R&D Project Manager

At BlueLeaders we are looking for an R&D Project Management Technician to join the Situm Technologies team, a company located in Santiago de Compostela.

Situm is a company with more than 10 years of experience that was born as a startup, the result of a research project. During this time, it has become a benchmark in indoor positioning and interactive maps solutions, developing tools that integrate into the app that large buildings provide to visitors to improve their experience. Spaces such as airports, hospitals, campuses, F1 circuits, shopping centers, and campuses trust Situm's technology.

Your mission will be to coordinate the technical, economic, and operational management of national and European calls for proposals presented to Situm, in fields such as generative AI, computer vision, augmented reality, geopositional positioning, and signal processing.

The office is in 📍Santiago, but you can work in a hybrid model, attending the office one day a week. Situm's culture is built around flexibility, autonomy at work, internationalization, and a passion for novelty.

The challenges 🚀

• Comprehensively manage funded R&D projects, covering their planning, coordination, monitoring, and execution control.
• Coordinate the drafting, review, and delivery of milestones, reports, and technical documentation.
• Provide support to technical teams in the organization of tasks, meetings, deadlines, and dependencies.
• Coordinate the start of justification, audit, and documentary traceability processes, in collaboration with the administrative management team.
• Perform economic monitoring of projects: budgets, costs, dedications, and deviations.
• Facilitate communication between technical teams, area managers, clients, partners, suppliers, and funding entities.
• Contribute to improving internal procedures for monitoring, reporting, and project management.
• Depending on your experience and capabilities: participate in other activities such as technical writing, identification of funding opportunities, and searching for partners.

The path to follow ➡️

• In 1 month, the goal is to understand the context: get to know the Situm business and technology, the value proposition, and the main projects developed and ongoing.
• In 3 months you master the operations, actively participating in the coordination and monitoring of projects, interacting with stakeholders, and assuming responsibility for tasks, deadlines, and deliverables.
• From 6 months onwards, you have autonomy in the management and coordination of projects and calls for proposals, performing internal and external planning, anticipating needs, and ensuring the monitoring of technical, economic, and documentary commitments.

About your profile ✅

• You have experience in the management, coordination, or monitoring of R&D projects, preferably funded through national or European public calls and in IT fields.
• University degree in engineering, science, business, or related degrees, preferably with specialization in the technological and/or innovation field.
• Advanced knowledge of the lifecycle of funded projects: planning, execution, technical-economic monitoring, and justification.
• Ability to organize tasks, manage deadlines, monitor budgets, and coordinate multidisciplinary teams.
• You handle project management, documentation, and economic monitoring tools.
• English level equivalent to C1, to work on international projects.
• Residence in Galicia, with availability to attend the office in Santiago frequently and also to travel for meetings, visits, and project activities.

Everything you can gain 🔝

• Being part of a unique technology, in an environment of innovation and high performance.
• Growth in technical skills and personal competencies.
• Living the values that have remained since Situm's origin as a startup: ambition, companionship, creativity, enthusiasm, flexibility, and continuous improvement.
• Remuneration according to your experience, added to the rest of the benefits of working at Situm.
• Career plan to be defined with you according to your motivations, skills, achievements, and potential.
• Transparent and attractive training policy.
• Work-life balance: intensive workday for 4 months (June to September), flexible schedule, 25 days of vacation, and teleworking of your choice (with availability to attend the Situm headquarters in Santiago frequently).
• Working with a young, technical team passionate about technology.
