Group Data Project Management Lead

This is a leading-by-doing role. You personally own the delivery of a country’s migration to the Global Data Platform end to end - from the plan agreed with country management, through analysis and build, to handover to the local team - coordinating the central domain teams, delivery partners, country IT and the business into one working plan. At the same time you lead the project managers across the programme: you set the delivery standard they work to, review their plans, keep reporting consistent, and step in where a project needs help. Across both, you keep the programme honest - realistic schedules, visible risks, managed dependencies and steering committees that hear the true status.

Address: Na Florenci 2116/15

Required education: School-leaving exam

Required languages: English (advanced), Czech or Slovak (benefitial)

What will be your responsibilities?

You’ll be a great match if you can:

• Run a full delivery lifecycle - from activation outputs and effort estimates through implementation, UAT and handover to the country team
• Lead and grow other project managers - set the standard, review their plans and reporting, and coach them through the hard moments
• Build and maintain a realistic plan across central domain teams, delivery partners, country IT and business stakeholders
• Manage dependencies outside your direct control - ERP, POS/RMS and other in-flight programmes competing for the same people
• Own one consolidated programme view - consistent status, risks, budget and effort across all running country projects
• Run steering committees and status reporting that executives trust - clear RAG, real risks, concrete asks
• Secure and protect business capacity - validation workshops, UAT and sign-offs planned around business availability
• Drive delivery through a quality-gate SDLC - holding teams to defined artifacts and clear pass/fail moments

What do we expect from you?

• Solid project management experience delivering data, BI or data warehouse programmes - ideally migrations
• Experience leading other project managers - formally or as the senior PM others calibrate against
• Experience running projects across multiple organisations at once - internal teams, vendors and business stakeholders
• Strong planning and estimation discipline - you keep the plan real, not aspirational
• Confidence with executives - steering committees, escalations and difficult status messages
• Budget ownership experience - tracking spend and effort against plan
• Strong structured communication - you are the single point of truth between technical teams and the business
• Fluent English - you work with colleagues across multiple countries daily
• Being based in Czechia, ideally Prague

• PRINCE2, PMP or similar certification; experience with stage-gate / quality-gate delivery
• Experience building or running a PMO in a multi-country programme
