  • Full-time

Company Description

Littlecode is a software development company that offers comprehensive services and crafts innovative digital solutions for multinational companies from Germany, Austria, USA, UK, and France using technologies such as .NET, Azure, Angular, React, Blazor and MAUI. Our clients operate in various fields; including manufacturing, energy management, finance, and industrial software, and are world leaders in their industries. 

 
Our base of clients and projects continues to expand, which represents a stage of significant growth for littlecode. This not only presents new opportunities for us, but also for the recruitment of additional talent who are looking for new challenges, exposure to the latest technologies, and opportunities for professional growth and career advancement. 

Job Description

We are looking for an IT Project Manager to join our team at littlecode, as our scope of work and number of projects continues to grow steadily. This role is focused on delivery: planning, coordination, communication, and execution. You will work closely with our development teams and client stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, with high quality, while removing blockers and keeping everyone accountable for commitments and estimates. 

Candidates should have experience managing software projects in Agile environments, along with a solid understanding of SDLC principles. Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills are essential. We value pragmatic people who focus on outcomes, take ownership, and solve problems rather than hiding behind the process. 
 
Your daily tasks and responsibilities can include: 

  • Owning end-to-end project delivery: scope, timelines, milestones, risks, and dependencies 

  • Establishing and maintaining communication with project sponsors, client stakeholders, and internal teams to build trust and ensure alignment 

  • Translating client needs into clear plans and actionable next steps for the team (in cooperation with Tech Leads and other relevant roles) 

  • Organizing and facilitating essential project routines (planning, daily/weekly syncs, demos, retrospectives when useful) with a focus on execution and outcomes 

  • Proactively identifying blockers and driving resolutions (including connecting the team with the right people on the client side who can unblock questions) 

  • Monitoring progress, burn, and delivery forecasts while ensuring transparency through regular status updates and reporting 

  • Ensuring accountability for estimates and commitments but also raising risks early and driving corrective actions 

  • Managing change requests and scope adjustments in a controlled, transparent way (impact on time/cost/quality) 

  • Using project management tools to keep delivery tracking accurate and up to date 

  • Supporting continuous improvement of delivery practices across teams (pragmatic Agile, not ceremony-driven) 

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with previous experience managing IT/software development projects and coordinating cross-functional teams. Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps and/or Jira is required. You should have a strong understanding of Agile principles and methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, etc.) and know how to apply them pragmatically based on project context. 

You will stand out if you have: 

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with fluent English proficiency 

  • Relevant certifications are a plus (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, PSM/CSM, PMI-ACP), but real delivery experience matters most 

 In addition to technical knowledge and skills, we highly value: 

  • collegiality and accessibility 

  • willingness to share knowledge with the rest of the team 

  • providing help and guidance to colleagues 

  • motivation for learning and professional development 

  • ownership, reliability, and direct communication 

Additional Information

What you can expect from us 

We offer an employment contract for an indefinite period. Depending on the level of knowledge and experience you bring to the company, you will have an initial gross income of 3.000€ - 4.000€. We provide hybrid work (Split/Zagreb) and flexible working hours, 24 days of vacation days plus fully paid additional (dodatno zdravstveno) and supplementary health insurance (dopunsko).
