About the Company

We are on a mission to modernize and streamline enterprise business operations by building smart, lean software solutions. We combine AI agents, low-code platforms, modern SaaS tooling, and robust engineering to deliver custom software that clients truly own, without accumulating technical debt or facing vendor lock-in.

Headquartered in Paris, with a distributed tech team operating remotely across Europe, we act as both a strategic consulting partner and a delivery powerhouse. We dive deep into our clients’ core workflows to understand how they operate and engineer solutions that enable them to scale efficiently.

The Mission

We are looking for a standout Technical Project Manager / Product Owner to join our core team and raise the delivery standards across our product and project management organization.

This is not a traditional, coordination-only project management role. We are not looking for someone who simply schedules meetings, passes messages, or writes administrative status reports. Our PMs own their products and projects with complete end-to-end accountability.

From the moment a deal closes and is handed over by the growth team, you take full ownership of technical discovery, scope structuring, engineering execution, budget tracking, and delivery.

We are open to two distinct candidate profiles:

• Senior Technical PM / PO: A proven delivery leader with extensive experience independently driving complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise web and software initiatives from A to Z.
• Mid Technical PM / PO: An ambitious, highly technical product professional with exceptional drive, rapid learning agility, and the potential to step up quickly into autonomous delivery leadership.

What You’ll Do

• End-to-End Delivery Ownership: Take full accountability for delivering projects from initial handover to production launch, managing delivery timelines, six-figure budgets, operational risks, and dependencies.
• Requirements & Technical Specifications: Challenge client assumptions, uncover underlying business requirements, and draft unambiguous, development-ready functional and technical documentation.
• Backlog & Engineering Alignment: Translate high-level requirements into precise, actionable tickets for developers. Work closely with software engineers, developing a deep understanding of backend APIs, data pipelines, and architectural constraints.
• Budget & Scope Management: Continuously track large-scale project budgets, including six-figure contracts and above. Use spreadsheet models to evaluate cost-benefit trade-offs as requirements evolve and clearly communicate financial impacts to executive clients.
• Discovery & Presales Support: Partner closely with technical leads during presales and early discovery. Structure high-level estimates, define technical scope, and facilitate workshops using AI-assisted transcription and synthesis tools.
• Client & Stakeholder Leadership: Act as the primary technical and product partner for French enterprise stakeholders, ensuring alignment between strategic business goals and technical implementation.

Who You Are

• Language Mastery: Native or bilingual fluency in French (C2 level is strictly non-negotiable due to extensive discussions with French enterprise clients) and strong professional fluency in English (C1, spoken and written).
• Location Preference: Ideally based in France, with the ability to occasionally join the team in the Paris office. Strong candidates based elsewhere in the EU with outstanding French communication skills will also be considered.
• Proven Delivery Track Record: Solid experience managing software projects across Agile and hybrid delivery models, including Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe, adapting methodologies to client complexity and engineering maturity.
• Strong Technical Background: An educational or professional foundation in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Web Development, or Data Analysis. Previous hands-on programming experience is highly advantageous.
• Web Systems Literacy: A strong practical understanding of modern web technologies and architecture, including the DOM, HTTPS, REST/GraphQL APIs, relational databases (SQL/MySQL), and frontend/backend systems.
• Hands-on Testing & Debugging: Ability to independently inspect network requests, test endpoints, and troubleshoot data issues using Postman and browser developer tools.
• CMS & Modern Platforms: Experience with CMS architectures such as WordPress, PrestaShop, Drupal, or Magento. Exposure to ArcXP is a distinct advantage.
• AI-First Mindset: Active daily use of AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor to draft documentation, test edge cases, and streamline workflows, alongside familiarity with automation platforms such as n8n and Make.

Toolset

• Project & Knowledge Management: Jira, Confluence, Notion.
• Design & Mapping: Figma, Miro, Excalidraw.
• Inspection & Debugging: Postman, Chrome DevTools.
• AI & Automation: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Make, n8n.
