About Us

Nolo Apps designs and builds Airtable applications that streamline ecommerce and retail operations, from product data and development to purchasing, shipments, and everyday workflows.

Our work spans two connected areas:

• Delivery: hands-on client projects and tailored builds
• Product: configurable templates that form the foundation for delivery

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our Delivery team and help bring structure, momentum, and clarity to client projects as we grow.

About the RoleLuxury fashion brand launches 40 SKUs a month. Their production tracking? A shared Excel file and prayer.Streetwear label hits £10M revenue. Their purchasing system? Email chains and post-it notes.

This is where we come in.

Nolo Apps builds operational systems for product brands moving too fast for spreadsheets but too creative for enterprise bloat. We turn chaos into clarity using Airtable - and we need a Project Manager who can orchestrate delivery.

Your Mission

You're the delivery engine for 2-4 live transformation projects at once. One brand might be building its first proper product development workflow. Another automating their entire sample approval process. A third is connecting purchasing to live inventory numbers.

Your job? Develop quality plans and manage timelines effectively. Own client communication. Carry the mental load of delivery so Solution Architects can design and Developers can build without distraction. You will implement the kind of structure that allows the team to do their best work, creating insanely effective apps and automations for brands on a mission.

A typical day might include:

• Sequencing sprint work so devs can lock in without context-switching
• Running a client check-in that keeps everyone aligned on the project (so the architects don't have to)
• Spotting a resourcing gap before it becomes a crisis, and finding a solution
• Managing expectations when the proposed scope meets the deliverable reality
• Creating the project clarity that lets a Solution Architect focus on genuine problem-solving

What we're after:

Someone who brings structure that liberates, not stifles

A shield between brilliant technical work and delivery noise

A person who spots risks early and deals with them

Someone organised enough to juggle multiple transformations without dropping any balls

The path forward: Success here means Solution Architects who have space to think, developers who ship without interruption, and clients who feel completely looked after.
