About the project

We are looking for a Senior IT Project Manager to support a long-term ERP / IT implementation project within a large international manufacturing organization.

The project combines IT systems, ERP, business processes and physical manufacturing operations. The key challenge is ensuring that technology and production readiness are fully aligned — from systems and processes to machinery and operational infrastructure.

This is a highly business-critical environment where delays or issues in IT implementation can directly affect production continuity and business results.

Your responsibilities

• Coordinate IT activities within a large-scale manufacturing implementation project.

• Manage multiple teams, stakeholders and cross-functional dependencies.

• Coordinate dependencies between ERP/IT systems, business processes, production and physical infrastructure.

• Own project planning, timelines, risks, issues and dependencies.

• Ensure that IT implementation activities remain aligned with the overall production and operational readiness plan.

• Facilitate communication between IT, business, operations, production and external stakeholders.

• Identify risks and potential blockers and drive their resolution.

• Monitor milestones, deliverables and overall project progress.

• Support implementation activities through go-live and stabilization.

• Provide clear project status updates and escalate critical issues when required.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in IT Project Management, preferably with experience in complex, large-scale implementations.

• Experience delivering IT / ERP / enterprise system implementations, ideally end-to-end.

• Good understanding of ERP and enterprise environments such as SAP, Oracle or similar platforms.

• Strong understanding of how IT systems support business and operational processes.

• Proven experience coordinating multiple teams and managing complex dependencies.

• Understanding of manufacturing or production environments and their operational realities.

• Ability to understand the business impact of IT issues in a production environment.

• Strong stakeholder management, communication and organizational skills.

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of project delivery.

• Willingness to attend occasional on-site meetings in Poland when required.

Nice to have

• Experience in manufacturing, automotive, industrial or plant environments.

• Previous experience with SAP or another major ERP platform.

• Experience with factory implementations, plant launches or production system rollouts.

• German language skills.

• Experience working in international, multi-site organizations.

What we offer

• 0.5 FTE engagement.

• remote work.

• Occasional on-site presence in Poland depending on project requirements.

• PLN 180–220 net + VAT/hour, depending on experience.

• Long-term cooperation.

• Opportunity to work on a business-critical manufacturing transformation / implementation project.

• Exposure to the intersection of ERP, enterprise IT and manufacturing operations.

• International environment and a complex, high-impact implementation.
