Descripción de la oferta
We are looking for an experienced IT Project Manager to join our IT team, based in one of the following locations in Europe: Warsaw (Poland), Barcelona (Spain), Sofia (Bulgaria), Prague (Czech Republic), or Hoofddorp (the Netherlands).
Barentz is the global specialty ingredients solution provider. The company sources branded specialty ingredients from leading manufacturers worldwide and its ingredient experts provide value-added technical support which includes pre-mixing, blending, ingredient formulation and ingredient testing from its state-of-the-art, customized formulation centers and application laboratories in EMEA, Americas and Asia-Pacific.
Established in 1953, Barentz has operations in more than 70 countries with a strong presence in Europe and North America, and a rapidly growing network in Latin America and Asia-Pacific. We are looking to hire an IT Project Manager who will bring proven project management experience (5-8 years), independently managing end-to-end project delivery within the broader IT and business transformation portfolio. For the first year, this role is focused on providing PMO and project coordination support for our ongoing EMEA-wide ERP program and will play a critical role in enabling structured delivery, governance, and execution support during a key phase of the transformation. As of the second year, the role will transition into an independent Project Manager role where the individual will be end-to-end responsible for delivering standalone projects within our project portfolio. This transition in roles is designed to allow the candidate to build deep program context and delivery maturity before taking on end-to-end project ownership in future assignments.
For the initial assignment, this role reports to the ERP program director, supporting the smooth execution of the program by owning the project support activities, as outlined below
Key Responsibilities (Initial Focus – ERP Program PMO)
Provide day-to-day PMO and coordination support to the ERP program across EMEA
Support program planning, scheduling, dependency tracking, and milestone management
Support financial tracking, budget monitoring, and forecast updates in line with program governance
Key Responsibilities (Future Focus – Project Manager)
Over time, and subject to performance, the role will evolve beyond program support. Take on independent project management responsibility for selected projects within the IT and business change portfolio
Lead projects end-to-end, including planning, execution, stakeholder management, and delivery
Apply program and PMO experience to improve project delivery standards across the portfolio
This role therefore suits someone who values strong delivery foundations and governance, and who is motivated to apply those skills later in a full project ownership context.
You are a Project Management professional who sees PMO as a core delivery capability, not an administrative function, and who brings structure, clarity, and discipline to complex programs.
Strong knowledge of project management/delivery methodologies - ideally PRINCE2 /PMP certified and proven experience with applying these methodologies. Demonstrates a structured and analytical working style, with the ability to establish clear plans, enforce governance, surface risks early, and bring order to complex project landscapes. You have experience operating within cross-functional project portfolios, delivering initiatives across business applications, commercial processes, technology and infrastructure, and core operations. Nice to have, if you are experienced in Data, Data Analytics, or AI-related programs.
You are comfortable enforcing process compliance, challenging ambiguity, and driving clarity to support effective project execution.
You actively enable project teams by introducing consistency, transparency, and delivery rigor.
You are confident engaging with senior stakeholders, vendors, and delivery teams within matrix-driven, international environments.
You communicate clearly and effectively at all levels, are proficient with common project management tools, and are fluent in English (written and spoken).
It is an inspiring multinational company with fast-growing market segments and global coverage.
Flexible and hybrid working environment.
