Director of Program Management

Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Certifications include ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and we hold partner status with Microsoft, Cisco and VMware.

This is a new role. The team has doubled in size over the past year. Our PMO team manages around 20 active projects. You'll own four to six of them at a time. We're looking for a project manager with enough technical background to follow an architecture discussion and spot when a date is fiction. Remote position. Most of the team is in Lyon, but nobody is required to come in. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

What you'll be doing

• Control scope changes through a formal change request process.
• Coordinate work across engineering, infrastructure, security and business teams.
• Track risks, issues, dependencies and decisions in an RAID log.
• Organise user acceptance testing and sign-off.
• Facilitate requirements sessions with business stakeholders.
• Run kickoffs, weekly status meetings and steering committee updates.

Qualifications

• Strong budget and vendor management skills.
• Comfort holding senior stakeholders to their commitments.
• Bachelor's degree in IT, engineering, business or a related field.
• Solid technical grounding in areas like cloud, networking, ERP or software delivery.
• Experience with both Agile and waterfall delivery.

Pluses

• Industry background in healthcare, finance or manufacturing.
• Earlier career as an engineer or sysadmin.
• Data centre or cloud migration projects.

What we offer

• Health insurance (mutuelle) covered at 60%.
• Two days of remote work per week.
• Meal vouchers.
• Remote work allowance.
• RTT days.

We will only contact shortlisted applicants.
