Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

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)
