Full description

Company Description

Do you enjoy building something from scratch, rather than running what already works? Are you comfortable with uncertainty, and do you see it as development zone? If so, we’d love to talk.

We’re looking for a proactive, entrepreneurial Senior Project Manager who will drive new initiatives, shape new service offerings, and turn ideas into real business. This is a role for a starter and a driver, someone who doesn’t wait for a template but creates one.

You’ll join a department that is growing fast in competencies, customers, and people. You won’t just follow our growth strategy here. You’ll help define it.

CUSTOMER

We partner with global customers to deliver enterprise software solutions. We focus on high-value projects where customers come to us for expertise and solutions, not just for people.

PROJECT

You’ll oversee a portfolio of existing projects with experienced teams already in place. Your main focus, though, will be on what comes next: launching new initiatives. You’ll work with the unit’s existing experts and initiate hiring where new capabilities are needed.

Job Description

  • Drive the launch of new initiatives and service lines, from idea to first contracts
  • Shape service offerings and value propositions for new and existing customers
  • Lead proposals and actively participate in presales, working closely with sales, architects, and delivery teams
  • Oversee delivery of existing projects within scope, time, and budget
  • Build and grow teams, including initiating hiring for new competencies
  • Identify opportunities and risks early, and act on them without waiting to be asked
  • Choose and adapt delivery approaches to fit each initiative, rather than following a single playbook

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in project and/or program management
  • Proven experience launching something new: a project, service, practice, or business direction
  • Hands-on experience with proposals, offerings, or presales activities
  • Ability to sell services and solutions and talk with customers about business value
  • Experience with fixed-price projects
  • Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to move forward without a predefined process
  • Strong ownership mindset: you initiate, not just execute
  • Hands-on experience with Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, and hybrid approaches
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
  • Upper-Intermediate or Advanced English
