Strategic Project Manager

Founded in 2017, refurbed is Europe’s fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, active in 23 European countries and having surpassed €2Bn in GMV — all while being profitable. With beautiful headquarters in Vienna, we operate as a remote-first company and have been recognised as a Top DACH Employer by Kununu for four consecutive years.

Our mission is to make sustainable consumption the easy choice by enabling customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.

If you thrive in an environment that values momentum, ownership, and impact, you’ll feel at home here. We’re a fast-paced, high-performance team that works hard and challenges itself everyday. To enable this high-performance every team member enjoys full autonomy over their location (we’re remote-first).

• You have a growth mindset and a natural curiosity for the start-up and scale-up world, eager to learn, explore new topics, and continuously develop new skills.
• You’re a strong connector and communicator who aligns diverse stakeholders, fosters collaboration, and drives clarity and momentum across teams.

• Lead cross-functional strategic initiatives from concept to execution, developing clear frameworks and communication structures that ensure on-time, in-scope delivery and bring clarity and momentum to complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
• Partner with leadership and department heads to prioritize initiatives aligned with company-wide strategic goals, while measuring and communicating results through quantitative and qualitative insights to drive accountability and continuous improvement.
• Drive OKR alignment and execution across departments, helping teams focus on what truly moves the needle.
• Identify and scale new business verticals and categories, building go-to-market strategies that accelerate growth.

• Drive business intelligence and competitive insights: leveraging market research, performance data, and cross-functional input to identify opportunities, benchmark performance, and inform strategic decision-making.
