Role Overview

We're looking for a Project Manager to lead an in-house custom software project in the travel / hospitality industry - from defining requirements and scoping the system, through selecting the development vendor, to managing build, migration, integrations, testing, rollout, and vendor accountability.

Responsibilities

• At least 2-3 implementations of a booking-class or ERP system led in-house (on the business side), not as a vendor - ideally solutions designed around the organization's own processes, not just off-the-shelf ERP rollouts.
• Experience replacing a legacy system with poor data quality - able to plan data analysis, deduplication, cleanup, partial migration, historical data archiving, and a controlled cutover.
• Independent experience running a vendor selection process: preparing an RFP, comparing offers and approaches, assessing the vendor's team, and negotiating a development contract.
• Experience breaking a large system into phases, modules, and priorities, and defining an MVP that delivers business value.
• Comfortable talking directly with operational teams and drawing out how work actually happens, not how it's assumed to happen.
• Documented experience running a change-control procedure on a project lasting more than a year (not just short, few-month implementations).
• Experience protecting the company's interests in a custom software project: source code rights, documentation, repository and infrastructure access, API access, acceptance criteria, warranties, SLAs, and the ability to switch vendors.

Nice to have

• Experience with IT projects requiring integration with multiple external parties - understanding why integrations slip and how to schedule around that.
• Familiarity with the travel, hospitality, or inbound B2B tourism industry (concepts like allotment, release, stop sale, purchase/sale price, margin).
• Experience working directly with a founder-owner, not only within a corporate structure.
• Good communication skills in German or English.
• Experience managing organizational change and user resistance.

Requirements

• Document current processes and requirements, working alongside an external process-mapping and automation partner.
• Identify which processes are shared and which must remain distinct across business units.
• Prepare the RFP, collect and compare at least three vendor offers, and select the project contractor.
• Negotiate the contract, including safeguards: code ownership, acceptance criteria, staged payments.
• Manage the schedule and budget, and report deviations.
• Run a formal change-request procedure - every change quantified for time and cost impact.
• Keep leadership and the team informed on how requested changes affect budget and timeline.
• Coordinate the internal team's work.
• Sign off on project stages against pre-agreed acceptance criteria.
• Manage change and user adoption.
• Document the solution.
• Hybrid work with regular, at least partial, presence at the Kołobrzeg office.

Benefits

• Join for a role, stay for the development: More than 40% of our team is working with us longer than 5 years. Explore diverse domains, projects and modern technologies through internal mobility.
• Learn from the best: Almost 60% of all our colleague has over 10 years of professional experience.
• Flexibility: Work fully remotely, full-time from our office in Wroclaw or in a hybrid model.
• Practical benefits: private medical care, life insurance, sport card.
