We place strong emphasis on close client collaboration and proactive ownership of the sales process through identifying emerging needs and opportunities for expanding partnerships. 

This role at Synergy Codes: 

• Managing the end-to-end delivery process of projects within R&D teams

• Creating, monitoring, and reporting on project timelines, budgets, and execution plans  

• Collaborating closely with clients on a day-to-day basis – clarifying requirements, gathering feedback, and proposing tailored solutions  

• Preparing project estimates, participating in sales meetings, and supporting the proposal development process  

• Proactively identifying new project opportunities within existing client accounts by monitoring progress and uncovering additional areas for team involvement  

• Managing project risks by tracking potential issues and making key decisions to mitigate them  

We are looking for someone with:  

• 5+ years of experience as a Project Manager in the IT industry  

• Experience managing small to mid-sized teams, including conducting 1:1s and development conversations  

• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and effectively prioritize tasks  

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills  

• Strong process-oriented mindset with the ability to map and optimize workflows  

• An AI-driven mindset – curiosity and willingness to learn, explore, and apply AI tools  

• Experience working directly with clients (e.g., as a Project Manager, Account Manager, or in a similar role)  

• Ability to identify client business needs and translate them into actionable project initiatives  

• Proactive approach to growing client relationships and securing new project opportunities  

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams concurrently  

• Fluency in English (minimum C1 level) – experience working with international clients  

What we offer: 

• A high level of ownership and autonomy in shaping both projects and client relationships – this is not a delivery-only role, but one with real impact on how things are built and grown 

• A dynamic R&D environment where priorities evolve quickly, giving you exposure to diverse challenges rather than repetitive project cycles 

• Close collaboration with experienced engineers and direct access to decision-making – we are a ~60-person software house, so your voice is heard and matters 

• A role that goes beyond classic project management – combining delivery, client partnership, and contribution to identifying new opportunities within ongoing collaborations 

• A culture built on trust, transparency, and accountability, where independence is expected and supported
