Roles Description
We’re looking for a Project Manager
with experience in software or product development who thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments. This role isn’t about enforcing a rigid methodology—it’s about defining and running an agile process that works for AXL: structured enough to keep multiple teams on track, but flexible enough to adapt to rapid prototyping and iteration.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and execute an agile-inspired process tailored to AXL Labs’ software development environment.
- Manage parallel development projects to ensure milestones and deliverables are met.
- Coordinate across design, engineering, and founder stakeholders.
- Implement project management software and dashboards (GitHub Projects, Jira, Asana) to track progress and increase transparency.
- Support R&D credit (SR&ED) documentation by ensuring proper tracking and reporting.
- Continuously refine workflows to balance speed, quality, and learning.
- Develop a repeatable project management framework that can be adopted by AXL’s portfolio companies as they scale.
What We’re Looking For
- 4+ years of project management experience in software or product development.
- Strong understanding of agile principles, with the ability to adapt rather than rigidly apply them.
- Excellent communication and organizational skills.
- Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (GitHub Projects, Jira, Asana).
- Comfort working in a high-velocity, startup environment.
- Experience with SR&ED or similar innovation programs is a plus.
Why Join AXL?
- Help shape the processes that power the creation of Canada’s next generation of AI companies.
- Shape not only AXL’s internal processes but also a framework that will guide the next generation of AI startups launched by our studio.
- Collaborate with a talented team of engineers, designers, and founders.
- Work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and real-world product impact.
- Be part of a venture studio that values human-centric AI, creativity, and relentless improvement.
