Senior eCommerce Project Manager (m/f/d)

Who We Are

growsome is not a typical agency. We build complex headless and composable commerce architectures for ambitious online retailers – with a lean team, a strong freelancer network, and growing project volume.

Our projects are technically demanding, clients expect excellent service, and timelines are realistic but tight. We need someone who doesn't just keep up in this environment but truly takes charge of their projects.

The Role

You take full responsibility for your client projects – from planning to delivery.

This means: Budget, scope, timeline, team management, and client relationships are yours to own. You're not a coordinator – you're the accountable person. You don't escalate first – you solve.

You work closely with the Head of Engineering and the management team.

Your Responsibilities

Project Management & Profitability

You plan, manage, and deliver your projects profitably. You keep budget and margin in sight, identify deviations early, and actively course-correct. You critically review proposals and scopes – before they become problems.

Team Coordination & Resources

You coordinate the project team of employees and freelancers. You know who can do what, plan capacities realistically, and react quickly when things shift.

Risk & Scope Management

You identify risks before they become costly: scope creep, technical dependencies, unrealistic expectations. You manage change requests consistently and communicate impacts clearly – internally and to clients.

Client Communication

You are the primary contact for your clients. You communicate proactively, honestly, and reliably – even when it's uncomfortable. Trust comes from reliability, not just good news.

AI-Driven Efficiency

You use AI tools strategically to deliver your projects more efficiently – in planning, documentation, QA, or communication. You bring learnings to the team and help establish good approaches.

Interface to Sales and Tech

You participate in proposal evaluation: Is the scope realistic? Is the calculation solid? You bring operational experience before a project starts – not after.

What You Bring

• Several years of experience as a project manager at an agency or consultancy, ideally in e-commerce
• Proven track record in independently managing complex, parallel client projects
• Strong sense for budget, margin, and financial project management
• Experience working with freelancers and interdisciplinary teams
• Clear, reliable communication – internally and with clients
• Structured thinking in complex, sometimes unclear situations
• Basic technical understanding in e-commerce or software (no coding required)
• Business-fluent English

Important: You're not the coordinator who passes on tasks. You're the person where responsibility lies – and stays.

What We're Not Looking For

If you wait for approvals, avoid conflicts, or delegate problems upward instead of solving them, you won't be happy here. This role needs someone who doesn't treat ownership as a buzzword.

What Awaits You

• Technically challenging projects with real creative freedom
• A lean, competent team without excessive meeting culture
• Direct communication with management and Head of Engineering
• High personal responsibility, short decision paths
• Remote-friendly work environment

Why This Role Now

Our project volume is growing – and so is the demand for clean, stable delivery. We're looking for someone who doesn't shy away from this responsibility, but seeks it.
