Project Manager (French-fluent)

Project Manager (French-fluent) We're a small, technical team of about 50 people with a very ambitious mission: growing our delivery organization to keep pace with new client rollouts across Europe. APPLY HERE Project Manager (French-fluent) (m/f/d) Stratio keeps public transport running. We monitor fleet health in real time and tell the world's largest operators exactly what's going to fail before it does. We're a small, technical team of about 50 people with a very ambitious mission: growing our delivery organization to keep pace with new client rollouts across Europe. The role Our clients' success starts with how we deploy. You’ll own delivery for our French-speaking clients, from project kickoff to steady-state operation. You’ll ensure a successful project implementation, a seamless integration of Stratio products with vehicles, and the effective deployment of our solutions. In this role, you’ll coordinate cross-functional teams and stakeholders, both inside and outside Stratio, to ensure projects run smoothly and client satisfaction is high. What your weeks look like Project delivery & team coordination Serve as the single point of coordination between Stratio and the client and other stakeholders involved in the project to gather, validate, and lock down all technical information required before deployment. On top of that, you will have to ensure that projects are successfully implemented by coordinating your assigned field team. You’ll organize priorities, assign tasks, support the team, track progress, and keep communication clear, both internally and externally. Client & onsite coordination You coordinate onsite activities directly with clients, ensuring vehicle availability and managing administrative tasks such as compliance requirements at client depots. Logistics & project requests You handle project requests and the logistics that come with them, scheduling travel, accommodation, materials to support the implementation and whatever else the team needs on the ground. Compliance, quality & documentation You ensure compliance with Stratio's procedures and quality standards, maintained through proper project documentation. Budget You track and manage project expenses, keeping visibility on cost as projects move forward. Installation partners management You identify and onboard external installation partners, manage ongoing relationships, evaluate their performance, and ensure consistent quality across all installations. What we're looking for Must have: Professional experience in project management or a similar role, ideally 2 to 3 years, in a customer-facing setting or working with stakeholders at an executive level French C1 English B1 (minimum), C1 is valued Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; proactive and process-oriented, comfortable bringing structure to a fast-moving, unpredicted, and yes, sometimes chaotic environment Good communication skills Ability to work independently and under pressure Proficiency in Excel Strong plus: Experience with Jira Comfort using AI tools in your workflow PMP certification Background in the automotive (or related) industry What this is not This is not a purely process-driven, predictable SaaS delivery role. You'll need to learn our business quickly, including the technical side, so you can support deployments rather than just coordinate them. Client sites, vehicle availability, and depot compliance mean plans change, and you adapt in real time. You'll coordinate onsite activity and travel logistics regularly. Why this is interesting You'd own the relationship, delivery, and outcomes for our French-speaking clients, at a company with real customers, real revenue, and a product that genuinely works. You'd join early enough to help shape how projects get run, not just execute someone else's playbook, with direct visibility to leadership and the founders.
