Development Project Manager (Fully Remote)

Pine Hosting is hiring a Development Project Manager to join us on a fully remote contractor basis.

This role is mainly focused on keeping development moving forward. We are looking for someone highly organised, systematic, and confident at turning ideas, feedback, and owner decisions into clear tasks, notes, follow ups, and priorities.

You will work closely with the owners, developers, support staff, and marketing team to make sure work is properly planned, clearly communicated, and followed through.

A big part of the role is helping staff set goals, tracking progress, taking notes, relaying updates to the owners, and making sure nothing important gets lost across chats, calls, or internal discussions.

This is not a coding role, but experience working around developers, technical projects, software, hosting, or gaming products is strongly preferred.

• Show relevant project management, coordination, operations, or technical team experience
