Project manager (Data Practice)

About T1A

Tier One Analytics (T1A) is a fast-growing consulting company specialising in data engineering, analytics, and modern data platforms. We work with enterprise clients across Europe and North America, helping them build scalable data solutions and accelerate digital transformation.

Our teams operate across multiple regions, and we combine strong technical expertise with a pragmatic, delivery-driven approach. We are now expanding our Data Engineering Practice and looking for a Project Manager who wants to grow inside a dynamic consulting environment.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Project Manager (Middle level) to support end-to-end delivery of data engineering projects: data migrations, data platforms, DWH implementations, and reporting modernisation.

You will work closely with the Practice Lead, solution architects, and distributed engineering teams. This role is not technical in terms of hands-on engineering, but it does require familiarity with modern data concepts and the ability to manage client expectations, control delivery processes, and keep all work streams structured.

A large portion of the role includes:

• managing timelines and scope,
• maintaining documentation,
• tracking hours, budgets, and costs,
• preparing structured reports,
• coordinating communication with clients and internal teams.

If you enjoy structured delivery work, proactive communication, and keeping complex pieces moving — you will feel at home here.

What You Will Do

Project Delivery & Coordination

• Manage end-to-end delivery of data engineering and data management projects.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams: data engineers, architects, analysts.
• Maintain project schedules, track progress, identify blockers, escalate risks.
• Ensure clear, structured communication between clients and delivery teams.
• Facilitate project meetings, syncs, workshops, requirement clarifications.

Client & Stakeholder Management

• Lead day-to-day communication with clients.
• Manage expectations around scope, deadlines, risks, and change requests.
• Prepare and deliver project status updates and reports.

Documentation & Financial Tracking

• Maintain accurate project documentation (plans, RAID logs, decisions, minutes).
• Prepare and track cost estimates, project hours, team utilisation.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and RFP preparation when required.

Delivery Quality & Methodology

• Ensure alignment with internal delivery standards and ways of working.
• Collaborate with architects on planning and technical dependency management.

Contribute to continuous improvement of templates, processes, and best practices.
 

Required Experience

• 2+ years of experience in project management in IT or consulting.
• Demonstrated experience managing data/BI/analytics/data platform projects (at least one end-to-end).
• Strong understanding of core data concepts (DWH, pipelines, migrations, reporting).
• Experience working in a consulting environment or a similarly structured client-facing model.
• Confident stakeholder management skills with senior business and IT stakeholders.
• Strong command of Excel/Google Sheets (costing, calculations, structured reporting).

• English: Upper-Intermediate (B2+) — spoken and written.

Soft Skills That Matter Most

• Highly structured, detail-oriented, and reliable with documentation.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage several contexts in parallel.
