Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who can actively manage and coordinate software projects, rather than someone who only has theoretical knowledge of project management.

The candidate should be comfortable using Jira on a day-to-day basis, communicating with developers and QA engineers, following up on tasks, monitoring sprint progress, and keeping management informed about project status.

Candidates with practical software project management experience and strong Jira familiarity are encouraged to apply.
