Location: Remote
Start: Immediately
Type: Freelance / Contract (Full-time project)

Louco is building a new generation event discovery platform that connects users, creators and the entertainment industry. Our goal is not just to build another event app – we want to rethink how people find & attend events.

We are looking for a hands-on Project Manager / Product Operations Manager who can work closely with our engineering team, coordinate delivery, and ensure that product development runs smoothly and efficiently.

This role is focused on execution, coordination, and delivery rather than high-level product strategy.

Tasks

• Ensure smooth delivery of product features across backend, frontend, and mobile teams
• Track progress of development tasks and ensure deadlines are met
• Maintain and execute the product roadmap in alignment with company strategy
• Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies early and resolve them quickly

Engineering Team Coordination

• Work closely with backend, frontend, and mobile developers
• Coordinate daily development processes and maintain transparency across the team
• Ensure tasks are clearly defined, prioritized, and documented
• Support engineers in removing blockers and maintaining focus

Agile Process & Meetings

• Facilitate Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, demos)
• Organize and lead product and technical workshops with engineers and stakeholders
• Ensure productive collaboration between Product Owner, CEO, and engineering team

Documentation & Product Structure

• Maintain clear documentation for product features, technical decisions, and workflows
• Structure and manage product backlog, tasks, and requirements
• Ensure all product requirements are clearly documented and understood by the team

Communication

• Act as the central coordination point between product, engineering, and leadership
• Provide regular updates on progress, risks, and delivery timelines

Requirements

Experience

• 4+ years of experience in Project Management, Product Operations, or Delivery Management
• Proven experience working directly with software engineering teams
• Experience coordinating backend, frontend, and mobile development teams
• Experience leading workshops, sprint planning sessions, and cross-functional meetings

Technical Understanding

You do not need to be a developer, but you must understand:

• Web and mobile product development
• APIs and backend/frontend collaboration
• Agile development processes
• Product delivery workflows

Skills

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
• Comfortable working in fast-moving startup environments

Tools

Experience with tools such as:

• Jira / Linear / ClickUp
• Notion / Confluence
• Slack
• Figma
• Miro

We are looking for someone who:

• Is delivery-focused and pragmatic
• Can keep engineers productive and unblock them quickly
• Understands startup speed and iteration
• Can structure chaos into clear execution
• Is comfortable working closely with founders and engineers

Benefits

• Opportunity to join a startup at an early stage
• Work directly with founders
• Remote work
• Competitive compensation
• Performance-based bonuses
• Opportunity for long-term collaboration

We are building a product with significant potential in the event and entertainment industry, and we are looking for people who want to build something meaningful from the beginning.

This is a chance to join at an early stage and help build a product with enormous potential that could significantly reshape the event industry.

We are building a small but strong team, and people who join us now will play a key role in shaping both the product and the technology behind it.
