Project Manager

Marklytics India Private Limited | Chennai (Hybrid) | Full-time | 3–5 years

About Marklytics

Marklytics builds Digital Product Passport (DPP), product traceability, LCA, and regulatory compliance platforms for global manufacturers.

The role

You'll manage day-to-day delivery of client programmes, from kickoff to go-live. You'll turn regulatory and technical scopes into clear plans and keep our Chennai engineering team shipping on schedule. You'll also be the link between UK leadership, automotive clients, and engineers in India. This is an early hire, so you'll help shape how we run delivery as we grow.

What you'll do

• Manage delivery for multiple concurrent client projects: plans, milestones, risks, and quality.
• Break SOWs and regulatory requirements into release plans and sprint backlogs with the tech lead.
• Coordinate delivery across our multi-tenant SaaS platform and client-specific on-premise deployments.
• Run agile ceremonies for the Chennai engineering team, and make the most of the UK–India overlap window for decisions and reviews.
• Serve as day-to-day contact for client programme teams, handling status reports, meetings, and change requests, and escalating commercial matters to leadership.
• Coordinate data integrations with client and supplier systems (ERP, MES, supplier data feeds).
• Support pre-sales with effort estimates and timelines.
• Keep RAID logs, delivery dashboards, and documentation audit-ready, in line with our ISO/SOC 2 controls.
• Help set up delivery processes, templates, and tooling from the ground up.

What we're looking for

• 3–5 years of project management experience, preferably in automotive or auto-component manufacturing.
• Hands-on delivery of IT, digital, or software projects in a manufacturing environment, such as MES, ERP, PLM, supplier portals, or plant digitisation.
• Working knowledge of how automotive OEMs and suppliers operate: supplier onboarding, PPAP and quality documentation, BOM structures, and procurement cycles.
• Experience managing client or OEM stakeholders, including status reporting, escalations, and change control.
• Comfort with Agile delivery and tools like Jira or ClickUp.
• Enough technical fluency to follow APIs, data flows, and cloud platforms, and to work credibly with engineers.
• Clear, structured written communication and comfort with startup ambiguity.

Nice to have

• Exposure to EV or battery manufacturing, cell and pack supply chains, or battery management data.
• Familiarity with EU Battery Regulation, Digital Product Passports, LCA, or India's BPAN.
• Experience coordinating with international OEMs (EU, Japan, Vietnam, or similar).
• Background in sustainability, traceability, or compliance projects.
• PMP, PRINCE2, CSM, or an equivalent certification.
