Project Manager (Gantt Guru)

location Remote, Kyiv, Odesa

We are looking for a person who will be the link between developers and the product team. A person who will be the lubricant for the mechanisms of our team and turn it into a Swiss watch. A human conductor. A person who will deliver results. A master of resource balance. A virtuoso of deadlines.

I (Rad – CEO and founder of Saldo Apps) spent about 17 minutes and 23 seconds talking to ChatGPT to find out the difference between Project Manager and Delivery Manager, but I still didn’t understand. So he named the role Gantt Guru.

Briefly about us:

Saldo Apps is a fintech ecosystem for the self-employed and microbusinesses. It’s a single platform for accounting and finance (both business and personal) with an all-in-one web version and several mobile applications. We offer products worldwide, but currently 75% of our revenue comes from the US. You may also have heard of our Saldo Finance product, which is currently the most popular personal finance app in Ukraine.

Main objective for the role:

  • Ensure that products (releases) are delivered on time and to the appropriate quality.

Hard skills required for the position:

  • Persistence and perseverance;
  • Analytical mindset;
  • Ability to get things done no matter what;

  • Knowledge of project management methodologies and frameworks;

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Amplitude;

Job responsibilities include:

  • Establish planning and interaction between these two teams;
  • Set up the delivery processes;
  • Be responsible for deadlines directly to the CEO;
  • Remove unnecessary rituals and calls;
  • Relieve product managers and developers from organisational routine;
  • Administer JIRA, Confluence, and that’s it.

We offer the following benefits:

  • Flexible working hours.
  • Fully remote work. Though we have offices in the center of Odesa and Kyiv, we gladly accept fully remote employees.
  • 37 business days of paid day off, which can be spent on vacation, sick leave, public holidays, and generally at your own discretion.  We encourage you to rest!
  • Fast career growth – your career advancement is up to you.

  • Individual and group sessions with a corporate psychologist.
  • Corporate events and entertainment – we are part of the Netpeak Group which is known for its fun activities. Twice a year, we host large-scale corporate events, attended by more than 1100 employees from different countries. Together with the Saldo Apps team, we go to Odesa for a week-long hackathon every summer, where we work on new products and relax together. We will resume these traditions as soon as it is possible and safe for everyone.
