Technical Project Manager Job Title: Technical Project Manager Attention: Do not apply through Indeed or you won’t receive a response. Apply through this Job Application Form: https://forms.clickup.com/9011117614/f/8chnfhe-7811/L2W1VK9RWWZQ3RFKR0 The Ideal Candidate: We’re looking for a driven professional with uncompromising integrity—someone who values free market capitalism, is their own toughest critic, and has a knack for problem-solving and value creation. This role is not for the faint of heart. You’ll collaborate closely with our co-founder, who embraces first-principles thinking, iterates relentlessly, and holds himself and those around him to ever-increasing standards. If you prioritize work-life balance, boundaries, a “good enough” mindset or can’t resonate with a pro-business mentality, our projects won’t be the right fit for you. You should find energy—not exhaustion—in fast-paced feedback loops, an iterative process, and the pursuit of better. A sharp eye for detail, personal accountability, and a hunger for continuous improvement are essential. If you’re dependable, adaptable, proactive, motivated, and energized by an entrepreneurial startup work environment, we want to hear from you! Summary of the Role: As a Remote Technical Project Manager for Pet Awesome, you will manage a geographically diverse team of independent contractors, orchestrating multiple cross-functional projects simultaneously—including website development, workflow automations, and product execution from launch to revenue growth. This role requires technical fluency and an ability to operate in a dynamic remote environment, where you will champion a “No Excuses” approach by maintaining continuous alignment on deadlines, deliverables, and expectations, driving both accountability and project quality. You will collaborate and iterate closely with Key Internal Stakeholders to define deliverables, timelines, and ensure project outcomes align with company goals. Collaboration will typically take place over Slack and Zoom video meetings with cameras on and occasional screen sharing when needed. Once the goals are set, you will take ownership of executing the work and will be responsible for delivering results within the agreed-upon parameters and timelines. Knowledge transfer, transparency, and timely communication with all relevant stakeholders will be a critical part of your work to ensure we can collaborate effectively with you and participate seamlessly as needed. Attention: Please do not apply if you can’t or won’t follow explicit instructions. We evaluate attention to detail at every stage of our hiring process. - You are being assessed from the moment you read this sentence until hiring. Every email, file name, meeting, follow-up, deadline, etc. assesses your attention to detail and follow-through. If you fail to demonstrate this from the outset, you will not receive a response—saving both your time and ours. - We rarely send reminders or correction prompts. If you notice you slipped, resend the corrected item on your own initiative. Silence from us likely means you’re eliminated until you self-correct. - We expect most candidates will be turned off by this level of transparency and candor and will stop here—that’s by design. If you understand and appreciate why we operate this way and still proceed, you’re already demonstrating the judgment we value.

Work Schedule & Availability: - Estimated Weekly Hours: 20-30 based on company needs and workload. - Flexible Hours: Structure your work schedule to meet agreed outcomes while maintaining effective communication and alignment with stakeholders. - Meetings & Communication: Share overlapping availability for meetings and discussions as needed, typically between 14:00 - 16:00 PST About Us: At Pet Awesome, we’re a small but ambitious e-commerce company specializing in pet products, currently serving our 4-legged customers (and their hoomans) in the USA and UK.
