Operations Manager Startup Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Overview

Mesh is looking for a Project Manager to be the operational backbone of our most complex, high-stakes customer integrations.

For our most strategic customers, we deploy a three-person leadership pod: a Strategic Account Manager who navigates the client's business, a Product Manager who architects the technical solution, and you - the person who makes sure all of it actually ships.

This is not a note-taking role. At its core, your mandate is to maintain an airtight, living record of every commitment we've made to our largest customers - and to know, at any moment, exactly where each one stands. You'll own the operational heartbeat of each integration: transforming tangled cross-functional dependencies into a clear, executable path to launch, and driving relentless accountability for who does what next.

Because we're a fast-moving startup, we hold everyone on the team to an entrepreneurial standard. We're looking for someone who doesn't just manage work - they actively automate it. You should be building systems, templates, and tooling that give you 10x leverage, so you can operate at the scale of a team of one without anything slipping through the cracks.

If you're the kind of person who stays three steps ahead, thrives in ambiguity, and instinctively reaches for a script or a workflow when something feels manual - this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

• Drive the Log: You are the ultimate owner of the deployment timeline. You maintain absolute clarity on every internal and external dependency, holding both Mesh and the client's teams accountable to the schedule.
• Enable Engineering Velocity: You act as the translation layer between project milestones and engineering execution. You take the solutions designed by our Product team and turn them into precise, highly organized tickets, ensuring our developers have exactly what they need to build without distraction.
• Coordinate the Pod: You work in lockstep with the Strategic Account Manager and Product Manager. While they figure out what to build and who to influence, you ensure the actual work gets sequenced, assigned, and delivered on time.
• High Leverage & Automation: You ruthlessly optimize and automate your own operational workflows. You utilize modern tools (AI, Zapier, scripts, advanced Jira automations) to scale your output, minimizing manual administrative work so you can focus on proactively unblocking the team.

Who You Are 

• 3+ years of project management experience in a fast-paced B2B SaaS, fintech, or technical software startup, including experience working with enterprise clients
• Entrepreneurial Drive: You are a self-starter with a demonstrated history of taking initiative. You thrive in ambiguity and take absolute ownership of your outcomes.
• Relentless Organization: You are a force of operational nature. You obsess over the details, sweat the edge cases, and ensure absolutely nothing slips through the cracks.
• Execution Focus: You take pride in driving a project to completion. You are comfortable running stand-ups, managing Jira boards, and holding cross-functional peers accountable to their deadlines.
• Technical Literacy: While you do not need to write code or architect systems, you are highly comfortable working in a technical, API-first environment and can translate project phases into actionable engineering tasks.
