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.

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.

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
