Project Manager – Technology (Linear / Execution-Focused)
Maxim Licensing
About the role
About Us
We operate high-growth digital competitions and consumer platforms focused on audience engagement, content, and brand-building.
Our platform runs at scale — with high traffic, real-time voting, and constant iteration.
We move fast, ship frequently, and rely on strong execution to keep everything running smoothly.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Project Manager to support our engineering team and own execution across technical projects.
This is not a strategy-only role. You will be responsible for managing the day-to-day flow of work inside Linear, ensuring tickets are clear, prioritized, and moving forward.
This is for someone who can take a project from idea → ticket → execution → completion without things getting lost or delayed.
You don’t need to be an engineer — but you must be comfortable working closely with developers and keeping technical work on track.
What You’ll Do
Own Execution in Linear
- Manage and maintain all active work inside Linear
- Ensure tickets are clearly written, scoped, and actionable
- Track progress and keep everything moving forward
Manage Tickets & Workflow
- Prioritize tasks across multiple projects
- Follow up consistently — nothing gets stuck or forgotten
- Keep statuses, assignments, and timelines accurate
Remove Blockers
- Identify issues early and drive resolution
- Coordinate with engineering and stakeholders to unblock work
- Keep momentum across all active initiatives
Communicate Clearly
- Provide concise, real-time updates to leadership
- Ensure alignment between engineering and business priorities
- Keep everyone informed without unnecessary meetings
Stay Organized at Scale
- Manage multiple parallel workstreams without losing visibility
- Maintain clean, structured workflows
- Ensure deliverables are completed on time
What Success Looks Like
- Tickets in Linear are always clear, up-to-date, and progressing
- Projects move forward without constant oversight
- Blockers are identified and resolved quickly
- Deadlines are consistently met or proactively managed
- Engineering stays focused and unblocked
- Leadership has full visibility into progress at all times
Requirements
- Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
- Strong sense of ownership and follow-through
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Clear and direct communication style
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment
- Experience using Linear (strongly preferred) or similar tools
Bonus Points
- Experience working with engineering or technical teams
- Basic understanding of software development workflows
- Experience in startup or high-growth environments
- Ability to understand technical conversations and translate into actionable tasks
