Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy • Hybrid
Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead complex, multi-stakeholder projects from initial scoping to final delivery, ensuring quality and client satisfaction. Act as a strategic partner to clients, integrating AI-powered tools and collaborating with technology partners to deliver innovative solutions.
Candidates should have at least 2 years of experience in consulting or complex project environments and a genuine interest in technology and AI. Strong communication skills in both Italian and English are required, along with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders effectively.
#WEARAD
ARAD is a strategic consulting company operating in the field of digital transformation.
We are a boutique firm with a clear vision: consulting that is rigorous, human, and forward-looking. Today, that means embracing artificial intelligence not as a trend, but as a fundamental shift in how businesses operate and compete.
We are looking for inspired talents, digital enthusiasts who want to grow professionally in a fast and stimulating environment, taking advantage of the opportunity to be directly involved right away on various and complex projects — from strategic to organizational consultancy, from optimization of e-commerce performance to product management, from the set-up of digital channels to business development, and increasingly into AI-driven solutions and agentic commerce.
Our team
We are a team of 35 professionals, with a distinctive characteristic: approximately half of our team consists of former C-level executives — CEOs, CDOs, CMOs, and Managing Directors — with over 20 years of international experience in retail, e-commerce, and digital transformation.
This means that as a Project Manager at ARAD, you won't just manage projects: you will learn directly from senior leaders who have built and scaled digital businesses across Europe and beyond. It's an environment designed for accelerated growth and hands-on mentorship that few consulting firms can offer.
Job role
We are seeking for a Project Manager to join our Bologna team. If you have two or three years of experience and you are ready to take on more, we would like to meet you.
This role is central to our operations: you will lead complex, multi-stakeholder engagements and ensure that our projects are delivered with excellence — on time, on budget, and beyond expectations.
This is not a support role. From day one, you will work directly with clients, navigate complex multi-stakeholder environments, and contribute to shaping how ARAD delivers projects in practice.
Responsibilities:
Lead projects end-to-end, from initial scoping through to final delivery, ensuring quality, timelines, and client satisfaction
Coordinate cross-functional teams and manage relationships with senior client stakeholders
Integrate AI-powered tools and workflows into project execution to enhance efficiency and depth of analysis
Collaborate with technology partners to bring innovative solutions to our clients
Monitor project economics, including budgets, margins, and resource allocation
Contribute to the continuous improvement of our project management frameworks
Support business development efforts, including proposal preparation and client expansion initiatives
Requirements:
At least 2+ years of experience in consulting, digital agencies, or complex project environments
Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders with clarity and composure
Genuine interest in technology and artificial intelligence and their application in business contexts
Comfortable working with technical teams and translating between business needs and tech solutions
Strong commercial awareness — you understand that excellent delivery must also be sustainable
Exceptional communication skills in both Italian and English
Based in Bologna or willing to relocate, with flexibility for hybrid working
Valued Experience
Background in retail, e-commerce, or omnichannel projects
Professional certifications (Agile, PMP, Scrum, Design Thinking)
Hands-on exposure to AI tools, digital platforms, or technology implementation projects
International experience — whether through study, work, or cross-border collaboration
Why working with us:
We put people first - life can be hard, we actively try to make it easier: for instance we combined on-premises (either in our Bologna or Milan offices) and remote working before it was cool.
We value ideas - all ideas are worth sharing but most importantly hearing, no matter where they come from: we debate (friendly), we choose the path and we all commit.
We work with the best - we are proud to have both the greatest clients from a wide range of different industries, and the best talents to push our limits further every day.
We have fun along the way - we are a small, cohesive bunch of characters but we are always open to welcoming new friends to the party!
Compensation & benefits
Annual gross salary: €30,000 – €35,000 based on experience, meal vouchers and annual welfare plan.
