Indore's Vijay Nagar district also has a Lead IT Project Manager opening, full time, on site, at a software company managing multiple concurrent client engagements. Nine years of experience is the baseline, and this lead role carries end-to-end ownership of project delivery across a portfolio of two to three active projects at any given time, not just one team's sprint cadence.
The role blends hands-on technical involvement with delivery ownership: writing and reviewing application code where needed, collaborating with cross-functional teams on new feature delivery, and fixing bugs alongside the engineering team when a deadline is tight enough that everyone pitches in. This isn't a purely administrative project management role; the lead here is expected to understand the codebase well enough to make realistic timeline calls, not just relay whatever engineering tells them.
Required skills are project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, and genuine fluency in Agile methodologies rather than just the vocabulary. A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and proven proficiency in the tools and frameworks the team actually uses day to day.
Naukri Mitra has listed multiple senior roles from this Indore employer, and this particular lead position has a reputation, according to past hires, for genuinely trusting the project manager's technical judgment rather than treating the role as pure scheduling and status reporting. A lead who pushes back on an unrealistic client deadline, with solid technical reasoning behind the pushback, is more valued here than one who just absorbs pressure and passes it downstream to engineering.
Interviews include a scenario round on managing competing project priorities and a technical conversation to confirm real engineering fluency, not just PM vocabulary. Candidates who can walk through a specific instance of renegotiating scope with a client, and how that conversation actually went, tend to do well.
The Indore office itself is a fairly typical mid-size setup, with the Software Development team sharing space with a couple of other functions rather than occupying a dedicated floor. That layout means visibility works both ways: good work gets noticed by people outside the immediate team faster than it might at a larger, more siloed employer, and so do mistakes.
One recurring theme in retrospectives here is that timelines slip less from bad estimates and more from scope quietly growing mid-project without anyone formally acknowledging it, and a lead project manager who catches that drift early, and names it explicitly to stakeholders, tends to avoid the worst version of a late delivery.
The current portfolio for this role includes one project that's running comfortably ahead of schedule and one that's genuinely behind, and the hiring manager has said openly that managing both simultaneously, without letting the struggling project consume all the attention the healthy one still needs, is the real test of this role.
The team holds a monthly retrospective specifically on project delivery patterns across the whole portfolio, not just individual projects, looking for systemic issues like a particular type of client request that consistently causes timeline pressure, so fixes can happen at the process level rather than being solved fresh each time.
The project management practice holds a shared retrospective library across all past projects, searchable by type of issue encountered, and leads are expected to check it when scoping a new project for any pattern that's caused problems on similar past engagements.
Leads here are expected to document their own decision-making reasoning on major calls, not just the outcome, specifically so a project can be picked up smoothly by someone else if needed, a practice the team treats as a professional responsibility rather than optional extra effort.
This role is based at Vijay Nagar, Indore, pin code 452010, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,54,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
