What you’ll be doing:

As a Junior Project Manager, you’ll learn to run multiple global market research projects — from the initial kick-off to final delivery. You’ll work with diverse teams around the world and gradually grow into a confident project leader. You’ll:

• Be the go-to person for internal clients and teams working on your projects
• Set up new projects: define timelines, budgets, and potential risks
• Keep projects on track: manage changes, communicate updates, and keep everyone aligned
• Work with data: solve issues, check quality, and deliver insights
• Learn project financials: understand costs and explore ways to save without cutting corners
• Grow with us: after training, you’ll contribute to improving our ways of working and support your peers

We’ll provide you with comprehensive training, a buddy to guide you, and access to global experts to help you build your skills fast.

What makes you a great fit?

You don’t need years of experience — just the right attitude and a desire to grow. We’re looking for:

• A Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent)
• Passion for organization, problem-solving, and communication
• Strong communication skills in English (spoken and written)
• Curiosity about project management, research, and tech tools
• Ability to stay calm and focused when things change or get busy
• A good grasp of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
• A positive, open-minded approach and interest in working with people from all over the world

If you’re someone who panics at the sight of a spreadsheet or avoids picking up the phone — this might not be the right role for you. But if you're up for the challenge, we’ll teach you everything else.

What you’ll love about working here:

• Work on global projects for some of the world’s biggest brands
• Be part of a diverse and dynamic team (40+ nationalities!)
• Learn and grow fast — our training programs and mentors will set you up for success
• Enjoy a hybrid work model, with flexibility and a modern Prague office
• Benefit from perks like:
  • 25 vacation days + 2 paid volunteering days
  • Mental health support for you and your family
  • Yoga classes twice a week
  • Meal vouchers, pension contributions
  • Multisport card
  • Benefits points
  • Free access to LinkedIn Learning and more

Please note: We are looking to fill this role as soon as possible, so we encourage candidates who are available to start within the next month and already have legal permission to work in the Czech Republic to apply. Interviews will be held in person at our office near Strossmayerovo náměstí.
