Project Manager

The role is based in the Kyiv region, and we will expect you to work full-time in the office. We have a shuttle service from the nearest metro station.

Company’s success depends on precise, proactive, and highly structured execution. This role ensures that our most critical initiatives — whether engineering changes, deliveries, or operational processes — move forward predictably and efficiently. Your ability to connect people, define accountability, and drive outcomes will directly impact mission readiness and organizational performance.

What is your Day to Day Mission

• Take full ownership of projects across the company’s UAV product portfolio, ensuring their timely and complete execution — from planning to delivery.
• Proactively drive project progress by asking the right questions, identifying blockers, and keeping all stakeholders aligned.
• Break down projects into clearly structured tasks and sub-tasks in Jira, with precise deadlines and responsible parties.
• Monitor execution status across cross-functional teams (engineering, testing, production, product, service) and escalate issues where needed.
• Coordinate multiple streams of work, including both strategic initiatives and small-scale operational tasks — with equal attention and care.
• Ensure all contributors (internal and external) understand deliverables, timelines, and dependencies.
• Prepare and maintain project timelines, charts, and reporting dashboards.
• Act as the central point of communication for all project-related matters — aligning product, engineering, and field units.

• Build and sustain effective collaboration with technical leads, system architects, and external partners, including military and governmental stakeholders.

   

What you bring to the team

• 4+ years of experience as a Project Manager or Technical Coordinator in a high-tech engineering environment (preferably UAV, aerospace, robotics, or defense).
• Practical experience working in accordance with leading Agile methodologies, including SCRUM, Kanban, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), etc.
• Strong technical background with the ability to understand system-level dependencies and critical paths.
• Proactive mindset with a hands-on approach — you take initiative, resolve ambiguity, and act before being asked.
• Sharp focus on deadlines and ownership — you define them, track them, and hold teams accountable.
• Proven experience managing both large and small-scale projects — with attention to detail on every level.
• Expertise in Jira (epics, tasks, subtasks, linking, status flows) and experience structuring complex project boards.
• Excellent speaking and written communication skills in English and Ukrainian.
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical teams as well.

Additional assets for this role

• Prior experience working on UAVs or aerospace/hardware development programs would be preferable.
