Project Owner / Project Manager [1/2 - 1/1 FTE]

Kyotu Technology is a close-knit team delivering ambitious tech projects for clients around the world. We partner with startups, scaleups, and enterprises alike to build meaningful, user-focused digital products, mainly for US and Germany-based clients.

We’re currently looking for a versatile Product Owner / Project Manager to join us in one, two, or more upcoming projects. You’ll act as the bridge between the client’s vision and the development team’s delivery, owning the product’s success from kickoff to release.

🚀 What you'll work on

Depending on availability and profile match, you may be involved in one or both of these projects:

1. B2B SaaS platform (California-based client) - You’ll lead communication with the client, take ownership of sprint planning, translate business meetings into clear actionables for the team, and ensure consistent delivery. You’ll need to attend 2–3 meetings per week in the California afternoon / CET evening.

2. Fitness tech platform for athletes (Florida-based client) - You’ll be expected to co-create the product with the client, proactively challenge ideas, define roadmap priorities, and ensure a user-focused delivery. Experience with previous end-to-end product launches is crucial here.

🎯 What we're looking for

We’re searching for someone who:

• Has experience as a PO/PM in at least 2–3 commercial digital product deliveries

• Feels confident working end-to-end, from requirement gathering to go-live

• Is capable of acting as a proxy PO and challenging client assumptions when needed

• Communicates smoothly with both stakeholders and technical teams

• Translates chaos into structure: sprint plans, backlogs, Kanban boards, priorities

• Has a proactive mindset and takes ownership without waiting to be told what to do

• Is fluent in spoken and written English; German is a plus

💡 The ideal candidate

You might be the person we’re looking for if you're a mix of:

• Strategist and executor — someone who thinks like a product owner, but knows how to deliver like a project manager

• Clear communicator — someone who represents the team to the client and vice versa, keeping both sides aligned

• Process geek — who loves improving how teams work: standups, estimations, retros, feedback loops

• Team-first mindset — who leads by example, removes blockers, and builds clarity around every sprint-
