About the Position

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.

Responsibilities

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)
