Project Manager

Contract of employment

Salary range: 16600-25400 PLN gross

We are looking for a Project Manager to join our rapidly growing delivery organization in Poland.
This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in dynamic environments and is passionate about delivering high-impact, fixed-price technology projects for banking and financial services clients in Poland and Central Eastern Europe.

You’ll be part of a project governance family with a strong community and evolving best practices, empowered to drive innovation and shape delivery in an organization that blends consulting agility with engineering excellence.

Your duties:

• Lead and manage IT delivery projects (fixed-price, T&M or hybrid) for external clients in Poland and CEE

• Own project planning, tracking and execution using Agile, Hybrid or Waterfall methods

• Manage scope, resources, budget, risks and quality and dependencies with high autonomy

• Build and sustain strong, trust-based relationships with external stakeholders, including client VPs and Directors

• Proactively manage project financials (including profitability, buffers, revenue recognition and forecasting)

• Handle escalations and steer corrective actions through effective governance practices

• Shape the team, foster psychological safety, and mentor others to grow delivery maturity

• Contribute to pre-sales activities and provide delivery insights into client proposals

• Embrace a startup mindset – help set up, scale and evolve structures, processes and culture where needed

• Collaborate cross-functionally with business analysts, engineers, architects, and client representatives

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in IT Project Management in complex, client-facing environments

• Experience with fixed-price delivery, with demonstrated control over scope and profitability

• Hands-on experience with external client collaboration, including vendor management

• Familiarity with banking/financial services domains – e.g. neobanks, core banking transformations, regulatory platforms

• Comfortable in ambiguous, fast-evolving settings – you've worked in new functions or changing delivery setups

• Strong command of delivery tools: Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project or equivalents

• Strong written and verbal English skills; Polish is a plus

• Solid understanding of governance, compliance and audit-readiness in enterprise contexts

• You’re able to align project outcomes with broader strategic goals, not just deliver tasks

• You are a confident negotiator, able to find balanced outcomes for scope, budget and delivery

Nice to have

• Prior experience in CEE delivery contexts (culture, timelines, regulations, stakeholder dynamics)

• Professional certification (PMP, Prince2, AgilePM, SAFe, etc.)

• Experience working in consulting, software houses or systems integrators

We offer:

• Working in a highly experienced and dedicated team
• Contract of employment
• Hybrid work (2 days per week in one of our offices)
• Benefit package that can be tailored to your personal needs (private medical coverage, sport & recreation package, lunch subsidy, life insurance, etc.)
• On-line training and certifications fit for career path
• Access to e-learning platform
• Work From Anywhere (WFA) - the temporary option to work remotely outside of Poland for up to 140 days per year (including Italy, Spain, the UK, Germany, Portugal, and Bulgaria)
• Social events
