About the Job
We're building a new global Berlitz, and this is your opportunity to help shape it. Nearly 150 years of expertise, meeting the ambition and technology to power a new era of learning.
If you are the kind of person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, isn’t afraid of a blank page, and is excited to help shape the future of a global company undergoing a significant transformation, you might belong at Berlitz!
We're looking for people with software engineering backgrounds who are ready to move into technical project management, owning the business systems work behind our transition from a legacy stack to a new one. These are growth paths, not fully-formed PM seats.
Required Skills & Abilities
Software engineering background — you've built, maintained, or integrated production systems, ideally including APIs, middleware, or data pipelines.
Strong communication skills — able to explain technical tradeoffs to engineers, vendors, and business stakeholders alike.
Detail oriented and structured approach — planning and running complex, multi-stakeholder technical projects to completion, including sequencing, risk management, and timeline ownership.
Comfortable reading and reasoning about system architecture and data models across multiple connected systems without translation from engineering.
Comfortable with ambiguity, especially around evolving scope boundaries between adjacent teams during a platform migration.
Familiarity with billing/invoicing/CRM systems (Salesforce, NetSuite, HubSpot, Stripe, Metronome, Workato, or similar).
Experience with vendor management, including contract and SLA negotiation.
Background in a company undergoing a legacy-to-modern platform migration.
Experience defining integration strategy or standards at an organizational level, not just shipping individual integrations; exposure to integration architecture patterns (point-to-point, iPaaS/middleware, event-driven).
Formal project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or similar) — helpful but not required with structured ways of working.
This is a rare, explicitly structured path out of pure engineering — you're hired as an engineer, judged on engineering judgment, and grow into project management on the job. You'll get unusually broad system exposure fast, which is the kind of company-wide operational map most engineers wait years to see. You will be joining a project management and product operations team and receive ongoing coaching for your career development.
At Berlitz, connecting people across languages and cultures is at the heart of what we do. Our global workplace reflects the diverse world we serve, bringing together different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We create an inclusive environment where everyone has an
