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
