PROJECT MANAGER

Location: Alkmaar, Netherlands

Working Arrangement: 5 Days Onsite, Alkmaar Office

JOIN OUR TEAM AS A PROJECT MANAGER AT BEYOND SPORTS

If you’re someone who thrives on bringing people, technology, and clients together, enjoys taking ownership of projects from start to finish, and gets energy from delivering high-quality digital products, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

At Beyond Sports, you’ll work on innovative consumer-facing products and experiences within the sports world, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to turn ideas and client requirements into successful deliveries.

WHAT YOUR DAY WILL LOOK LIKE

As a Project Manager within the Beyond Sports Delivery Team, you’ll be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of consumer-facing software projects, including websites, mobile applications, data visualizations, and other digital sports experiences.

You’ll take ownership of scoping, planning, budgeting, and project delivery, while making sure projects stay on track and meet the quality our clients and users expect. You’ll work closely with our Design, Engineering, and QA teams, facilitating collaboration and ensuring everyone has the clarity they need to deliver successfully.

You’ll also be a key point of contact for our external clients. From translating customer requirements and feedback into clear scopes, functional requirements, and user stories to managing expectations, risks, and project progress, you’ll make sure communication stays clear throughout the entire project lifecycle.

When our products go live, you’ll be there too, acting as a central point of communication and helping coordinate and escalate where necessary during live events.

WHAT WE VALUE

At Beyond Sports, we value people who take ownership, communicate clearly, and are comfortable working in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

As a Project Manager, you’ll need to be proactive and organised, while also being able to adapt your approach depending on the project, client, and team you’re working with. You should be comfortable managing several projects at once and confident bringing together different perspectives to keep everyone moving towards the same goal.

We’re looking for someone who understands the world of technology and software development and can comfortably translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience working with data-driven products or projects is particularly valuable for this role.

While this role is based in Alkmaar, Netherlands, we believe in the power of in-person collaboration, so we expect you to be available for 32–40 hours per week in the office.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

You don’t need to tick every box, but here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience managing software or digital projects from start to finish, ideally including consumer-facing products such as websites, mobile applications, or data visualization products
  • Experience with project scoping, planning, budgeting, and resource coordination
  • Strong understanding of software development processes and working with multidisciplinary teams across Design, Engineering, and QA
  • Experience translating customer requirements and feedback into clear scopes, functional requirements, and user stories
  • Strong client and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to act as the main point of contact throughout project delivery
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience managing project risks, issues, reporting, documentation, and delivery progress
  • The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining quality and attention to detail
  • A proactive and solution-oriented approach to problem-solving
  • Strong collaboration and facilitation skills, with the ability to bring teams and stakeholders together around decisions
  • The confidence to negotiate, manage expectations, and resolve conflicts professionally when needed
  • Experience working with project management and delivery tools such as Azure DevOps and Jira
  • Familiarity with modern AI tools such as Copilot and Claude
  • A good understanding of data or data-driven products is strongly preferred

Nice to have:

  • Experience with tools such as Figma and Trello
  • Experience working within the sports, media, broadcast, or technology industry
  • Experience supporting the delivery of live products or events
  • Experience identifying and implementing improvements to delivery processes and ways of working
