Junior Project Manager
Summary
Junior project manager at a small automation agency that builds custom CRM and ERP systems for clients. Responsibilities include setting and breaking down dev tasks, client communication, requirements gathering, progress reporting, and QA testing on real projects from day one, starting part-time with growth potential.
About us
Duck Agency is an automation agency. We build internal products for clients: CRM and ERP systems tailored to specific business processes. The team is small, the pace is fast, and decisions get made without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Who we're looking for
A Junior Project Manager who understands how project delivery works and wants to grow in that direction. Prior experience isn't required — a bit of hands-on experience or a PM/BA course graduate ready to learn on real projects both work.
What matters most isn't formal "years of experience," but being level-headed, self-driven, and good at working with people — both the dev team and clients.
What you need
Understanding of core project management principles (task setting, prioritization, deadlines, reporting)
Ability to work with a team: set tasks clearly enough that everyone understands them the same way, and keep track of execution
Technical basics: understanding what a database and an API are, and a general sense of how these kinds of systems work (deep technical knowledge isn't required, just the gist)
Languages: Ukrainian/Russian, and English — at a level sufficient for business communication and correspondence
Responsibilities
Setting and breaking down tasks for the dev team
Client communication: meetings, requirements gathering, status updates
Regular reporting on progress (to clients and within the team)
Testing completed tasks before handing them off to the client (checking that what was requested was actually built and works)
Nice to have
Experience with CRM/ERP systems (as a user or part of an implementation)
Basic understanding of no-code/automation tools (Make, n8n)
Conditions
Starting part-time, with growth to full-time based on results
Real projects from day one - no "training" tasks that go nowhere
Room to grow into a full PM role with your own projects
