Project Manager

About Lazo

Lazo is a B2B platform that manages essential back-office functions for founders operating US entities, including tax, bookkeeping, legal support, and payroll. The company is a fast-scaling, fully remote team that blends expert services with technology to remove operational burden so founders can stay focused on building their businesses.

The team is working toward an AI-first operating approach, where technology handles repetitive tasks and people concentrate on judgment, expertise, and client-facing work. This Project Manager position is a key part of making that transition happen.

Role overview

The Project Manager will help move cross-functional work forward across operations and product. This person will turn business needs into structured plans, keep initiatives on track, and make sure projects are completed and closed out properly. It is a hands-on ownership role rather than a purely administrative coordination job.

What you'll do

• Lead projects from initiation through completion, converting requirements into practical plans and owning delivery end to end.
• Coordinate daily execution by managing priorities, monitoring progress, and clearing blockers between teams.
• Maintain strong visibility across initiatives by keeping status updates current, including what is completed, blocked, and next in line.
• Facilitate regular operating rhythms such as standups, planning sessions, and retrospectives, ensuring each meeting produces clear actions and owners.
• Keep documentation accurate and well organized so processes, decisions, and knowledge are easy to access.
• Track important metrics and prepare concise updates for leadership.

What we're looking for

• A startup-oriented mindset with a strong sense of ownership and independence; when issues arise, you resolve them or escalate them quickly.
• Excellent reliability and organization, with the ability to keep work under control and see tasks through to completion.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to connect technical and non-technical stakeholders clearly and honestly.
• Prior experience in project management, operations, or coordination within fast-moving environments.
• Comfort with modern project management tools and a willingness to use technology to improve efficiency.
• Genuine interest in AI and how AI tools can increase output and reshape how an operations team works.

Nice to have

• Background in fintech, SaaS, or professional services.
• Strong English fluency, since the role involves working with US-based clients.
• Exposure to structured operating frameworks used for planning and execution.
