As a Project Manager, you will deliver complex GBS transition and transformation projects end-to-end as part of the country Programme Delivery & PMO capability in Krakow and Bangalore, working under the local VP / centre delivery leadership while aligning to global programme standards and governance. Take direct ownership for turning functional scope into executable plans, resolved issues and successful transition outcomes. Initially aligned to priority transition areas, the role will build transferable PM capability to support broader GBS projects and transformation activity over time. Own practical delivery planning, risks, dependencies, stakeholder coordination and issue resolution, ensuring transitions land to agreed scope, timeline, cost, quality, readiness and adoption expectations.
What you will be doing:
You will Lead assigned transition / project workstreams end-to-end from mobilisation through delivery, stabilisation and handover.
- Build and maintain integrated plans, milestones, RAID, dependencies, actions and decision logs.
- Drive delivery against agreed scope, timeline, cost and quality expectations, escalating blockers and resolving issues quickly.
- Work across functional SMEs, country teams, GCC leaders, PMO, Change and Service Management to coordinate delivery.
- Translate functional and transition requirements into practical delivery plans, readiness activity and clear accountable actions.
- Maintain clear reporting and stakeholder updates, highlighting progress, risks, decisions and support required.
- Apply common PM methods, governance, templates and tools consistently across transition activity.
- Capture lessons learned and contribute to stronger future GBS transition and programme delivery capability.
- Build transferable PM capability so the role can support broader GBS projects and transformation activity beyond the initial transition scope.
What you will need:
- Significant project / transition management experience in complex business change, transformation, shared services or GBS / GCC environments.
- Proven delivery of cross-functional projects through planning, execution, risk / dependency management and stakeholder coordination.
- Evidence of owning delivery outcomes in business transition or transformation environments, not only coordinating plans, reporting or RAID.
- Functional knowledge relevant to the assigned 2027 focus area, combined with strong PM discipline and delivery ownership.
- Hands-on, proactive delivery style: able to identify obstacles, pick up actions and keep work moving without heavy direction.
- Experience working across matrix teams, multiple stakeholders and, ideally, multiple locations or countries.
- Strong communication, reporting and escalation skills, with the ability to make delivery status clear and actionable.
- Resilience and pragmatism when plans change, issues emerge or stakeholder priorities conflict.
Desirable:
- Experience supporting mobilisation, stabilisation, adoption or benefits realisation activity.
- Exposure to Finance, Procurement, HR, PMO, Warranty / Roaming or similar functional transition domains.
- Experience in Shared Services, GBS, GCC, service management or operating model change environments.
- Professional project qualifications such as PRINCE2, PMP, APM or equivalent.
- Experience contributing to PM standards, templates, lessons learned or programme capability building
What do we offer:
- Annual bonus based on financial results and employee performance evaluation.
- Employer financed private healthcare at LuxMed for employees. Additional packages can be purchased.

- Additional vacation days based on length of service
- Hybrid work model (min. 2 days from office)
- Flexible start time between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM
- Work in a modern office located in the Krakow center – the Unity Tower (ul. Lubomirskiego 20)
