[Hiring] Project Manager @Bolder Apps

Role Description

We're hiring a mid-senior Project Manager (Shopify) on a remote monthly retainer. This is for an agency PM who has managed projects for Shopify store builds and theme development:

• Work at an agency serving different merchants and brands.
• Build and maintain Shopify solutions across many client accounts.
• Deal with the end client and manage the internal team.
• Run multiple Shopify projects at once.
• Bring a solid understanding of how Shopify is structured and how it works.

Responsibilities

• Manage Shopify store build and theme development projects for client merchants and brands, often several at the same time.
• Be the day-to-day owner facing the end client: scope, timelines, status, and hard trade-offs in clear English.
• Manage the internal team (developers, designers, QA) so tickets, priorities, and blockers stay honest.
• Translate merchant and brand goals into phased Shopify work that the team can actually ship.
• Use real Shopify literacy (themes, apps, checkout, content, go-live constraints) to challenge fake estimates and spot launch risk early.
• Run kickoff through launch for store builds and ongoing theme maintenance across different brands.
• Keep US clients updated in writing and on live calls during agreed Eastern Time overlap.
• Use AI tools to draft plans, tickets, status updates, and risk notes, then review the output yourself before it reaches a client.
• Leave clean handoff docs so another PM or engineer can pick up without archaeology.

Qualifications

• Agency Shopify PM experience: Managed projects for Shopify store builds and theme development inside an agency.
• Volume and multi-project: Run multiple Shopify client projects simultaneously while keeping deadlines honest.
• End-client ownership: Comfortable dealing directly with merchants, founders, or brand stakeholders.
• Internal team leadership: Manage developers and designers day to day with clear tickets and status.
• Shopify literacy: Solid understanding of how Shopify is structured and how it works.
• Delivery tools: Comfortable with Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana, or similar.
• AI-augmented workflow: Use ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or similar to enhance plans and communication.
• English at C1 or above: Client calls and written updates in your voice.
• US hours overlap: Available through roughly 5 PM EST for live client coordination.
• Ownership habits: Honest timelines, early blockers, finished launches.

Benefits

• Fully remote and async-friendly, with required overlap through ~5 PM EST for client sessions.
• Monthly retainer structure with recurring Shopify client work for PMs who keep multi-brand launches calm.
• Real autonomy over how you structure delivery and communication.
• Direct line to developers, designers, and decision-makers.
• Tooling budget for the PM and AI tools you need to move fast.
• A peer network of product-minded builders across overlapping client projects.
