CAREERS · PROJECT MANAGER
Project manager (f/m/d) - Shopify e-commerce
Remote (DACH)Full-time
About NICCOS
- Everyone talks about Shopify. We make it actually work.
- NICCOS is a 15-person Shopify Plus agency based in Freiburg—focused on complex migrations, enterprise commerce, and conversion optimization in the DACH region. 150+ migrations, 10–20% conversion uplift after launch, and up to 70% less ongoing engineering overhead. Our clients are established brands with seven- to nine-figure annual revenue—brands like Groundies, MyCR7, and Smilodox.
- No corporation. No BS. Real work.
Your role
- Most project managers coordinate tickets. You run projects. For us, it is not about managing tasks—it is about bringing complex e-commerce migrations to a structured, on-time close with real value for the client.
- As a project manager at NICCOS, you work on projects that matter. No project chaos, no half-baked processes—instead clear structures, confident communication, and ownership from kick-off to go-live.
- You are not on your own: you work closely with our Head of Project Management, collaborate with the team, and have direct influence on how we shape the agency around project processes.
What you will do
- Project steering – You lead Shopify and Shopify Plus migration projects from kick-off to go-live, in close alignment with the Head of Project Management
- Planning & tracking – You plan milestones, resources, and budgets and keep the overview even with several parallel projects
- Weeklies & alignment – You facilitate project weeklies and coordinate collaboration between engineering, design, and the client team
- Quality & transparency – You ensure decisions are documented, processes are followed, and outcomes are traceable
- Risk & stakeholder management – You spot risks early and communicate proactively with clients and internally
- Growing the agency – You actively contribute when we evolve internal PM standards, tools, and processes
What you bring - Must-haves
- Several years of experience in project management for digital or e-commerce projects, ideally in an agency or at a Shopify brand
- You know how e-commerce projects work in practice—from discovery through migration to go-live
- Solid Shopify literacy: you understand integrations, typical agency workflows, and can speak as a peer with engineering and design
- Project management experience—you keep the overview when multiple projects and topics run in parallel
- Strong communication—confident in German and English, including with enterprise clients
- Ownership—you drive tasks to completion without someone chasing you
- Growth mindset—you want to grow yourself and the agency, not just ship projects
- Structured way of working with tools such as ClickUp, Google Drive, and Slack (or similar)
- Fluent German and solid English
What you bring - Nice-to-haves
- Experience with Shopify migration projects from other shop systems (e.g. Magento, Shopware, OXID)
- Knowledge of common e-commerce processes such as payments, fulfillment, or marketplace integrations
- Experience with agile or hybrid PM methods (e.g. Scrum, Kanban)
- Basic understanding of technical context in the Shopify ecosystem (integrations, APIs, middleware)
