Project Manager

Asymmetric Research:

Asymmetric Research is a specialized security firm focused on long-term, integrated partnerships with L1/L2 blockchains and DeFi protocols. We help teams build resilient systems, strengthen security posture, and proactively address emerging threats.

Culture:

AR is a fully remote organization and members of our team have been strongly committed to open-source values for decades, having worked at organizations with deep open-source roots and strong security programs including Google, Netflix, Mozilla, Stripe, and Jump Crypto. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality, trust, and professionalism.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Project Manager to support the delivery of Asymmetric Research’s professional services security portfolio. In this role, you will work alongside client engagement, running security programs from kickoff through delivery. You will be the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks: meetings are captured, action items have owners, tasks reflect reality, and our engineers have what they need to focus on the work.

Responsibilities:

• Support client engagements by owning assigned tasks within each engagement and following established processes and instructions.
• Keep the engagement’s task current and accurate, so the team and leadership always have a reliable view of delivery status.
• Take notes in client and internal meetings, capture clear action items with owners and next steps, and follow up until they are closed.
• Monitor the client Slack channel and follow up on anything that needs attention (questions, risks, blockers, or signs of customer disengagement).
• Reduce administrative overhead for AR engineers by handling meeting scheduling, tracking access requests, and making sure customer requests are recorded and ready to be picked up.
• Help prepare regular status updates for AR leadership and stakeholders.
• Observe customer meetings to learn how we build trust and manage stakeholder relationships.
• Learn and apply AR’s policies, tooling, and delivery processes.

Requirements:

• 1–3 years of experience in project coordination, operations, or a similar role in a technical environment (internships and co-ops count).
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail. You keep track of loose ends and close them out.
• Clear written communication, including accurate meeting notes and concise status updates.
• Proactive about communication. You share status without being asked, ask clarifying questions, and ask for help when you are blocked.
• Be collaborative and coachable. You actively seek feedback from peers and managers and apply it.
• Curiosity about security and a genuine interest in learning how technical programs are delivered.

Nice to have:

• Entry-level project management certification (CAPM, Google Project Management Certificate, Scrum Fundamentals, etc).
• Experience with project management and collaboration tools.
• Exposure to customer-facing work in any capacity.
• Technical coursework or background (Computer Science, Software Development, Security, etc), or familiarity with blockchain ecosystems.

Benefits:

• 25+ days of paid time off
• Comprehensive stipends for home office, wellbeing, professional development, and more
• Pension/401(k) programs
• Life insurance
• Premium healthcare
• Competitive base salary
• Lucrative bonus programs
