Job summary

Reply Polska is building a brand-new Identity and Access Management practice in Poland. As Business Unit Manager, you will head a new team in Katowice from scratch, while connecting with our Düsseldorf colleagues to support projects.

This role blends leadership and delivery, requiring an entrepreneurial mindset, strong stakeholder management, and hands-on involvement in IAM initiatives across the lifecycle, from design to operation.

Qualifications

  • Completed university degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a comparable field.
  • Several years of professional experience leading teams, ideally within consulting or professional services, and comfortable with a dual mandate of people leadership and active project involvement
  • An entrepreneurial mindset: genuinely motivated to build a new unit and team from scratch
  • Solid commercial project management skills: planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting in a billable, multi-project environment
  • Strong stakeholder management skills: able to operate confidently with local team members, international leadership and clients alike
  • Strong communication skills in English and Polish
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to Germany (mainly Düsseldorf) and to client sites

Responsibilities

  • Build up and head a new Business Unit in Poland, growing the team to up to 10 IAM consultants and engineers over the coming 12-month period
  • Take on the professional and disciplinary leadership of the team: actively participate in recruitment and sourcing, onboarding, mentoring and development careers
  • Build up IAM competencies in the team in a targeted way, both by developing existing team members and by specifically recruiting the skills that are still missing
  • Take responsibility for budget, timeline, and successful delivery: staffing plans, utilization, forecasts and monthly reporting
  • Plan and steer assignments across multiple parallel client engagements, balancing delivery commitments against team capacity, flagging risks early
  • Supervise project delivery and report on KPIs against the business plan, working in an agile mode together with an international team
  • Support proposal and bid work with realistic effort estimates and staffing concepts
  • Stay hands-on in client engagements rather than managing from a distance: support and steer projects across the full IAM lifecycle, from solution assessments and technology scouting to integration, implementation, data migration and operations
  • Support the operational run of IAM platforms for our clients, helping the team troubleshoot, maintain and continuously improve solutions already in production
  • Work closely with the Düsseldorf project leads and architects: clear handoffs, shared tooling (Jira, Confluence), and transparent status reporting
