Job description

Are you our new Project Manager Europe ?

The honest pitch

Fonn Group is building cloud-native media tech that's rewriting the rules. Our platforms – Mimir, Saga, Teikna and Kunnusta – are modernizing storytelling workflows from newsrooms in New York to production studios in Sydney.

In just seven years, we've gone from startup to winning deals against incumbents with over 25 years of market dominance. Why? We're building cloud-native media tech that actually works. We're doing something rare in media technology – and we need extraordinary people to push it further.

No mission statements. Just good product.

We don't do vision statements or mission statements. We build software that works.

We give you real autonomy to build what matters. Modern architecture and continuous delivery mean you can move fast and ship to production without bureaucracy. If you're the kind of person who knows what needs to exist and how to build it, you're trusted to do exactly that.

Each team member shapes our products, our culture, and our future – which is why we take hiring seriously. In a world where some companies treat people as replaceable, we build teams where every individual matters.

The Role: Pure Project Management

We’re not looking for a hybrid engineer or a part-time developer. We need a pure-play Project Manager who owns the room, keeps complex deliveries on track, and bridge the gap between commercial promises and engineering execution.

What you'll actually do

• Own the Delivery: Take end-to-end responsibility for planning, executing, and shipping projects across Europe on time and within scope.

• Lead the Team: Coordinate cross-functional delivery teams (Solution Architects, System Engineers, and external stakeholders) to get things done without micromanagement.

• Manage the Commercials: Keep a sharp eye on project budgets, resource utilization, and overall project profitability.

• Bridge Sales & Success: Partner with Sales on pre-sales estimates and project plans, then ensure a flawless handover to Customer Success and Support once live.

• Mitigate Risks: Proactively spot bottlenecks, manage dependencies, and fix risks before they impact the client or the budget.

• Refine the Playbook: Apply our delivery and risk frameworks, while actively finding ways to streamline and improve our methodologies as we scale.

What we're looking for

• Pure PM Experience: At least 2 years of professional project management experience driving software deliveries using modern PM tools.

• Commercial Acumen: Hands-on experience with project budgets, resource allocation, and P&L responsibility.

• Tech-Fluent: You don't write the code, but you have a strong technical understanding of software technology and can talk credibly with architects, engineers, and tech-savvy clients.

• Clear Communicator: Fluent in English with the ability to manage client expectations, navigate tough conversations, and keep internal teams aligned.

• Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related field. (PM certifications are a nice bonus, but your track record is what matters).

• Lean Mindset: A lean, practical approach to project management

Why Join Fonn Group?

Real Problems, Real Scale You'll work on systems handling content workflows for some of the world's largest news and sports organizations. Not demo projects—production deployments where downtime means live broadcasts go dark. These are hard technical problems with actual consequences.

Modern Stack, Not Legacy Cruft. We're cloud-native from the ground up. Serverless architecture, AI-powered automation, real-time collaboration—not 1990s broadcast systems with "cloud" bolted on. We're competing against vendors who've dominated this industry for decades by actually building better technology, not better marketing.

Direct Impact: Small team means your work matters immediately. You'll have direct access to leadership, influence product direction, and see your solutions deployed at organizations that reach millions of viewers daily.

Industry Transformation We're at the inflection point where broadcast media moves from legacy on-prem infrastructure to genuine cloud-native platforms. You'll be part of that shift, working with customers, making decade-defining technology decisions.

No Corporate Theatre. We don't do buzzword bingo or endless meetings—direct communication, technical credibility, and shipping products that work.

EMEA Growth Opportunity You'll help establish our presence in a critical market, working with the autonomy to build something significant rather than executing someone else's playbook.

If you want to work on legitimately hard problems with modern technology at companies you've actually heard of, this is it.
