About Karat

Karat is the world's largest interviewing company. We provide a powerful system for technical leaders at companies like PayPal, Atlassian, and Citi who want to take control of how they hire top engineers, elevate their teams and contractors, and stay ahead.

Requirements & Eligibility

• 5+ years managing complex program or project plans for enterprise clients, ideally including regulated industries like financial services
• Experience owning documentation-heavy, multi-stakeholder engagements, including statements of work, change orders, and technical design documents, not just task tracking
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills; comfort coordinating across US and India time zones
• A high-ownership, self-directed working style: you resolve issues rather than simply route them
• Familiarity with project management tooling such as Rocketlane, Smartsheet, or Asana
• Prior experience at a consulting or professional services firm, or in an enterprise SaaS delivery organization, preferred
• Based in India, with approximately 50 percent overlap with US business hours
• Position is only available to candidates residing in Bengaluru (formerly known as Bangalore)

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the project plan for your assigned account(s), including milestones, task tracking, and scheduling across internal and external stakeholders, and report clearly on delivery progress and account health for internal stakeholders.
• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for client project managers and coordinators, building strong working relationships.
• Coordinate logistics for in-person meetings, stakeholder syncs, executive business reviews, and account events, across US and India time zones.
• Own project-related documentation, including statements of work, change orders, functional and technical design documents, and contract approval workflows.
• Support the Delivery Partner on operational execution: surface risks and blockers early, and recommend solutions.
• Triage day-to-day project tickets and issues, resolving what you can and looping in the Delivery Partner or Solutions Engineer as needed.
• Help build this practice as one of Karat's first dedicated Project Managers: create onboarding materials, documentation templates, and standard operating practices, and share lessons across accounts as the team grows.
