Job description

At Grip, we're building infrastructure - not just for art and CGI, but for scalable, reliable workflows. As our IT Project Manager , you'll own the delivery of technology projects that underpin our platform and tooling. You'll connect technical ambition with operational clarity, ensuring that every IT initiative - from system upgrades to integrations or tooling roll-outs - is executed with precision, transparency, and care.

Your projects will range from making Grip's internal systems, pipelines, and workflows robust, adaptive, and future-ready to implementing custom development projects, including leading requirements gathering, scoping, planning and delivery management. As a hands-on project manager you don't just manage resources, you get actively involved in the activities, offering your knowledge and insights wherever you can. You'll coordinate across teams, balance technical requirements with real-world delivery, and ensure our backbone infrastructure supports our long-term creative and production goals.

If you value clarity, craftsmanship, and quiet mastery - and if you appreciate translating complexity into stable, high-quality technical results - this is the role for you.

• Work with engineering and ops teams to roll out upgrades, integrations, automation, and tooling improvements.

• Ensure that new systems and changes align with Grip's long-term tech roadmap and stability goals.

Job requirements

What you'll bring

Your experience

• 5+ years of experience managing IT or technical projects (software delivery, infrastructure, integrations, internal tooling, etc.).

• Proven track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional IT initiatives on time, on budget, and with high quality.

• Experience coordinating between technical and non-technical stakeholders and translating technical concepts into understandable plans.

• Familiarity with project management methodologies (Agile, Scrum, or hybrid), tools (e.g. Jira, Airtable, Gitlab, DevOps, Clickup), and version control / deployment workflows.

• A mindset of ownership, responsibility, and continuous reliability.

Your mindset & soft skills

• Not a project is executed without a clear plan in mind. And while not dogmatic, you'll get the commitment from all involved stakeholders you need to get to your goal.

• When the unexpected happens, you thrive at solving problems. You love the puzzle a challenging project offers, and you are quick to learn the best ways to get your project to the finish line.

• Clear, structured communication - you can explain complex tech in human-friendly terms.

• Strong organizational skills, ability to manage multiple priorities and dependencies.

• Proactive problem-solving approach: you anticipate issues, plan ahead, and act early.

• Collaborative and humble: you treat internal teams as partners and support them, not micromanage.

• Tech-savvy but not egotistical: you know technology enough to guide projects, but you're focused on results and impact, not technical showmanship.

• Many of the projects you manage involve venturing into undiscovered territory - you love diving into the unknown and laying the groundwork for our future success.
