About Freelancer.com

Thirteen-time Webby award-winning Freelancer is the world’s biggest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace. We connect millions of clients and freelancers across the globe, and every day, thousands of jobs are posted, bid on, negotiated, and managed through our site.

We think it is pretty cool that our marketplace hosts a real-life economy, where work is undertaken in every area you can think of. From design, writing, data entry and software development; through to sales, marketing, accounting and legal services - even NASA uses us!

We are hiring a Technical Project Coordinator in our Manila HQ who knows how to build things from the ground up, someone who will work as a skilled technical expert guiding clients from concept to completion. 

In this role you will be responsible for the end to end coordination of projects that entrepreneurs and enterprises on Freelancer want completed. This includes a wide range of sectors and technologies, from mobile games for solo founders to custom SaaS solutions for small businesses.

This role suits someone with strong client-facing experience and a hands-on builder's mindset, like a startup founder or product manager who knows how to turn vision into reality. You'll work directly with clients to shape their ideas into clear specifications, manage freelancers, oversee agile development, and drive projects from concept through to successful delivery. One day you might be guiding the launch of a mobile app, the next helping a founder build their first SaaS product. If you’re a high-achiever who thrives on variety, enjoys solving real-world problems, and is looking for more than a corporate routine, this is the job for you.

You will be working from our Manila HQ alongside our amazing team of Account Managers under the Managed Services Group.
