Project Manager

We are seeking an Agile-minded Part-Time Project Manager to drive structure, accountability, and forward momentum across our technology and program initiatives. This is not a coordination role — it is a leadership-oriented PM position where you will actively drive two key team members (our CTO Architect and Clinical lead) toward deliverables, deadlines, and strategic milestones.

You will own the rhythm of the work: structuring twice-weekly touchpoint calls, collecting verbal and written updates, preparing focused agendas, and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. The right candidate brings project management discipline to a startup environment without bureaucratic overhead.

Project Management & Accountability (70%)

• Drive execution across technology development and program initiatives by holding team members accountable to timelines, deliverables, and commitments
• Structure and facilitate twice-weekly touchpoint calls with the CTO, Architect, and Clinical lead, ensuring meetings are focused, productive, and action-oriented
• Collect verbal and written updates in advance of meetings to prepare clear, prioritized agendas
• Track action items, decisions, and blockers — follow up relentlessly to ensure progress between meetings
• Maintain project timelines, milestones, and status dashboards using lightweight, Agile-friendly tools
• Identify risks and bottlenecks early and escalate to the Founder/CEO with recommended solutions
• Apply Agile principles (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives) adapted to a small-team startup context
• Drive alignment between the for-profit technology roadmap and the nonprofit mission objectives

Research & Presentation Support (20%)

• Conduct targeted research to support grant applications, partnership development, or strategic decisions
• Prepare concise presentation materials, briefs, or summaries when needed
• Support data gathering for reporting requirements

Administrative Support (10%)

• Manage scheduling, calendar coordination, and meeting logistics as needed
• Organize and maintain project documentation and shared files
• Handle ad hoc administrative tasks to keep operations running smoothly

• Demonstrated project management experience — you have owned timelines, driven accountability, and delivered results (formal PM roles, startup operations, or equivalent)
• Agile mindset is non-negotiable — you think in sprints, iterations, and continuous improvement; you adapt frameworks to fit the team rather than forcing the team into frameworks
• Proven ability to drive people toward deliverables — not just coordinate, but actively push, follow up, and hold the line on commitments
• Strong meeting facilitation skills — you know how to run a tight, focused call and leave with clear action items
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you can synthesize updates into crisp agendas and status reports
• Self-directed and proactive — in a 10–15 hour/week role, every hour must count; you manage your own time ruthlessly
• Comfort working in a startup environment — ambiguity, shifting priorities, and wearing multiple hats are energizing, not frustrating
• Willingness to learn the for-profit/nonprofit dual structure — you don't need to come in as an expert, but you must be curious, ask smart questions, and get up to speed quickly

• ScrumMaster certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent)
• Project Management certification (PMP, Google PM Certificate, CAPM, or equivalent)
• Experience working with technology/software development teams
• Familiarity with health tech, digital health, or cancer health
• Experience in grant-funded or nonprofit environments
• Comfort with tools such as Trello, Asana, Jira, Notion, or similar project tracking platforms

• Fully remote position with flexible scheduling
• Meaningful impact — your work directly supports liver cancer curative pathways
• Growth potential — as we secure additional funding through 2026, this role has strong potential to expand in scope and hours
• Startup autonomy — you'll have the freedom to structure processes and make decisions without bureaucratic red tape
• Compensation commensurate with experience; discussed during interview

In the first 30 days:

• You have established the rhythm of twice-weekly touchpoint calls with clear agendas
• You understand each team member's current workstreams, blockers, and upcoming milestones
• You have a working project tracker in place

In the first 90 days:

• Meetings consistently end with documented action items and owners
• The Founder/CEO has clear visibility into project status without needing to chase updates
• Team members experience you as someone who drives progress, not someone who adds process

Please submit:

1. Your resume or CV
2. A brief note (email-length, not a formal cover letter) describing:

• Your PM experience and Agile approach
• Why a part-time startup PM role appeals to you
• Your availability and preferred working hours
