Requirements

You have done this before - here's what we're looking for.

Required

- 5+ years' Project/Programme Management experience in a fast-paced, tech-focused environment, including large-scale, multi-year, complex projects and their associated budgets.
- Agile experience.
- Excellent management and coaching skills.
- Strong senior stakeholder management skills, including experience partnering with Account Management/Sales functions.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to communicate effectively at all levels of an organisation.
- Track record of driving results through ambiguity in a large, complex organisation with multiple stakeholders.
- Strong understanding of technology, process, risk, and controls,



including commercial/GM awareness.
- Experience working in an international organisation, ideally with multi-country remote teams.
- Experience managing capacity, resourcing and prioritisation across a portfolio of concurrent projects or accounts.
- Experience with incident management and client-facing escalation handling.
- Ability to influence, build trust and credibility, and motivate cross-functional teams and collaborators without formal authority.
- Comfortable balancing multiple concurrent projects in a scaled agile, fast-paced, international environment.
- Able to travel regularly.

Valued

- Experience representing and running large, cross-functional software projects, and communicating strategy, goals, and progress to varied audiences.
- Experience within the digital and sports industry.
- Comfortable collaborating with engineering, product, design, data science, and research teams, as well as individual contributors, C-suite, and vendors.
A hands-on willingness to personally help solve problems that move the programme forward.

Who Thrives Here

This role carries end-to-end oversight of a portfolio of programmes and accounts that don't sit neatly in one office or one time zone - you're expected to triage, prioritise, and lead cross-functional teams in real time, often across hemispheres. It suits someone who is self-motivated, independent, and comfortable being the person who keeps every player coordinated, without needing to be asked.

People who do well here bring structure to ambiguity rather than waiting for it to resolve itself, build trust with stakeholders from individual contributors to C-suite and Account Managers, own escalations and incidents as they arise, and stay resilient when the pace and scale of a multi-year, multi-country, multi-account portfolio gets genuinely difficult.

Process and what to expect

Salary starts from €70,000 rising to €90,000 for those with significant relevant experience. Where you land depends on the experience and expertise you bring.

If your expectations sit outside the range, tell us anyway —we're happy to have an open conversation. Internal progression is assessed through a structured process combining a technical assessment and a competency-based interview. The role falls under CCNL Commercio| D.Lgs. 96/2026.

Interview stages

- Introductory conversation: a step for us to get to know each other better, and for us to answer all questions you might have around Deltatre.
- 1-hour Technical round of Interview: we will deep dive on your experience and explore your delivery background in details.
- 1-hour Competency Based Interview: we will ask you situational questions around how you deal with real-life scenarios at work. Easier doing it, more than explaining it.

If any of these formats would be difficult for you, tell us - we adjust regularly and can usually accommodate.

Accessibility and accommodation questions are welcome at any stage. Tell us what would work for you.
