Location: Pune, India (HQ2 - On-site)

The Role

Blitzy is looking for a highly organized, detail-obsessed Project Manager to join our Pune team. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and client delivery - owning the coordination and execution that keeps complex, fast-moving software projects on track. You won't just manage timelines; you'll be a force multiplier for the team, anticipating blockers before they happen, holding stakeholders accountable, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative, and earns trust through relentless follow-through.

What Success Looks Like

• Projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with clear communication at every stage - no surprises.

• You have built a deep understanding of Blitzy's platform and processes through self-directed learning, not hand-holding.

• Engineering and product teams describe you as the person who makes everything run smoother.

• Stakeholders - internal and external - trust you as their single point of accountability for project status.

• Risks are identified and escalated early; blockers are resolved before they become delays.

• Your documentation, trackers, and reporting are always current, clean, and acted upon.

Areas of Ownership

• End-to-end project lifecycle management: scoping, planning, execution, tracking, and closure across multiple concurrent workstreams.

• Obsessive attention to detail - every status, dependency, and open item is tracked, documented, and acted upon. So nothing slips through the cracks

• Maintaining meticulous project plans, status dashboards, RAID logs, and milestone tracking with obsessive attention to detail.

• Takes full ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. Drives work to the finish line without being asked twice, and holds others accountable to do the same

• Facilitating cross-functional standups, sprint reviews, and stakeholder syncs - driving clear outcomes and documented next steps.

• Proactively identifying risks, dependencies, and scope creep; escalating with proposed solutions, not just problems.

• Serving as the communication backbone between engineering, QA, product, and client-facing teams.

• Owning resource coordination and capacity planning across sprint cycles.

• Strong async communicator - know how to write a crisp status update, a clear Slack message, or a well-structured escalation that gets the right people moving without a meeting

• Continuously improving project workflows, templates, and tooling to increase team efficiency.

Required Experience

• 3 - 6 years of project management or program management experience, preferably in a software development or technology environment.

• Proven track record of managing multiple concurrent projects with competing priorities.

• Hands-on experience with project management tools such as Jira, Asana, Linear, or equivalent.

• Strong command of Agile/Scrum methodologies; experience running sprint ceremonies end-to-end.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to distill complex status into clear, actionable summaries.

• Demonstrated ability to learn independently - you seek out answers, read documentation, and upskill proactively.

• Strong organizational instincts: nothing slips, everything is tracked, and your systems reflect it.

• Experience working across HQ1 (US) and HQ2 (India) time zones - comfortable bridging communication gaps and ensuring nothing falls through between shifts

What Makes You Stand Out

• PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, or equivalent certification.

• Experience working in a high-growth startup or AI/software development company.

• Familiarity with SDLC concepts and the ability to hold technical conversations with engineering teams.

• Experience managing external client relationships alongside internal delivery.

• You have built project management systems from scratch - not just inherited them.

What Makes This Role Different

Most PM roles ask you to manage processes that already exist. At Blitzy, you'll be building them. You'll work directly with a world-class engineering team pushing the frontier of autonomous software development - which means your projects won't look like anyone else's. The pace is fast, the stakes are high, and the room to grow is real. If you've been looking for a role where your organizational superpower actually matters, this is it.
