Senior Project Manager Offline

Hi everyone!

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager. We need someone who can go beyond simple task tracking. We are looking for a professional who takes full ownership of the strategic roadmap, manages complex cross-project dependencies, and acts as a proactive partner for our clients.

About us:
Mind Studios specializes in mobile and web app development, helping businesses unlock their potential and turn ideas into profitable products.
Our key domains include: Real Estate, Logistics, Healthcare, Fitness, and Mental Health.

Our achievements:
— 13 years in the IT market;
— offices in Dnipro, Kyiv, and Vienna;
— over 90 professionals on our team.

What we offer:
— work in a professional team building innovative products;
— support for your growth: regular performance reviews, assessments & personal development plans;
— education budget tailored to your skills and experience;
— flexibility: work remotely or from one of our offices;
— paid vacations and sick leaves;
— transparency: monthly company updates.

In this role, you will:
— lead the program: сoordinate work across parallel applications, ensuring that shared resources are synchronized and effective;
— hybrid delivery: implement a Hybrid approach (PMI-based) to bridge the gap between long-term roadmap commitments and flexible Agile execution;
— strategic roadmap ownership: build and maintain a realistic project plan. You will be responsible for keeping the roadmap up-to-date and aligned with the business goals of multiple stakeholders;
— stakeholder management: maintain transparent, high-level communication with the client. We need you to provide clarity, manage expectations, and offer data-driven solutions;
— proactive problem solving: identify potential bottlenecks and risks before they impact the delivery. If a problem arises, we expect you to own the solution and drive it to completion.

What is important to join us:
— 4+ years of experience in Project or Program Management within the IT industry;
— proven experience with larger teams: you have successfully led teams of 10+ specialists;
— hybrid methodology expertise: practical experience combining traditional planning (milestones, budgeting) with Agile delivery;
— the "ownership" mentality: you are proactive by nature, you don't wait for instructions, and you feel responsible for the final result;
— advanced communication: strong negotiation skills and the ability to say a reasoned "No" to a client when it’s in the product's best interest;
— technical & analytical proficiency: a solid understanding of the Web/iOS/Android release cycle and the ability to work closely with the BA team;
— upper-intermediate or higher (fluent for negotiations and demos).

It’s great if you additionally have:
— experience in Business Analysis;
— technical background: development / design / QA expertise;
— PMI-ACP, PSM, etc.

What makes us different from others?
Strategic Influence: You are not just an executor; you have a solid influence on the product’s future and its strategy.
PMO Support & Standards: We have established PMO standards that provide a solid foundation while allowing for expert tailoring.
Focus on Value: We build products for users, not just for clients. We prioritize product health and actual results over "process for the sake of process."
