Senior Project Manager

About Attimo

Attimo is Italian for “moment” – a single, irreducible instant.

It comes from the Latin atomus, the indivisible unit from which everything is built – and, by extension, the smallest unit of time. 

We chose this name because modern life is made of moments that are constantly interrupted. Time and attention have become the scarcest resources people have. Attimo exists to give them back.

We build cognitively ergonomic products – AI systems shaped around human capabilities and limitations, instead of forcing people to adapt to machines. Our work starts from one belief: if information were organised in a way that fits how our minds work, people could think more clearly, decide more confidently, and create more boldly.

Attimo’s mission is to architect products that respect the mind: tools that reduce cognitive noise, surface what truly matters, and create more meaningful, focused time in people’s lives. Over time, we envision a trusted digital ally for every person – an invisible layer that handles the information flood in the background so humans can focus on what only humans can do.

We are building this with a clear set of principles: radical honesty and transparency, idea meritocracy where the best ideas win, extreme ownership of outcomes, and a bias for thoughtful experimentation. We work as small, autonomous teams with high standards, long‑term thinking, and deep respect for both emerging technology and human limits.

Attimo is an early‑stage, product‑driven company. We are designing at the frontier of human–AI collaboration and inviting people who want their work to matter - to their craft, to the people who use our products, and to the world that will live with them – so we stay in the moment.

Why this role exists

Our first product's promise is powerful but demanding: it needs a clear strategy, disciplined execution, and a sharp understanding of how our work turns into real value.

This role exists to:

1. Turn vision and strategy into concrete plans, timelines, and responsibilities .
2. Build the light, intelligent operating system that keeps Attimo focused as we grow.
3. Connect projects to numbers – modelling cost, value, efficiency, and risk so we invest time and capital wisely.

You will be the bridge between product, engineering, operations, and finance.

What you will do

1. Delivery & project management

• Own the planning and delivery of key product and company initiatives.
• Break the strategy into roadmaps, milestones, and workstreams, with clear owners and a definition of “done”.

• Manage scope, risks, and dependencies; make trade‑offs explicit and keep priorities honest.
• Maintain single sources of truth for plans, decisions, and status .

2. Finance, analytics & decision support

• Build and maintain financial and operational models : budgets, burn, runway, and scenario plans.
• Help define key metrics and value drivers (unit economics, cost per feature area, ROI of initiatives).
• Partner with the CEO to connect product bets and hiring plans to financial impact.
• Prepare clear, concise materials for investors and partners, including metrics packs, dashboards, and written analyses.
• Use data (product analytics + financial data) to guide prioritisation and identify efficiency gains.

3. Systems, operations & product enablement

• Design and refine our ways of working to be simple, transparent, and scalable.
• Translate PMI / APM concepts (WBS, risk registers, dependency maps, stage gates) into templates, document structures, and workflows.
• Support hiring and onboarding: role scorecards, interview loops, and documentation.
• Over time, build and mentor a small operations / PM team as the company grows.

• PMI (PMP, PgMP, CAPM) or
• APM (PMQ, PPQ) or equivalent certification/education.

Nice to have
