Senior Project Manager/Account Manager (Online Marketing Platform) (offline)

Every customer company has a unique history, culture, and potential. Therefore, each of them needs to be approached in a specific way. We invite a Senior Project Manager/Account Manager whose aim will be not just to make customers happy about their current project. This specialist needs to be able to develop relationships to bring more business cases and opportunities in the future.
You can’t miss a chance to apply for it, if:
- Delivery Management and Delivery organization growth is your #1 priority. Even though you may not be managing all the projects personally, you are responsible for each project in your portfolio and the quality of service provided. Every day you improve your expertise in service delivery models and project process tailoring, as well as coaching skills to help your team of PMs, because you know that your team of PMs is your key to success
- You know how to handle force-major issues and, if it is necessary, can take over the steering wheel of a specific assignment, to help a Project Manager in getting it out of skidding. Therefore, SPM’s expertise in project and delivery management has to be profound
- You take an active role in not only keeping constant close contact with key teammates but also participate in choosing the best experts on the market to make the Competence Center even stronger and more attractive
- You keep a close eye and constantly take proactive and corrective actions on KPIs, such as revenue, profitability, utilization, and attrition
- You act as an Account Manager on specific assignments and allocate time to review a new business proposal prepared by one of your PMs
As an SPM, you’ll contribute to two areas: a big project and collaboration with the customer and huge tasks related to account management and a PM team.
You’ll also face such things:
- work in a large Scrum team of highly-skilled specialists (and we mean it!)
- participate in the product roadmap creation and long-term planning
- maintain and develop relations with the customer
- propose new ideas on the processes to address the project needs.

Customer
The customer is a Swedish startup in the AdTech and Media domain. We have been working with this customer since 2015 (so we already have chemistry). It is interesting to work with them because the team values original and creative ideas, high involvement, and care for product success.
Project
We are developing a leading-edge personalized, cloud-based booking platform for scalable influencer marketing. Two solutions are possible: a cross-market platform for managing campaigns or a white-labeled solution that allows managing campaigns and clients in an efficient manner by means of a branded platform.
Users of the solution are brands, influencer and brand agencies, influencers themselves. It is a marketplace that connects all stakeholders working on launching killer ad campaigns. On one hand, it helps brands and agencies spend less time and money on marketing, and on the other hand, influencers can easily find work and collaborate with renowned brands.
We allow members to collaborate and run influencer campaigns at a scale, so they can grow their business and grow the industry overall. Members can run campaigns in any market, from anywhere in the world at any time of the day.
The solution has a lot of interesting integrations - social media, payment solutions, etc. The development process is quite dynamic with a lot of features introduced in each release.
It is a long-term project with growth ambitions in the future and great plans for product development.
We are inspired by technology and its power to change the future!
