Digital Project Manager
role at
ARAD Digital
ARAD
is a
strategic consulting company
operating in the field of digital transformation. We are
part of the Gellify Group ecosystem, a leading innovation platform that connects startups, corporates, and investors to drive technology‑led growth. This partnership gives us access to cutting‑edge solutions, a broad network of tech innovators, and the ability to deliver transformation projects with both strategic depth and technological excellence. The sectors in which we operate primarily are retail, grocery, food & beverage and fashion.
We are a boutique firm with a
clear vision: consulting that is rigorous, human, and forward‑looking.
Today, that means embracing artificial intelligence not as a trend, but as a fundamental shift in how businesses operate and compete.
We are looking for inspired talents, digital enthusiasts who want to grow professionally in a fast and stimulating environment, taking advantage of the opportunity to be directly involved right away on various and complex projects — from strategic to organizational consultancy, from optimization of e‑commerce performance to product management, from the set‑up of digital channels to business development, and increasingly into AI‑driven solutions and agentic commerce.
Our team
We are a team of 35 professionals, with a distinctive characteristic: approximately half of our team consists of former C‑level executives — CEOs, CDOs, CMOs, and Managing Directors — with over 20 years of international experience in retail, e‑commerce, and digital transformation.
This means that as a Project Manager at ARAD, you won’t just manage projects: you will learn directly from senior leaders who have built and scaled digital businesses across Europe and beyond. It’s an environment designed for accelerated growth and hands‑on mentorship that few consulting firms can offer.
Job role
We are seeking Project Managers at various seniority levels to join our Bologna team. Whether you are taking your first step into project management or you are an experienced professional looking for a new challenge, we are interested in meeting you.
This role is central to our operations: you will lead complex, multi‑stakeholder engagements and ensure that our projects are delivered with excellence — on time, on budget, and beyond expectations.
This is not a traditional project management position. You will act as a strategic partner to our clients, work at the intersection of
business strategy and technology, and play a key role in shaping how ARAD evolves its methodologies for the AI era.
Responsibilities:
Lead projects end‑to‑end, from initial scoping through to final delivery, ensuring quality, timelines, and client satisfaction
Coordinate cross‑functional teams and manage relationships with senior client stakeholders
Integrate AI‑powered tools and workflows into project execution to enhance efficiency and depth of analysis
Collaborate with technology partners to bring innovative solutions to our clients
Monitor project economics, including budgets, margins, and resource allocation
Contribute to the continuous improvement of our project management frameworks
Support business development efforts, including proposal preparation and client expansion initiatives
Requirements:
At least 2+ years of experience in consulting, digital agencies, or complex project environments
Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders with clarity and composure
Genuine interest in
technology and artificial intelligence
and their application in business contexts
Comfortable working with technical teams and translating between business needs and tech solutions
Strong commercial awareness — you understand that excellent delivery must also be sustainable
Exceptional communication skills in both Italian and English
Based in Bologna or willing to relocate, with flexibility for hybrid working
Background in retail, e‑commerce, or omnichannel projects
Professional certifications (Agile, PMP, Scrum, Design Thinking)
Hands‑on exposure to AI tools, digital platforms, or technology implementation projects
International experience — whether through study, work, or cross‑border collaboration
Why working with us:
We put people first
– life can be hard, we actively try to make it easier: for instance we
combined on‑premises
(either in our Bologna or Milan offices)
and remote working
before it was cool.
We value ideas
– all ideas are worth sharing but most importantly hearing, no matter where they come from:
we debate
(friendly), we choose the path
and we all commit .
We work with the best
– we are proud to have both
the greatest clients
from a wide range of different industries, and
the best talents
to push our limits further every day.
We have fun along the way
– we are a small, cohesive bunch of characters but we are always open to
welcoming new friends
to the party!
