WHO YOU ARE

• You've worked in design, technology or creative-production environments, as a project manager or as a designer, and know how these projects actually run.
• You’re systematic without being rigid, proactive by default, and you communicate to reduce ambiguity: direct with the team, calm with clients, precise with partners.
• You take responsibility for outcomes and hold yourself to the standards you ask of the team.
• You have genuine curiosity for design and technology: Giga works at the intersection of culture, communication and technology, and this role has to care about that context, even without practising it directly.
  

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Project management

• Make sure every project starts right (ownership, scope, timeline, etc.)
• Track progress against scope, timeline and budget, intervening early when a project risks overrunning.
• Keep client requests inside scope, managing out-of-scope ones.
• Confirm internal alignment before anything reaches a client.

Operational management

• Be the operational point of reference for the team
• Own the studio's daily and weekly rhythm, clearing priorities and resolving blockers before they hit timelines.
• Run a weekly planning session with the seniors allocating resources by project, deadline and budget.
• Keep a live view of studio capacity and rebalance proactively, updating the partners once a week.
• Track time, progress and capacity in real time on our custom management system (after a detailed training session on the usage).
• Coordinate the project manager, supporting their growth and their client-facing work.
  

Client relationships and business development

• Create a strong relationship with the client.
• Spot upsell, extension and continuity opportunities, proposing new scopes if needed.
• Support new-business meetings, quotes and strategic presentations alongside the partners.

Process improvement

• Keep Giga's Playbook alive in practice and studio documentation accurate and useful.
• Spot friction and inefficiency, propose improvements to workflows and tools, and implement them.
  

YOUR SKILLS

• 8+ years of experience in design, digital or creative-production environments.
• Solid command of project planning, capacity management and budget monitoring.
• Familiarity with the phases and logic of design and development projects,
• Ability to build and validate quotes together with creative and technical leads.
• Fluency with project-management and time-tracking tools.
• Professional written and spoken communication in Italian and English.
