Job Description

Sales Systems Project Lead (f/m/x)

in Mars Wrigley

Finance Department

Location: Warsaw

Hybrid working

*This is a fixed term contract until December 2027*

As the Sales Systems Project Lead, you will take operational, hands-on ownership of project coordination and delivery for digital sales tools, reporting environments, and automated data workflows across commercial and field sales teams. Acting as the central operational bridge and technical liaison, you will coordinate end-to-end implementation cycles, from gathering practical requirements across Sales and Sales Operations, translating them into actionable backlogs for external IT vendors, to actively managing schedules, risk mitigation, and operational status reviews. In parallel, you will independently handle the technical foundation (relational databases, SQL queries, automated reporting pipelines, and dashboards), bringing structure to ambiguous processes, coordinating user validation and rollouts, resolving data anomalies, and ensuring high system adoption and reliable daily tool availability.

What would be your key responsibilities?

• Project Framework, Planning & Scope Coordination: Define project boundaries, business objectives, milestones, and success criteria for sales tools and data initiatives; facilitate status meetings, and retrospectives; actively identify delivery bottlenecks, manage scope changes diplomatically, and drive mitigation plans to keep rollouts on track.
• External Vendor Delivery & Process Automation: Serve as the day-to-day operational bridge between commercial stakeholders and external software/data vendors; translate business workflows into clear functional specifications and acceptance criteria; supervise external deliverables and continuously automate repetitive reporting and data collection processes.
• Data Extraction & Quality Assurance: Extract, clean, and integrate sales data from multiple relational sources using SQL; monitor data consistency, proactively identify and resolve anomalies to ensure accurate, transparent, and timely data to support commercial decision-making.

What are we looking for?

• Hands-on Project Coordination & Ambiguity Management: Proven operational experience (approx. 2–3 years) in coordinating digital, data, or systems implementation projects. Practical skills in milestone planning, task estimation, running productive status meetings and retrospectives, and structuring chaotic processes into clear action plans even when formal guidelines are incomplete.
• Data Analytics, SQL & Reporting Stack: Practical ability to independently query, join, filter, and validate data from relational databases using SQL, combined with proven experience in building actionable dashboards (Power BI, advanced Microsoft Excel including Power Query, formulas, and pivot tables) to provide reliable data for commercial teams.
• Vendor Coordination & Process Automation: Practical experience in collaborating with external IT vendors and software development teams translating commercial needs into structured backlogs, tracking deliverables, and identifying anomalies. Demonstrated ability to optimize and automate recurring reporting routines and data flows (e.g., using workflow automation rules, scripts, or scheduled ETL queries).
• Stakeholder Management, Assertiveness & Informal Leadership: Ability to build trusted, collaborative partnerships across diverse levels of the organization (Sales, project sponsors, and external partners) without direct authority; strong negotiation skills and diplomatic assertiveness to navigate scope conflicts, timeline changes, and trade-offs.
• Fluent command of Polish and English (min. B2/C1).

Nice to have:

• Hands-on experience with workflow automation platforms (e.g., Power Automate, ETL tools, or data transformation scripting).
• Exposure to retail execution, field sales operations, or retail execution metrics (e.g., Perfect Store standards).
• Familiarity with agile delivery techniques (sprint planning, backlog grooming, user stories) or formal project management methodologies.
