Project Manager – Technology (Linear / Execution-Focused)

Maxim Licensing

Brooklyn · On-site Full-time $60k – $65k/yr 5d ago

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
