IT Project Manager – Office Technology & Workplace Build-outs

Location: EMEA (Hybrid – some travel required)

TikTok is the leading platform for short-form mobile video. Our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. As we continue to grow rapidly across EMEA, we’re investing in high-quality, tech-enabled workspaces to support our expanding teams.

We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on IT Project Manager to support the delivery of multiple office build-outs and workplace technology projects across the EMEA region. This is a practical role focused on delivering AV, network, and IT infrastructure into new and existing TikTok office spaces. You’ll manage several concurrent projects – from small (20–50 person) to large (100+ person) offices – and play a key role in getting these spaces live and fully functional.

You’ll work with internal teams, vendors, and consultants across regions, overseeing everything from design coordination and delivery milestones to post-implementation reviews. Some leases are ending soon, so timelines are tight and delivery will need to be sharp.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end project delivery for office build-outs and IT infrastructure deployments across EMEA
• Define project scopes and develop detailed implementation plans
• Manage project budgets (£1m+), timelines, risks and reporting
• Coordinate closely with internal teams (e.g. Workplace, Procurement, IT) and external vendors
• Own the day-to-day delivery of AV, network, and workplace systems across multiple sites
• Drive procurement processes, vendor onboarding, and contract reviews
• Ensure systems are designed, tested, and handed over smoothly
• Manage design, fit-out, and commissioning timelines with local contractors and integrators
• Lead post-project reviews and ensure lessons are documented and shared
• Represent TikTok IT in meetings and across all build projects professionally and reliably

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years’ experience delivering IT and workplace tech projects (e.g. AV, network, systems)
• Track record managing IT office fit-outs, ideally in global or regional roles
• Ability to manage multiple parallel projects, with a mix of sizes and scopes
• Strong budget management and vendor coordination skills
• Comfortable working at pace and managing shifting priorities
• Confident communicator with clear reporting skills (verbal and written)
• Familiar with PM tools (e.g. Asana, MS Project, Jira)
• Knowledge of Agile/Waterfall or hybrid PM methods (Prince2, ITIL a bonus)
• Willingness to travel up to 1 week/month within EMEA
• Adaptable, solutions-focused, and pragmatic in approach

Ideal Background

This role would suit someone with:

• A generalist IT background and solid project delivery experience
• Exposure to global or fast-scaling tech environments (not public sector or purely internal IT support)
• A proactive, hands-on style and ability to lead without constant oversight
• Experience working across cultures and time zones

Why Join?

• You’ll be delivering high-impact projects in one of the most influential tech companies globally
• These offices support real business growth – from sales teams to strategic hubs
• Expect variety – each site brings different challenges, vendors, and requirements
• Add significant, high-visibility project experience to your CV
• Work in a team that values clarity, accountability, and getting things done
