Organization context: The Remnant Foundation

·       We are dedicated to cultivating a generation grounded in faith, focused on promoting spiritual growth while also striving for success in every aspect of life.

·       The PM will lead a multi-phase initiative aligned with this mission, coordinating design, development, and operations across UI/UX, frontend, backend, and DevOps/QA with outsourced teams to deliver a high-quality digital platform that supports spiritual growth, community engagement, and practical life coaching resources.

Role summary

·       Own end-to-end delivery of a multi-phase product initiative spanning UI/UX design, frontend development (Flutter for mobile, React/Nex.js for web), backend development (Django + PostgreSQL), and DevOps/QA/publishing.

·       Acts as the primary interface between internal stakeholders and all outsourced development teams, ensuring alignment, quality, and on-time releases within budget.

·       Owns product backlog governance, milestone planning, risk management, governance ceremonies, vendor management, and delivery reporting.

Core responsibilities

·       Program governance and planning

o   Define the program scope, milestones, budgets, and success metrics for all five phases.

o   Build and maintain a phased project plan with clear dependencies, critical path, and acceptance criteria.

o   Create and maintain the RACI matrix for the program.

·       Backlog and requirements management

o   Collaborate with product, design, and engineering leads to translate business goals into backlog items, user stories, acceptance criteria, and tangible deliverables.

o   Prioritize across phases to optimize scope, value, and risk, while managing stakeholder expectations.

·       Vendor and team orchestration

o   Recruit, onboard, and manage outsourced development teams; establish SLAs, working agreements, communication cadences, and escalation paths.

·       Delivery cadence and quality assurance

o   Plan and facilitate sprint/iteration cadences (planning, reviews, retrospectives) and ensure timely demos to stakeholders.

o   Enforce quality gates (code quality, testing coverage, performance criteria, security standards, accessibility) and ensure deliverables meet acceptance criteria.

o   Manage risk, scope changes, and issue resolution with transparent reporting.

·       Architecture and technical alignment (through domain leads)

o   While technical motifs are handled by the Technical Leads (Frontend Lead, Backend Lead, UX/UI Lead, DevOps/QA Lead), ensure alignment with overall architecture, API contracts, data models, and design system fidelity.

o   Review high-level architectural decisions, integration points, and cross-team dependencies to prevent siloed work.

·       Stakeholder communication and reporting

o   Provide transparent program updates to executives and stakeholders; prepare dashboards, risk logs, budget burn, and milestone progress.

o   Document decisions, trade-offs, and change requests; maintain a single source of truth for all artifacts.

·       Compliance, risk, and security

o   Ensure compliance with data privacy, security requirements, and IP considerations in vendor agreements.

·       Change management and go-live readiness

o   Coordinate release planning, user training, documentation, and support handoffs.

o   Ensure smooth publishing across platforms and post-release monitoring.
