MOHARA is a global venture builder and technology partner, committed to turning bold ideas into impactful digital products. We work with startups, venture studios, and scale-ups—from concept through to launch—providing strategic guidance and hands-on technical expertise to build products that create real value.
With a distributed team across the UK, South Africa, Mexico, and Thailand, we collaborate seamlessly across time zones to support our partners worldwide. Our hybrid business model blends service delivery with investment: in some cases, we earn sweat equity alongside our fees. This means our success is directly tied to the success of the products we help create.
We don't just deliver code—we’re invested in the journey. Our team values honesty, courage, and building strong, long-term relationships. At MOHARA, our goal is to help launch successful products and businesses, not just bill by the hour.
As a Project Manager at MOHARA, you’ll take ownership of planning, coordinating, and delivering digital product development projects. You’ll work closely with founders, developers, QA engineers, and designers to ensure products are delivered on time, within budget, and aligned with client expectations.
This role is well-suited to someone with existing project management experience who is ready to take the next step in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You’ll be responsible for managing day-to-day project operations, facilitating team collaboration, maintaining strong client relationships, and supporting continuous improvement across the delivery process.
In return for your contribution, MOHARA offers competitive salaries, flexible working, medical insurance, and unique opportunities. These include the chance to work in our overseas offices (Bangkok and Mexico) for both short-term visits and longer, organised exchanges.
With a focus on continuous learning and adaptability, the Project Manager will:
- Assist in planning and executing software development projects, including web/mobile applications and other digital assets.
- Work with cross-functional teams - designers, developers, QA engineers, and founders - to gather project requirements and create comprehensive project plans.

MOHARA has a relaxed, informal, and trusting working environment. We often rely on each other for more than just project advice. We’re looking for people who are interested in more than a day job.
The individuals we hire are curious, have a point of view and know how to communicate it. They are also empathetic - to each other, to our customers’ needs, and also for the users for whom we build innovative products.
Our particular client mix means we look for people with the courage to push the boundaries of their abilities and our clients expectations, who look beyond what is asked of them to find new opportunities, who are authentic in their abilities and honest with themselves. We treat a client’s fledgling business like our own, and recognise the investment and passion that drives them.
