Project Management Trainee

About the role

Responsibilities

• Coordination of several product teams’ work to ensure delivery of value within expected timelines
• Working closely with Engineering manager and team members to create products and achieve tangible impact throughout the development lifecycle
• Managing project schedules, identifying potential issues, and timely informing all key stakeholders
• Managing priorities, risks, and dependencies
• Establishing a process for continuous improvement of metrics - performance (delivery and discovery), quality, as well as team engagement and maturity
• Facilitating project or program-level events

Qualifications

• End-to-End Ownership. Own end-to-end delivery of inDrive’s largest org-wide technical programs, from initiation and scoping through architecture, execution, launch and adoption, against measurable outcomes over multiple quarters
  
  
• Product Partnership. Partner with Product Managers across business verticals and platform to scope programs, challenge and sharpen requirements, agree what is in and out, and turn ambiguous product intent into a program with a defensible shape
  
  
• Prioritisation and Phasing. Drive prioritisation and phasing decisions with Product and Engineering — what ships first, what can wait, what can be split — so that value lands early and the plan survives contact with reality
  
  
• Cross-Surface Dependencies. Identify, map and resolve dependencies across the whole surface, including the ones nobody has noticed yet
  
  
• Technical Depth. Understand technical implementation at the architecture level and contribute to decisions on system design, scalability and reliability
  
  
• Solution Architecture. Own the technical coherence of end-to-end solutions that span multiple services, platforms, vendors and markets, and be accountable for the technical KPIs and SLAs your programs commit to
  
  
• Technical Judgment. Use your engineering background to help teams make sound design decisions, identify gaps in proposed solutions and weigh product-versus-technology trade-offs
  
  
• Portfolio Management. Own a portfolio of programs: sequence them, resolve cross-program dependencies and capacity conflicts, and make the calls on scope, timeline and technical approach
  
  
• Structure in Ambiguity. Create structure where none exists by defining program frameworks, decision points, operating cadences and communication models
  
  
• Systemic Risk. Detect risk visible only from a cross-program vantage point, and intervene to stabilise at-risk programs anywhere in the portfolio
  
  
• Execution at Scale. Identify where the organisation is losing speed, design scalable processes to fix it, and drive adoption across all Prod/Tech teams
  
  
• Executive Partnership. Partner directly with Product/Engineering Directors, VPs, the CTO and CPO on priorities, goals and trade-offs, and own executive communication so decisions are made quickly and with the right information
  
  
• Craft Leadership. Mentor Technical Program Managers and set the craft direction for the program management group

Who we need

We are looking for a structured and execution-driven Strategic Project Manager to lead complex market expansion and business localization initiatives across multiple regions and business units.

The role focuses on turning ambiguous business needs into structured execution plans, business cases, governance frameworks, and operational launches. Success requires strong stakeholder management, an ownership mentality, and the ability to drive cross-functional initiatives without direct managerial authority - but with strong C-level support and dedicated resources from Finance, Legal, Tax, Product, Payments, Commercial, Marketing, and Analytics assigned to each initiative.

This is not a traditional administrative role. We are looking for someone who can independently drive initiatives from idea to operational launch and build frameworks to make future launches faster and more predictable.

Responsibilities

1. Business Case Development & Strategic Planning:

• Build and structure business cases, ROI assessments, and operational models for market expansion initiatives. 
• Turn ambiguous business requests into actionable implementation plans, decision-making frameworks, and launch criteria - in close collaboration with Finance, Legal, Product and Business stakeholders.
• Prepare and present business cases and initiative proposals to C-level stakeholders - including structured storytelling, trade-off framing, and recommendation of go/no-go decisions.

2. End-to-End Initiative Execution:

• Lead market expansion and localization initiatives from planning to operational launch.
• Coordinate cross-functional implementation across Product, Finance, Legal, Payments, Operations, and Commercial teams. 
• Manage timelines, dependencies, escalations, and execution accountability across parallel workstreams.

3. Governance, Stakeholder Management & Reporting:

• Drive alignment across senior stakeholders with competing priorities. 
• Maintain governance structures, execution tracking, and transparent reporting. 
• Establish scalable project documentation, decision logs, and post-launch performance monitoring.

Key qualifications

• 4–8+ years of experience in strategic project management, business operations, transformation, or other cross-functional execution roles - with a strong track record of personally leading and delivering complex initiatives end-to-end.
• Proven ability to operate in high-ambiguity environments across multiple stakeholders (Finance, Legal, Tax, Product, Payments, Commercial, Marketing, Analytics, C-level).
• Strong ownership mentality, structured thinking, and ability to drive initiatives from concept to implementation.
• Business and operational mindset with high attention to detail and execution quality.
• Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with data, reporting and collaboration tools.(our stack: Confluence, Miro, Gantt, YouTrack, Slack, Tableau, Trino).

We offer you

• Flexible schedules and opportunity to work remotely;
• Ambitious and supportive team who love what they do, appreciate each other, and grow together;
• Internal programs for adaptation and training, development of soft skills, and leadership abilities;
• Partial compensation for participating in external training and conferences;
• Corporate English school: Group and individual lessons, speaking clubs with colleagues from all over the world;
• Corporate prices on hotels and travel services;
• MyTime Day Off - an extra non-working day without loss of compensation.
