Special Project Manager

• Improve internal processes — diagnose broken or slow processes, redesign them, and implement the fix (not just recommend it).
• Help leaders improve their operations — embed with studio, publishing, or functional leaders to raise the performance of their teams: KPIs, organization, tooling, ways of working.
• Run tactical projects — scoped 4–12 week projects: market analysis, cost reviews, post-mortems, integration work, tooling rollouts.
• Fix internal issues of many types — ambiguous, cross-team problems nobody owns; you own them until they're solved.

Requirements

• 2–5 years at a top strategy consulting firm (MBB, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Kearney, Advancy, EY-Parthenon), in M&A/transaction services, or in a high-performing BizOps/strategy team of a scale-up.
• Structured problem-solver with strong analytics (advanced Excel/Sheets; SQL a strong plus).
• Doer mentality: implements solutions, works autonomously, handles several workstreams.
• Strong interpersonal skills — able to win the trust of leaders quickly without formal authority.
• Top academic background (business or engineering).
• Fluent English (French is a plus).
• Passion for games/consumer apps a plus.
