Junior Project Manager

Location: Cascais, Portugal (On-site)

Reporting to: CEO – Felipe Franzina

Company: Amazonia Bio

About Amazonia Bio

Amazonia Bio is a Belgian–Brazilian company connecting the Amazon's rich biodiversity with global markets. Headquartered in Brussels, we supply premium organic ingredients to the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Beyond sourcing, our mission actively supports Amazonian farming communities through pre-financing, education on sustainable practices, and agritech innovation.

(1) The Role

We are seeking a high-impact Project Manager to serve as the strategic "External Brain" to our CEO. This is a role for a high-agency professional who views "Support" as "Execution Management."

You will not just manage a calendar; you will be responsible for capturing the CEO’s vision in real-time, translating high-speed verbal downloads into actionable workflows, and ensuring that nothing—absolutely nothing—falls through the cracks. Based in our Cascais office, you will act as a force multiplier, managing both the CEO’s strategic objectives and the support team required to execute them.

(2) Key Responsibilities

• Information Synthesis & Reporting: Actively capture all verbal instructions/downloads from the CEO. Immediately translate these into Asana tasks and communicate urgent action items via WhatsApp.
• Daily Accountability (The "Consolidated Report"): Provide a daily end-of-day summary of what was realized, what is pending, and what is prioritized for the following day, ensuring full alignment with the CEO’s goals.
• Strategic Delegation & Management: Identify "low-leverage" tasks (e.g., photo sorting, contact list management, basic social media posts). You will be responsible for researching, hiring, and managing cost-effective virtual assistants/specialists to handle these, remaining the single point of accountability.
• Mindset & Agenda Alignment: Conduct daily/weekly syncs to proactively align the CEO’s schedule with his mindset and long-term objectives. You are the gatekeeper who ensures his time is spent on $10,000/hour tasks.
• Expectation Management: Act as a critical filter. You must be comfortable clarifying requests, aligning expectations, and providing "push-back" when necessary to maintain focus and trust.
• Operational Oversight: Bridge communication gaps between the CEO and the team (e.g., ensuring reporting standards are met by other managers).

(3) Requirements

• Project Management Mindset: You likely have a background in Project Management or high-level Operations. You think in "deadlines" and "deliverables," not "tasks."
• Expert Level - Asana & Tech Stack: You must be a power user of Asana and WhatsApp for business coordination.
• Resilience & Intelligence: You are "thick-skinned" and thrive under a demanding, fast-paced leader. You solve problems before they are even mentioned.
• The "Manager of People": Ability to delegate and audit the work of others to ensure the CEO only sees the final, polished result.
• Fluency: Full professional fluency in English and Portuguese is mandatory.
• Presence: Must be based in or near Cascais with the legal right to work in Portugal (NIF/NISS).

(4) What We Offer

• Direct Access: A "front-row seat" to global business scaling, working side-by-side with a founder in the sustainability and agritech sector.
• Strategic Authority: This is not a "yes-person" role. You are expected to manage "up" and have the autonomy to hire and manage your own support layer of assistants.
• High-Growth Path: This role is designed to evolve into a Chief of Staff or Head of Operations position for the right performer.
• Purpose-Driven Mission: Be a key player in a company that is actively regenerating the Amazon rainforest.
• Compensation: €1900 monthly.
