Medior Project Manager (m/f/d) - IT Business Development

The IT Business Development Team mainly supports the Development Teams at ABOUT YOU Tech in structuring and optimizing their projects and processes. To achieve this, they work closely together with the top management as well as the Tech & Product Leads of the company. The Team’s responsibilities vary a lot from managing projects with other tech team leads e.g. external software selection and migrations, IT investment cases, cost saving and projects helping other leads to find the perfect team processes.

The Project Manager should be able to manage a wide range of projects in parallel as we also do unique projects for one of the founders, for challenges which we face in our tech teams resulting from our start-up growth rate. 

The IT Business Development Team is characterized by a strong team spirit and a supportive atmosphere. Team members are closely connected, always ready to help each other, and participate in various team events. The work environment is dynamic, offering a variety of tasks and challenges that keep the job interesting and engaging.
