Project Manager (Hybrid Bangalore)

💰 ₹8L to ₹12L CTC 📍 Bangalore, Hybrid 🕒 Full-time

Help us redefine how platforms get built

At Commutatus, we build platforms fast, thoughtfully, and with a strong sense of ownership.

Since 2015, we’ve helped organisations across 20+ industries take ideas from concept to launch. Our clients trust us because we understand the bigger picture, move quickly, and care about the quality of what we deliver.

We’re looking for a Project Manager who can bring clarity to complex projects, work confidently with clients and teams, and help us deliver great products without chaos.

Is this you?

Do you enjoy taking unclear requirements and turning them into a clear plan?

Can you keep clients, developers, designers, QA, and leadership aligned?

Are you comfortable managing timelines, scope, priorities, budgets, and expectations?

Can you lead a project with confidence, especially when things are moving fast or not fully defined?

If yes, this role could be a great fit.

About Commutatus

Commutatus is a digital product studio that builds custom platforms for startups, corporates, social organisations, and growing businesses worldwide. We’ve worked with organisations like AIESEC , Rajasthan Royals , and many others to build CRMs, LMS platforms, mobile apps, internal tools, analytics systems, and AI-powered workflows.

Our vision is to bring tomorrow closer to today. We do this by understanding our clients’ goals, thinking beyond just requirements, and becoming their trusted tech partner.

Our in-house framework, Catalyst , helps us build scalable platforms and features in days rather than weeks or months. It’s not uncommon for us to brainstorm a platform on Monday and have it live by Friday.

As a Project Manager , you’ll be responsible for driving software projects from planning to delivery.

This is not just a coordination role. You’ll be expected to manage clients, teams, project scope, timelines, budgets, risks, and delivery quality.

You may not always have a team formally reporting to you, but you will still need strong leadership skills. You’ll lead through clarity, communication, follow-up, decision-making, and accountability.

Your job will be to make sure everyone knows what needs to happen, why it matters, who owns it, and what moves next.

Why you’ll enjoy working here

You’ll work closely with leadership: You’ll get direct exposure to founders, senior leaders, and decision-makers, and see how product, delivery, clients, and business decisions come together.

You’ll work on meaningful products: Our projects cut across industries, geographies, and problem statements. You could be working on a CRM, LMS, analytics platform, internal tool, AI workflow, or mobile-first product, depending on the project.

You’ll learn how platforms are built end-to-end: You’ll be involved from requirement discovery and planning to execution, testing, release, and client handover.

You’ll move fast, but thoughtfully: We like building quickly, but not at the cost of quality, user value, or delivery discipline.

You’ll be trusted to take ownership: We’re a lean team with few layers. People are trusted to take responsibility, solve problems, and move things forward.

You’ll have room to grow: This role can grow into delivery leadership, product management, client strategy, business operations, or account ownership, depending on where you shine.

You’ll be heard: If you see a better way, we’re all ears. We’re always looking to improve how we work and are happy to support internal improvement projects that carry weight.
