About Nothing

Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again. We're building a different kind of technology company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look and feel to how we communicate and show up in culture, we believe technology should make you feel something. Founded in London in 2020, we’ve grown from idea to global challenger in just a few years. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, and investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’re now sold in 40+ markets with millions of users worldwide.

The Role

As a Technical Project Manager at Nothing, you'll be central to bridging the gap between our technical and design teams and the wider business. You'll be embedded within the Industrial Design Team, working from our small design studio in King's Cross, London, alongside designers, creative technologists and engineers to invent, prototype and ship the technology of the future. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, project management skills, and exceptional collaboration qualities. You'll be happy to negotiate and not afraid to challenge pre‑existing processes in this fast‑paced environment. You're self‑motivated, proactive in managing tasks under pressure, and appreciate the importance of design – you will represent and defend the team’s vision at every stage of the process.

What we expect from all of our design team members

• Creative and collaborative problem solving
• Excellent visual and verbal communication
• Meticulous attention to detail
• Amazing collaboration skills

Key Responsibilities

• Manage hardware and software project schedules, resources, and deliverables for UK Experience and Engineering teams with proven project planning and completion abilities
• Provide excellent clear communication and coordination between cross‑functional product development teams, as well as with Marketing and Brand teams
• Drive accountability through clear documentation, tracking, and communication
• Identify and track critical Experience and Engineering risks and coordinate mitigation plans with the wider teams and business
• Keep stakeholders informed about project status, milestones, and issues – acting as a translator between technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Identify and implement project management process optimisation and improvements

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years proven experience as a Project Manager in hardware or software engineering, with experience in electronic product development as a bonus
• Strong understanding of the product development lifecycle and modern engineering practices with a strong track record of shipping products
• Experience working with creative and innovative teams, spanning both hardware, software, and experience design with strong technical and conceptual communication skills
• Excellent data presentation, communication and interpersonal skills

Nice To Have

• Bachelor’s degree in ME/EE/CE or equivalent
• Strong technical background in mobile and audio products
• Willingness to travel to China (or other countries) at least twice a year
• Chinese language proficiency

Most of all, we’re looking for people who see the world like we do. If you think that’s you, please get in touch.
