Project & Team Lead at Dawn Technology

Ready to Join Us?

We know that what seems simple at first glance is often more complex than it appears. And we understand that technology should not be a barrier, but rather a bridge to a sustainable society.

At Dawn Technology (Delft), we don't just build digital solutions. We develop high-quality, custom-made software that enriches people's lives. Behind every seamless experience lies smart, well-thought-out technology—and that's what we do best. We never compromise on quality and always strive for the best possible solution, down to the smallest detail.

With us, you won't be working in a slow-moving corporate environment, but in a compact, agile organization where your work has a direct impact. As a Project Manager, you are the vital link between the client, developers, and leadership. You bring structure, maintain oversight, and keep projects moving—from the first sprint to the final invoice. Project planning, client communication, team coordination—anything but standard.

About the Role:
As a Project Manager, you're the one who brings clarity and structure. You create realistic timelines, keep track of deadlines, and seamlessly coordinate between clients, developers, and management. You understand how to work with IT teams, but you're not expected to write code—you simply know who to involve, and when.

You'll be working in a dynamic environment where flexibility is just as important as structure. You choose the right approach for each project—agile/scrum when it fits, pragmatic when needed. You're both a thinker and a doer: you manage budgets, organize demos, gather and process client feedback, and check in with the team on a daily basis.

What You'll Be Doing:

Project Planning & Structure

• Create project plans and monitor deadlines, dependencies, and milestones.

• Identify the people and resources needed.

• Implement agile/scrum methods tailored to the team and organizational context.

• Work with tools like Jira, Google Workspace, or Office 365.

Client Communication & Coordination

• You are the main point of contact: managing progress, priorities, and changes.

• You handle expectation management—both externally with the client and internally with the team.

• You organize demos, gather and process feedback, and keep everyone aligned.

Team Coordination & Developer Support

• Daily or weekly check-ins with the team.

• Translate priorities into clear, actionable tasks.

• Identify and resolve issues early (e.g., technical bottlenecks or lack of clarity).

• You pay attention to the people behind the work, sense team dynamics, and ensure focus. You act as the bridge between client and team.

Budget Monitoring & Reporting

• Track project hours and monitor budgets.

• Support invoicing and report to management.

• In some cases, prepare quotes or discuss contract changes with the client.

Requirements:

We're looking for a versatile project manager who feels at home in a smaller organization. You are a natural connector with an affinity for IT, and you know how to navigate between technical details and client expectations. You are professional, engaged, and flexible in your approach.

What You Bring:

• Experience in project management within an IT or digital environment.

• Affinity with software development (you don't need to be a developer).

• You communicate easily with both clients and tech teams.

• You can manage multiple projects and balance different interests.

• You take responsibility and maintain oversight—even when things get busy.

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to help build software that's literally out of this world.

• A market-based salary, depending on your knowledge and experience.

• 26 vacation days.

• A well-organized pension plan.

• Bicycle plan.

• Mobility plan.

• A beautiful office.

• A team full of true tech enthusiasts.

• A personal development budget.

• Flexible working hours and the option to work from home.
