Our customers, partners and team are highly technical. They love complexity, detail and discussion. They need someone who talks their language, can dive into detail, but holds the bigger picture of the project, its goals and schedules. Someone who knows the strengths, weaknesses, risks and options for solutions. Someone who can use that knowledge to creatively steer, guide, drive and help them all to succeed. Someone who can manage complexity and make it simple. Someone who can still at the end of the day share a beer with everyone and maintain a good relationship.
Technical. Project. Management.
Day to day you work with the delivery manager, senior technical leaders, customer stake holders and their partners in a distributed team environment. You will engage in discussions and decision making from Jira issues to architectural discussions through people issues to filtering unreasonable expectations or misguided estimations.
Through constant contact, planning and sharing, you will monitor, report and adapt to meet both short term demands and long term goals on a number of small connected projects related to embedded software. You'll use your expertise with tech and people to prioritise, lead and deliver. You are not super human, but you are experienced and that experience benefits everyone on the project.
You'll do all this with some cool people like you, on a large project delivering to millions of people and you will take pride in your work.

- 5 years of experience managing software projects at least 3 of which involve embedded devices

About us
Consult Red is a trusted partner to the digital media industry and beyond, driving innovation and delivering support through the entire product development journey. We apply our cutting-edge experience in product development, hardware, embedded and cloud technology to help companies in all sectors to deliver connected devices and systems.
We take good care of our engineers not only salary and benefits-wise but also when it comes to their place of service delivery. Our teams work from fully equipped laboratories in Yorkshire in the UK, Wroclaw in Poland and Los Angeles, California.
And currently, having taken their equipment, office chairs and favourite coffee cups with them, our team members #stayathome and work safely from there. Still, we make our office available for our engineers - if you prefer working from the office, you're free to do so!
Our Recruitment Process
Once you submit your CV, we'll send you a short online form asking you to confirm a couple of things. This will then go directly to the Hiring Manager review. We'll often do a short first stage telephone interview to find out more about you and to check that the role would be a good fit for your requirements.
Then, if you progress to interview stage, we'll try to cover off everything we can in one Skype sitting, to make the process quicker for you - which means our interviews can be slightly longer than average. We hope you'll leave the meeting with a real feel for the job and what it's like to work with us.
With a great place to work in the centre of Wroclaw, one of the best benefits packages in town and a focus on our people - Red is really worth checking out as a place to work.
