Senior Technical Project Manager - Client Projects
The Independents · Paris, France · hybrid
Lefty is the leading influencer marketing platform trusted by the world's most prestigious luxury and lifestyle brands We help brands run end-to-end influencer programs: talent discovery, relationship management, automated campaign reporting, and performance measurement.
Our largest clients increasingly ask for tailored work: data feeds into their BI tools, automated exports, integrations with the tools they already use, AI-based content labelling, migrations from other platforms. We're looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager to own these projects.
The RoleYou are the main point of contact for our clients' technical projects, from the first request to go-live and beyond. You report to both the CPO and the CTO, and work closely with Account Managers, CSMs and Engineering. Your time is split roughly 70% on client projects and 30% on internal projects.
You are as comfortable explaining an API schema to a client's data team as presenting a project roadmap to a brand's Global Head of Influence. You set clear expectations, keep everyone informed, and deliver what was promised.
What You'll DoClient-facing:- Run discovery with clients: understand the business need behind each request
- Talk to both technical (IT, data, BI, security) and senior business stakeholders
- Turn client needs into a clear brief: scope, price, ROI, timeline
- Manage expectations: say what's possible, what isn't, and what it costs
- Send regular status updates and run steering meetings on key accounts
- Handle escalations calmly and find solutions when things slip
Client projects (70%):- Scope and deliver projects such as:
- Data exports and automated feeds into client tools (Looker, SharePoint, data warehouses)
- Integrations between Lefty and the tools brands already use (social listening, CRM, SSO)
- Data imports and migrations from other platforms
- AI-based automation (content labelling, logo recognition)
- Custom metrics, reports and workspace configurations
- Write technical specifications and coordinate engineering work
- Test deliveries and validate data quality before handover
- Keep the Client Projects Tracker up to date
Internal projects (30%):- Lead internal data and tooling projects, such as bringing CRM and deals data into our admin tools
- Partner with AMs and CSMs on account priorities and upsell opportunities
- Identify recurring client requests and feed them into the product roadmap
- Build repeatable processes for scoping, pricing and delivery
What We're Looking ForMust-haves:- Combined experience of software engineer and client-facing technical project management
- Hands-on understanding of APIs, data models, exports, 3rd party integration
- Strong client presence: credible with engineers and at ease with senior executives
- Proven ability to manage expectations, negotiate scope and communicate proactively
- Track record delivering complex projects for enterprise clients in B2B SaaS
- Fluent in English and French
Bonus:- Experience with BI, data and social listening tools (Looker, Power BI, BigQuery, SQL, Radarly, Talkwalker)
- Experience with luxury, beauty or retail clients
- Exposure to enterprise security requirements (SSO, security reviews)
- Interest in influencer marketing and social media ecosystems
- Appetite for AI and workflow automation tools
