Note from the CTO

Hello

Im the CTO at Tradebyte - and I really like my job . We are the silent engine powering the global fashion and lifestyle industry. If youve bought a sneaker or a luxury bag online recently theres a good chance our middleware made that transaction happen. We are a market leader we are experts and we are growing fast. Thats why Im hiring for a (Senior) Executive Project Manager in my team.

THE ROLE AND THE TEAM

The Reality of Scaling. We are a market leader and were growing fast. But with that growth comes complexity. The CTOs focus is on our long-term technology vision and product strategy while the operational reality of our scaling organization requires dedicated leadership in alignment process and communication.

Thats where you come in. We are looking for a strategic partner. Someone who understands that delivery isnt just about ticking boxesits about driving value. We need a leader who can navigate the space between high-level strategy and deep-dive execution.

We are not looking for a purely administrative project manager. We are looking for a ( Senior) Executive Project Manager who can act as a connector and a catalyst. You will ensure that while we dream big we also execute with precision.

If you want a role where you can shape how a product and engineering organization operatesand you are eager to guide decisions through to successful outcomeswe want to hear from you.

The Mission : How youll make an impact

You wont just be managing projects. Youll facilitate the rhythm of the Product and Engineering organization.

Connect the dots. Youll bridge the gap between the Management Boards vision and operational execution. Working closely with the Head of Staff you will ensure the CTOs strategic roadmap acts as the blueprint for Product and Engineering delivery.

Strategic Representation. Youll represent Product & Tech leadership in critical forums. You are empowered to make decisions within your scope and provide the necessary insights to keep the CTO and leadership team aligned.

Program Governance & Orchestration. We deal with massive marketplace integrations (Zalando Amazon AboutYou). Youll lead high-stakes cross-functional initiatives that span the entire Product and Engineering organisation as well as Customer Success.

Operational Excellence. Youll identify systemic bottlenecks and evolve processes to enable flow. From refining Agile methodologies to overseeing resource allocation and budget planning you will build the ecosystem that allows our product teams to thrive.

Translation & Communication. Youre comfortable translating between Business and Tech. You will turn strategic intent into actionable roadmaps ensuring clarity and transparency across the organization.

The Mindset : Who we are looking for

You understand SaaS & Middleware. You navigate the API economy. You know what it means to build high-availability systems in the fashion / lifestyle space where seasonality (hello Black Friday) requires calm focused preparation.

High EQ & Conviction. You know how to build consensus with stakeholders who dont report to you. Youre empathetic and a proactive listener comfortable offering a different perspective to leadership when it supports the best interest of the company.

Bringing clarity. You thrive in environments that are 80% structured and 20% figure it out. You bring order to ambiguity without creating bureaucracy.

Strategic connector. You understand organisational dynamics and know how to leverage your relationships to get things moving.

Experience. Significant experience (5-7 years) in Strategic Operations Technical Program / Project Management or a Chief of Staff capacity within a high-growth SaaS or Tech environment.

Tangible impact. The initiatives you drive will directly affect millions of transactions and thousands of brands. Youll see the tangible results of your work immediately.

The culture. Were deep in the Fashion & Lifestyle space. We value aesthetics speed and creativity but were engineers at heart. We believe the best idea wins regardless of who it comes from.
