Junior Project Manager - Remote Opportunity at Ruby Labs

About the Role

We’re looking for a detail-obsessed Junior Project Manager to join our dynamic team at Ruby Labs. This Junior Project Manager role offers an exciting opportunity to work remotely while contributing to innovative consumer products across health, education, and entertainment industries. You will play a crucial role in transforming high-level requirements into actionable tasks that keep our team moving fast.

What You'll Do

• Own task breakdown: Take feature requirements and break them into clear, actionable tasks that developers, data analysts, or other teams can execute without confusion.
• Manage the backlog: Maintain a 7-day forward-looking backlog at all times, ensuring the team always knows what’s next.
• Ensure task quality: Every task you create must include Why (business reason), What (exact requirements), Acceptance Criteria (how we know it’s done), Definition of Done (technical checklist), and corner cases covered.
• Work with the Project Owner: Translate high-level product strategy into detailed execution plans.
• Keep everything tracked: 100% of tasks live in our task management system – zero work happens outside the system.
• Achieve 90%+ quality rate: Your tasks should rarely need revisions because they’re complete and clear from the start.

Requirements

• 1–2 years in project coordination, product operations, or task management roles.
• Hands-on experience with task management tools (Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Linear, or similar).
• Proven ability to write clear, detailed documentation or task descriptions.
• Track record of working in structured, process-driven environments.
• Exceptional attention to detail – you naturally think about edge cases, corner scenarios, and “what could go wrong”.
• Strong written communication – you can explain complex requirements clearly and concisely without ambiguity.
• Fast learner – you can absorb new processes and frameworks in days, not weeks.
• Structured thinking – you love systems, frameworks, and bringing order to chaos.

Nice to Have

• Experience in tech/digital product companies.
• Familiarity with agile methodologies or sprint planning.
• Basic understanding of software development workflows.
• Previous experience supporting engineering or product teams.

What We Offer

• Remote Work Environment: Embrace the freedom to work from anywhere, anytime, promoting a healthy work-life balance.
• Unlimited PTO: Enjoy unlimited paid time off to recharge and prioritize your well-being, without counting days.
• Paid National Holidays: Celebrate and relax on national holidays with paid time off to unwind and recharge.
• Company-provided MacBook: Experience seamless productivity with top-notch Apple MacBooks provided to all employees who need them.
• Flexible Independent Contractor Agreement: Unlock the benefits of flexibility, autonomy, and entrepreneurial opportunities.
