Job Description - Junior Project Manager - SaaS (Growth Path to Product Manager)


Role Overview

NxaTel is looking for a Junior Project Manager who will grow into a Product Manager role over time. This role is ideal for a structured, curious, and driven individual who enjoys coordinating work, solving problems, and turning ideas into execution.

In the early phase, the role is project\- and execution\-focused. Over time, as the individual gains deeper understanding of our products, customers, and operations, the role will evolve into owning and shaping products across the business.

This is a hands\-on role with real responsibility and a clear growth path.







Key Responsibilities (Junior Project Manager Phase)

1. Project Coordination & Execution



  • Track internal projects, tasks, and timelines across teams (technical, support, vendors).


  • Follow up with stakeholders to ensure tasks are completed on time.


  • Identify blockers early and escalate clearly.


  • Maintain project plans, task boards, and status updates.


  • Prepare weekly project status reports for management.


2. Requirements & Documentation



  • Work with internal teams to understand business and customer requirements.


  • Document requirements clearly and simply (what needs to be done and why).


  • Ensure alignment between business needs and technical execution.


  • Maintain basic documentation for projects and internal processes.


3. Cross\-Team Collaboration



  • Coordinate between support, technical teams, and management.


  • Ensure clear communication and handovers between teams.


  • Help translate technical information into business\-friendly language.


4. Product & Customer Exposure



  • Assist in gathering customer feedback and recurring issues from support and operations.


  • Track common requests, complaints, and improvement opportunities.


  • Support internal teams with product\-related information and updates.


Growth Path: Transition to Product Manager

Over 6–12 months, the role will gradually expand to include:



  • Owning specific products or product components end\-to\-end.


  • Helping define product improvements based on customer feedback and operational insights.


  • Supporting product roadmap planning and prioritisation.


  • Working closely with technical and support leadership to improve product quality and usability.


  • Monitoring basic product performance metrics and trends.


This growth is performance\-based and depends on demonstrated ownership, initiative, and reliability.


Requirements

Qualifications & Profile

Required:



  • Diploma or degree (completed or in progress) in Business, IT, Engineering, Operations, or a related field.


  • Strong organisational and follow\-up skills.


  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.


  • Clear written and verbal communication.


  • Comfortable working with structure, checklists, and task tracking tools.


  • Willingness to learn and take ownership.


Nice to Have:



  • Exposure to project coordination, operations, or product\-related work.
