MacPaw is a software company that develops and distributes software for macOS and iOS. Today, we have 20 million active users across all our products.

The support and development of Ukraine are significant parts of the company’s culture. MacPaw gathers open-minded people who support each other and aspire to change the world around us.
MacPaw is growing its Program Management function - and this is where you come in. As a Project Manager in the Program Management team, you’ll report to the Program Manager and own execution of discrete projects within our company-level programs. These programs sit at the intersection of software delivery and organizational effectiveness: improving how our product teams plan and operate, strengthening cross-functional alignment, and building the internal systems that keep MacPaw’s strategy moving.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to run a single product team. It’s for someone who understands how software teams work - and is just as comfortable driving a process rollout, improving a governance framework, or getting a company-wide OKR cycle over the finish line.
If you’re ready to turn strategic vision into tangible organizational impact, we’d love to have you on board.
