What you will do. A glimpse into your role:

The IT Project Manager is responsible for delivering complex and business‑critical IT projects within Global Blue. This role manages the full project lifecycle — planning, execution, delivery, and closure — ensuring outcomes are achieved on time, within budget, and at the highest quality standards.

A key focus of this position will be to lead the migration or replacement of legacy back‑office systems (invoicing, accounting, transaction processing). While not mandatory, experience in similar transformation initiatives is highly appreciated and considered a strong advantage.

• You deliver and manage IT projects on time, within budget, and in line with quality expectations.

• You guide, support, and motivate internal and external project team members across the full project lifecycle.

• You create clear and comprehensive project documentation, ensuring transparency and alignment.

• You prepare and present consistent project status reporting to stakeholders at all levels.

• You address and resolve conflicts in a solution‑oriented and sustainable way.

• You successfully lead the migration or replacement of legacy back‑office systems, ensuring smooth transitions from current platforms to modern architectures.

• You collaborate effectively with technical teams, business subject‑matter experts, and executive stakeholders, especially within domains such as invoicing, accounting, and transaction processing.

• You have strong decision-making, analytical, and problem‑solving skills.

• You can organize efficiently and prioritize in complex multi‑stakeholder environments.

• You communicate clearly and professionally with diverse teams, including executives and expert groups.
