Strategic Project Manager - a letter from the person you'd work with

Most job ads are written by no one, for everyone. I want to do this differently.

This role reports directly to me, and whoever takes it will work closely with me and the rest of the management team. So instead of a template, here's what this job is, how I work, and how you can decide whether it's for you.

What this job actually is

As voize grows, so does its complexity. More teams, more markets, more moving parts. And with that comes work that matters but doesn't naturally belong to anyone: a project that cuts across three teams. A new initiative that needs someone to get it off the ground. A problem everyone sees but nobody has the capacity to solve.

We're building a CEO Office to own exactly this work. You'd be its second hire.

I fundamentally believe in the value of generalists: people who can walk into an unfamiliar topic, make sense of it, and get things done. You'd be our Swiss Army knife, moving between different parts of the company and taking responsibility wherever it's needed.

Sometimes you'll own a project with a clear finish line. You solve the problem, deliver the result, and move on. Sometimes you'll build something that needs to keep running. Then your job includes finding its long-term home in the organization and handing it over properly. Either way, you own it until it works.

One week you're working on a question that shapes a management decision. The next you're chasing down details, coordinating teams, or doing operational groundwork nobody will ever applaud. Both matter equally. If "done" is your favorite word, keep going.

How I work

I give trust and autonomy by default. The way I see my job as a manager: agree on clear goals, give you the resources to get there, unblock you when you're stuck, teach you what I know, and then get out of the way. I care about outcomes, not hours.

The flip side: you'll get a lot of freedom and little oversight. That's a gift if you work autonomously, and a problem if you don't. Autonomy doesn't mean silence, though. I expect you to ask for help early, not after something has quietly derailed.
