Project Manager / Project Coordinator

*About the Role*
We are looking for a Business Development & Project Coordinator to join our team in a full-time position. This is a hybrid role at the intersection of opportunity sourcing, project coordination, and team communication — ideal for someone who enjoys both analytical work and staying in the middle of the action.

*Requirements*
No prior production experience is required — we are ready to teach and support you at the start. What matters most is motivation, self-organization, and a genuine interest in this kind of work.

• Familiarity with Upwork or other freelance marketplaces, or a willingness to learn them quickly (searching, evaluating, and qualifying projects)
• Ability to analyze project descriptions and assess their fit against team skills and availability
• Confident working with structured data (Google Sheets / Excel) and preparing simple reports
• Basic understanding of the software development process and common technologies, or readiness to learn (enough to evaluate whether a project matches the team's stack)
• Upper-Intermediate or higher written English — you will read project requirements and prepare client-facing reports
• Strong self-organization and attention to detail — much of this work is real-time monitoring and follow-through

*Job Responsibilities*

• Monitor freelance marketplaces and job platforms in real time to identify projects and opportunities that match our team's expertise
• Analyze and qualify incoming opportunities, evaluate requirements, and provide the best matches to the technical team
• Communicate with the development team: track task status, availability, and workload
• Track logged hours and verify time reports across active projects
• Prepare regular reports on completed work for clients and internal stakeholders
• Maintain an organized pipeline of opportunities and keep the team informed of promising leads

*Nice to Have*

• 1+ year of experience in lead generation, sales support, project coordination, or a similar role in IT
• Experience writing proposals or bids on Upwork
• Familiarity with time-tracking tools and workload monitoring
• Experience with project management tools (Jira, Trello, ClickUp, or similar)
• Basic understanding of Web/Mobile/BE development terminology

*Hiring Process*

• Pre-screening (30 minutes) — Initial conversation focused on your background, experience, and expectations.
• Practical Interview (~1 hour) — Discussion of real scenarios: evaluating sample projects, prioritizing opportunities, and structuring reports.

*Our Approach*

• Transparency: We openly communicate how our pipeline and processes work and what challenges lie ahead.
• Result-Oriented: We value finding the right opportunities and clear reporting over unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Growth: An opportunity to shape this role, influence how we find and win projects, and grow toward business development or delivery management.
• Flexibility: Flexible working hours and a strong focus on maintaining work-life balance.

*We Offer*

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible work schedule
• Paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and public holidays
• Mentorship and hands-on guidance during onboarding — we will teach you our processes and tools
• Direct impact on the company's project pipeline and close collaboration with the engineering team
