Senior Project Manager (IoT projects)

Job description - In short

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our PM team and lead mobile and web projects for IoT, wearables, and connected devices. You'll be the single point of contact for our US-based clients and the person holding a cross-functional team together day to day. This is a permanent role: B2B contract, monthly salary, full benefits, and a team that has been doing this since 2008.

Why intent?

We've been designing and co-creating connected devices since 2008. Wearables, smart audio, health-tech hardware for clients like Oura and BOSE, backed by investors like a16z and Founders Fund. We're 60+ people, fully remote, and AI-native since before LinkedIn influencers discovered the term. Our PMs don't manage Jira tickets, they own projects: scoping, staffing, client conversations, trade-offs, and the day-to-day rhythm that makes a connected product actually ship.

Who this role is NOT for

If you like running stand-ups by the book, sending status updates, and waiting for someone else to make the hard calls, we're probably not your people. We look for PMs who ask "why" before "how", challenge specs that don't add up, and walk into a room full of ambiguity ready to create structure. We're AI-native and we expect you to treat AI as a daily multiplier, not a gimmick. What we expect: ownership of your project end to end, straight talk with clients and the team, and the kind of curiosity that makes you actually care about what the device does, not just whether the sprint closes on time.

What you'll do

• Be the single point of contact for our US-based clients: great communicator, diplomat, and when needed, negotiator

• Manage web and mobile projects end to end: discovery, scoping, launch, and what comes after

• Lead a cross-functional squad of designers, developers, QA, and other PMs

• Run Scrum ceremonies, plan sprints, manage backlogs, timelines, budgets, and project health

• Co-create product vision with clients: features, MVP strategy, the smartest way to deliver value

• Lead staffing and resource planning with other chapters

• Push for better ways of working, inside your squad and across the company

• Use AI tools as part of your daily workflow, not as a party trick
  

How we work

Fully remote. We have a pet-friendly office in Warsaw and a coworking space in Gdansk if walls and coffee machines motivate you, but nobody will ask why you're not there. Working hours are flexible: most of the team operates between 10:00 and 18:00 CET, and that's when most meetings happen. Evening calls with US-based clients (typically 16:00-20:00 CET, around 2-3 per week) are a normal part of the PM role here, always planned ahead. You'll be part of the PM chapter for knowledge-sharing, and at the same time leading your own project squad day to day.

What you'll get

• 17,000-23,000 PLN/month net B2B, depending on your experience

• 26 days of paid leave

• 10 days of paid sick leave

• Saltus medical care

• Self-development budget (2,000 PLN or 500 USD/year)

• Truly flexible hours: you organize your day

• Fully remote, with pet-friendly Warsaw office + Gdansk cowork if you want them

• All necessary equipment provided

• Internal knowledge-sharing: tech talks, team sessions, library and conference budgets
  

Your first months

We aim to give you space to ramp up before owning a full project, but this is a real company with real deadlines: if a squad needs you sooner, we'll make sure you have the support to hit the ground running. You'll get paired with a buddy, meet the team, and start with real tasks while being guided by your team and leadership. Monthly HR check-ins, real feedback after month two, and a proper review after month three: if things feel great on both sides, you're officially part of the crew. No one waits three months to tell you something isn't working: if it's great, you'll know; if something needs adjusting, you'll hear about it while there's still time to adjust.

Recruitment process

The entire process is in English. All interviews are recorded for internal evaluation purposes.

1. Application with a few screening questions

2. HR call, ~45 min, casual

3. Short take-home task (~60 min)

4. Technical meeting, ~90 min, with the Head of PM and COO

5. Final feedback within a few days

Once we're in touch, you'll hear from us fast. We don't ghost and we don't drag.

One more thing

intent is an equal opportunity employer. We care about what you can do, not where you come from. Send us your CV and a few words about why this caught your eye. Bonus points if you share a project you led that you're proud of, ideally one where the delivery was harder than the spec suggested.

Job requirements

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of project management

• Hands-on experience delivering custom software projects from scratch to release

• Previous experience working in a software house environment

• Comfort with hardware-meets-software trade-offs (firmware delays, OTA, certifications)

• Solid Agile foundations, especially Scrum

• Ability to step into a Scrum Master or Product Owner role if the project needs it

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset

• English at C1+ (written and spoken), because our clients are US-based and you'll be the one in the room

• Creativity, great communication skills, and a genuine interest in tech, not just process

• Alignment with intent's values: openness, ownership, and always learning
  

Nice to have

• Previous experience in IoT, wearables, or connected-device projects

• Experience with US-based clients and their delivery expectations

• Genuine curiosity about the devices your team is building, not just the timeline they're on
