Senior IT Project Manager - Team Lead

<p>At Mito Digital, our goal is to design and deliver human-centered, best-in-class digital solutions. We have been working with enterprises from around the globe for more than 10 years, in industries such as telco, lottery, ecommerce and aviation. We are super proud of the things we put together and have a lot of fun while doing it. But you can never get enough pride and fun, can you?</p><p>Our lottery &amp; betting team wants to get lucky: they’re looking for a Senior Project Manager / Team Lead to join their ranks. If you are not intimidated by managing huge and complex IT projects while guiding a team of project managers through their everyday activities, then we feel like we’ve hit the jackpot.</p><p><strong>Requirements</strong></p><h3>Your tasks will be…</h3><ul> <li>Managing challenging long-term development projects - and by “challenging” we mean that you do not only have to forward emails. You need to carefully balance our team's best interest, our client's satisfaction, and our business objectives. The challenge is to keep everyone happy.</li> <li>Managing the day-to-day activities of your team (yes, that includes the fun part, too.)</li> <li>Motivating the team to achieve the organization’s goals. We have coffee (during work) and beer (after work) as motivational tools – the others are up to you.</li> <li>Helping team members in their career development and ambitious yet realistic goals (although none of us would mind a trip to the Moon).</li> <li>Conducting performance reviews and regular feedback. Again, you’ll be walking by them.</li> <li>We don’t need you to write code, but it’s more than welcome if you understand it and do not get intimidated by the sight of a source code.</li> <li>Be comfortable using JIRA and Confluence as they are our second best friends when it comes to scheduling, specs and docs. Excel and spreadsheets, too - you won’t write macros but you should be able to use the different functions.</li> <li>collaborating with developers (frontend, backend, either way there is an end to it), software tester, business analysts and UI / UX folks.</li> <li>running (and sometimes running to) status meetings to ensure a smooth delivery, providing updates on strategy and improvements.</li> <li>Participating in the selection process of new team members, helping their onboarding and being their go-to person. Except it’s you who’ll go to them first, aiding them every step of the way.<br/> </li> </ul><h3>What we expect from you…</h3><ul> <li>You have managed complex web projects in the last few years, from specifications to release and follow-up and have an extensive understanding of project and program management principles, methods and techniques.</li> <li>You are very comfortable with operating at leadership levels - in terms of planning, risk management, resource allocation, decision preparation etc.</li> <li>A human-centric yet business-focused attitude. That’s what lies at the root of everything we do.</li> <li>To excel independently. We rely on your knowledge and ability to set priorities, and solve the upcoming challenges right before they turn into issues, then problems.</li> <li>Experience in team management. (A size of a class. We mean a diverse class of people with diverse talents and skills.)</li> <li>You have excellent communication skills in Hungarian and English.</li> <li>Proactive mindset and an eye for assessing, measuring, and improving performance.</li> <li>You use ticketing (as you’ve seen above, we use JIRA) and you know that a bug report is not just saying “there is something wrong with the API, check it pls”. You are eager to dive into the logs if there is something fishy in a report.</li> <li>Be a team player. Go, team!</li> </ul><p><strong>Benefits</strong></p><h3>What makes working at Mito unique:</h3><p><strong>Plenty of challenges. And endless resources to meet them.</strong></p><ul> <li>All four of our business units work on impactful projects throughout the world. Your efforts can and will make a difference in people’s lives, whether they’re booking a plane ticket or want to be delighted by a funny commercial on TV.</li> <li>World-class work requires world-class working conditions. Like a beautiful office in downtown Budapest, MacBooks (if you prefer so), coffee (if you prefer so), fruit (who doesn’t like that), beer, whatever.</li> <li>Hybrid working environment, so you can work from home when you need to, though to keep everything and everyone on track, we do like to meet in person and spend some days at the office.</li> <li>Our Level Up system will reward your professional progress with extra days off every year.</li> </ul><p><strong>A community</strong></p><ul> <li>Mito has always been a place where the only thing we take seriously is work, so you’ll be able to have fun and meet great people like yourself.</li> <li>From Hackathons to office parties and Easter egg hunting for the kids, we love to spend time together either to get to know each other better or
