How to become a Junior Project Manager at scandiweb eCommerce expert team?

We are a very inclusive company with colleagues across 30+ countries on all continents with the female developer ratio being among the highest in the industry. We welcome people from different paths of life, who can complete a technical test, which consists of a project challenge. 

The test does not check any particular Project Management knowledge or understanding of a technology we work with. Instead, it aims to test common sense and understanding of cause-effect relationships, attention to detail, and the ability to give clear instructions in written and visual form. We also test your capability to learn during the test as we will share educational materials for some of the tasks.

Everybody who completes the Entry Level test and successfully passes the Practical Trial day task, is invited to an interview. We are confident that if you can complete the test task and technical interview, you have the necessary background to let us guide you further on the path to engineering expertise and enterprise-level delivery. 

Your previous experience and education do not matter; what matters is your ability to deliver results starting from the test task, and your enthusiasm and openness to embrace new knowledge and processes. You can even fail the test and re-apply in 3 to 6 months to re-do it; we will provide you with feedback and will appreciate your ability to act on it to improve and pass. Continuous learning and acting on feedback are among our core organizational values.

What are the responsibilities of a Junior Project Manager?

Once you start your career at scandiweb, your first responsibility is to complete onboarding in the company, setting you up in all the processes and systems. This process is outlined in our Learning System and you will be supported by an HR member of our team. 

Your next responsibility is to complete the Starter Training Course to ensure that you can join a commercial project with a minimum necessary knowledge of the workflow and quality requirements. 

Once you start your active work in the role of Junior Project Manager, your responsibilities are:

  • Converting high-level user stories into smaller tasks, making sure the task aligns with the capabilities of the platform requiring configuration, styling, extension, or custom coding to achieve the necessary result;
  • Scheduling and facilitating set team processes such as daily standup, sprint planning, and demos;
  • Maintaining a friendly ambiance within your team, engaging our Events Team to arrange ice-breaking or celebratory events for your team;
  • Notifying the Senior Project Manager assigned to you or the Delivery Manager of any blockers, concerns, or issues beyond your resolution ability;
  • Keeping project roadmap and timeline updated, understanding project scope, and escalating once you see that there is a scope creep risk from design changes, functionality changes, or third-party dependency changes;
  • Being able to provide feedback on your team's competence, ability to communicate, and deliver results on time;
  • Assessing project scope versus resources available and requesting the Resourcing team to onboard extra or offboard some team members;
  • Maintaining active communication with customers and third-party teams to resolve any pending questions with them or escalate such to your more senior colleagues;
  • Collaborating with internal competency centers to improve delivery results and ensure the use of best practices;
  • Upgrading existing competencies by taking part in the relevant certification processes organized by the company;
  • Deepening your knowledge of libraries, frameworks, and platforms that are necessary for a successful delivery for customers;
  • Integrating internal and external AI tools and Co-pilots to improve the speed and quality of your Project Management work.

Remember, at scandiweb, you will be given the necessary and sufficient training to understand the capabilities of the tools and platforms we are using. This knowledge is a key success factor in describing, detailing, and delegating work to your team. 

At scandiweb, a Project Manager is not merely an administrative role putting together charts, timelines, and facilitating processes, but instead is a driving force for the project delivery coming from understanding platform capabilities and customer needs on a business level. There is a component of a small-scale Solution Architect in our Project Management role. This will help you to advance further in your career and not face the usual Project Management glass ceiling.

Further career growth for Junior Project Manager

You will get support in career counseling from our HR department as each career path is unique taking into account your personal strengths and ambitions.

Project managers typically advance to Senior Project Manager by gaining the ability to oversee multiple projects and their teams, lead the work of Junior Project managers while understanding and addressing the core concerns of customers, and ensure delivery in cooperation with Delivery Managers and other internal parties.

The role culminates in a Delivery Manager and Partner position, where you take strategic ownership over the delivery of multiple projects in your portfolio by guiding responsible Project Managers and teams ensuring good project vitals, focusing on expanding cooperation, and building relations with existing and new clients.

What will help you to advance in your career starting as a Junior Project Manager?
