Project Manager, JP/EN
Keep Japanese client projects organized from discovery through handover, with clear scope, notes, risks, decisions, demos, and next actions.
What you will do
You will keep delivery calm and legible. The job is to make sure client expectations, engineering scope, decisions, and handover materials stay aligned.
- Coordinate kickoffs, weekly demos, decisions, and follow-up actions
- Maintain bilingual status notes, acceptance criteria, and risk logs
- Keep client expectations aligned with engineering scope and delivery reality
- Support handover materials, meeting cadence, and procurement documentation
What good looks like
A good project feels boring in the best way: the next action is clear, risks are visible early, and nobody discovers a hidden assumption at the end.
- Clear agenda before meetings
- Short decision notes after meetings
- Visible risk and dependency log
- Acceptance criteria that match the build
- Clean handover at the end
Who fits
Best for someone who can translate between business users and engineers, keep details calm, and protect fixed-scope delivery.
- Japanese business communication
- English working communication
- Software or SaaS delivery experience
- Strong writing and follow-up
- Comfort managing ambiguity without drama
What you will not do
This role is not ceremony for ceremony's sake. The value is visible coordination that helps engineers build and buyers decide.
- No meeting bloat
- No vague status updates
- No hiding scope risk
- No final handover scramble
