Project Management Associate

We are bringing on a Project Management Associate to help us coordinate a large-scale project for a Munich-based industrial client. Pixel Systems specializes in the software that actually runs businesses, and right now, we are helping this industrial partner move away from fragmented spreadsheets into a centralized, stable database system. This is a chance to learn how software projects are actually delivered in a professional, remote setting without the typical corporate fluff.

About Pixel Systems

Pixel Systems is a small, remote software agency that builds practical tools. We avoid the flashy side of tech like marketing sites or consumer apps. Our focus is on admin panels, CRM integrations, and database migrations. We value working code over complex plans that never ship. Every project we do is based on a fixed quote with weekly demos to ensure transparency. We are a fully remote team that prioritizes stability, using reliable tools like Node, React, and Postgres to solve real operational headaches for our clients. When something breaks, we are the ones who answer the phone and fix it.

The Role

As a Project Management Associate, your primary focus will be keeping our engagement with the Munich-based industrial client moving forward. This is a fully remote position where you will spend your time organizing the weekly rhythm of the project. You will help translate client needs into clear tasks for our developers, ensure that our weekly demos show real progress, and manage the documentation that we hand over at the end of every project. This role is not about managing people, but about managing the flow of information. You will make sure that every piece of the project, from the initial database schema to the final user interface, is documented and understood by both the client and our team. This includes writing clear guides and helping record the walkthrough videos we provide to clients so they know exactly how their new system works.

What we need from you

We are looking for someone who is organized and enjoys bringing order to complex situations. You do not need to be a senior project manager to succeed here, as this is an entry level role designed for someone starting their career. You should be able to write clearly and explain technical concepts in plain English. Since we work directly with clients, being professional and reliable in your communication is essential. You should be comfortable asking questions when things are unclear and have a basic understanding of how software is built and delivered. Being able to track multiple tasks without letting things fall through the cracks is the most important skill you can bring to this role. We value people who are dependable and prefer direct communication over corporate jargon.

Helpful background

It is helpful if you have some familiarity with the tools we use to manage our work, such as GitHub for tracking tasks or basic documentation tools. An interest in how APIs and databases function will help you communicate better with our engineering team, though you do not need to be a developer yourself. If you have experience with spreadsheets, basic data organization, or have worked on a small team before, you will find those skills very useful here. Familiarity with project tracking software or even just a strong personal system for staying organized is a big plus. This position is a paid role, and the compensation is competitive for the entry-level market.

Working at Pixel Systems

Working here means you are part of a small team where everyone's contribution is visible. There are no layers of middle management to navigate. We focus on shipping software that helps real people, like the teams at our Munich-based industrial client who rely on our tools to manage their daily operations. We value a calm work environment where the focus is on doing good work rather than chasing the latest industry trends. Because we are a remote team, we rely on clear, asynchronous communication and trust each other to get things done. You will get to see the full lifecycle of a software project, from the first meeting to the final handover of the code.

We take pride in being the team that fixes the hard, boring problems that others avoid. Our culture is straightforward: we do what we say we will do, we ship on time, and we provide everything the client needs to succeed long after our work is done. We are looking for someone who shares this practical approach to work and wants to help us build tools that people actually use every day.
