IT Project Manager

Łódź, Poland

What will be your daily tasks

• Managing multiple projects at once – web, mobile, AI
• Planning scope, budget, timelines, and resources
• Organizing project meetings – stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives
• Communicating clearly and respectfully with clients and the team
• Monitoring risks, changes and progress
• Creating and maintaining project documentation

Who will you work with?

• Project teams vary – sometimes we handle everything internally, sometimes we collaborate with client teams.
• Team size? From a few to a dozen+ people, depending on the project.
• Clients? Diverse – from fintech and e-commerce to education and non-profits. Projects are varied, and you’ll get to work on different topics, challenges, and with different people.

Team & onboarding

You’ll join our team of Project Managers and report to the Head of Client Service. We won’t throw you into the deep end. You’ll get a step-by-step onboarding into our approach, tools, and processes – with support from the team and your leader. At first, we’ll review the projects together – go through the context, goals, and current challenges. You’ll have time to ask questions, get oriented, and settle in at your own pace.

What you'll get

Flexible working hours

• Start your day anytime between 7:00 and 9:00 – one day at 7:01, another at 8:36. No need to lock into one hour – we trust each other.
• Our core hours are 9:00–15:00 – most of the team is available then, so things get done faster. Need to go to the doctor, pick up your kid, or handle something urgent? Just do it.
• We're flexible, but remember – projects have their rhythm. Sometimes, you’ll need to be available for a specific client or team meeting. That’s part of the job.

Multisport & private healthcare (Compensa)

• After 3 months, you’ll get full coverage for a Multisport card and private medical care with Compensa – fully paid by the company.
• Have kids? You can get the Multisport Kids card for 1 PLN – we support active families.

1:1 English lessons via Preply – 75% subsidized

• You choose the teacher, schedule, and pace – we cover most of the cost.

Pet-friendly office

• Want to work alongside your dog or another pet? Just let us know on Slack in advance.

People really matter here – and we have proof

• We ran a survey on our organizational culture, and the results were clear: Goodylabs is a company with a strong clan culture. That means people, relationships, and trust really matter here.

For you as a Project Manager, that means:

• You have a say in the project and the process – your voice counts
• You’re not on your own – you can count on your team and your leader
• You don’t need to wear armor – you can be yourself
• Communication is direct, not overly formal
• What matters is team impact, not individual ego

Before you apply, make sure that:

• You have experience managing IT projects – we’re looking for someone who’s done it before and feels confident in the role.
• You speak Polish fluently – that’s the main language we use in our team.
• You’re comfortable with English – reading documentation, writing on Slack, and joining calls with international clients.
• You can work in a hybrid model from our office in Łódź, and you’re available to come in at least twice a week when needed.
• You’re self-driven and don’t need day-to-day supervision – we value initiative, responsibility, and trust.
• You’re available to start soon – we’re ready to go and looking for someone who is too.
