What a nearshore Project Manager does for you
A good project manager turns a plan into a delivered result. They break the work into tasks, set the timeline, line up the right people, and keep everyone, from your engineers to your clients, looking at the same picture of what's done and what's next.
Project management depends on live conversation: stand-ups, quick decisions, a call when something slips. That's why time zone matters so much for this role. A nearshore project manager is online during your business day, joins your meetings without starting at midnight, and can chase an answer the same afternoon instead of the next morning.
We place project managers in software and IT, marketing and agencies, construction support, operations and professional services. Tell us which methods your team uses (Agile, Scrum, Kanban, waterfall or a mix) and we'll screen for that experience.
Skills we vet for
- Clear written and spoken English
- Experience with Agile and Scrum, waterfall, or both
- Planning, estimating and budget tracking
- Risk and issue management
- Stakeholder and client communication
- Facilitating meetings and decisions
- Organized, detail-minded follow-through
- Certifications such as PMP, CAPM or PSM (a plus)
Tools they work in
- Jira
- Asana
- Monday.com
- ClickUp
- Trello
- Smartsheet
- Microsoft Project
- Confluence
- Notion
- Slack
- Microsoft Teams
- Google Workspace
Use something else? Tell us, and we will screen for it.

Hiring a remote Project Manager: questions
Can a remote project manager really lead a U.S. team?
Yes. Most project work already happens in shared tools and video calls. Because a nearshore project manager works during your business hours, they join the same meetings and respond as quickly as someone down the hall.
Do your project managers have certifications?
Many candidates hold certifications such as PMP, CAPM or a Scrum credential, but we screen first for real delivery experience. If a certification is required for your role, tell us and we'll only present candidates who have it.
What kinds of projects can they manage?
We recruit for software and IT projects, website and marketing projects, operations and process improvement, and other professional services. We match the candidate's background to your type of work.
How long does it take to hire a project manager?
It depends on the seniority and the skills you need. On the strategy call we'll give you a realistic timeline for your role before we start.
Will they work full time and only for us?
Our placements are full-time team members dedicated to your company and working your schedule, not freelancers splitting time between clients.
