risk logs, budget burn, and milestone progress.
• Document decisions, trade-offs, and change requests; maintain a single source of truth for all artifacts.

Compliance, risk, and security

• Ensure compliance with data privacy, security requirements, and IP considerations in vendor agreements.
• Lead risk management planning and implement contingency strategies.

Change management and go-live readiness

• Coordinate release planning, user training, documentation, and support handoffs.
• Ensure smooth publishing across platforms and post-release monitoring.

Required qualifications

• 7+ years of project/program management in software development, including multiple-phase product delivery and distributed/outsourced teams.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multi-vendor engagements with clear SLA structures and governance.
• Strong familiarity with the tech stack (Flutter, React/Nex.js, Django, PostgreSQL) at a high level; ability to interface effectively with Technical Leads.
• Proficient in Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban), backlog management, and value-driven prioritization.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills; proven ability to translate business goals into actionable technical tasks.
• Experience with PM tools (Jira/Linear/Aha!, Confluence), plus reporting dashboards and risk registries.

Nice-to-have

• Prior experience leading cross-functional programs that span design, frontend, backend, and DevOps.
• Exposure to design systems and Figma handoffs; working knowledge of API contracts and data modeling.
• familiarity with cloud deployments and basic DevOps concepts to better coordinate with the DevOps/QA team.
