Senior IT Project Manager (German-speaking)

Join us and work with Google

Aliz is conquering the world by building big data, machine learning and AI solutions as a certified Google Cloud partner. Given that we are growing, we need a German-speaking Senior IT Project Manager who can build up teams on our key accounts. Your focus will be to make sure that both our customers and our engineering teams are happy with the collaboration.
This role will suit you if you

• have an engineering background (worked as an engineer, your husband/wife is an engineer, read/code a lot - anything will fit, just be on top of what we are doing).
• can get to understand what our customer wants, and feel the thrill to get the most out of a relationship with them.
• understand what a software engineer can (and is willing) to do, and especially how to motivate them to do it.
• are OK with the fact that we have our revenue from our customers and understand how you can influence this (we are OK if you just pretend to like all of them - but do pretend at least 🙂).
• like to make things (code, tools, ways of doing things, relationships, etc..) better.
• interested in driving business development and seizing new opportunities, especially as we strengthen our presence in the DACH area.
• like to work in an open and diverse community of IT professionals.
• are comfortable mentoring less senior colleagues to follow your path.

You will be responsible for

• the project delivery of international projects.
• working with international accounts focusing on the DACH region.
• working together with the sales team to ensure a smooth transition from sales to execution.
• gathering, analyzing, and documenting project requirements with our Sales Team.
• planning the project tasks and schedules with one of our architects.
• being the main point of contact for our customers.
• helping our Engineering team to keep the project on track.
• making our customers happy with predictable deliveries and proper communication.
• sharing mistakes and good practices with your colleagues so they can learn from them.
• managing the collaboration externally, so subsequent projects keep coming in.
• managing the collaboration internally, so your team will be happy to work with you on the next project as well.

Requirements
We're looking for you if you

• have any engineering background (Computer Science, Engineering, self-taught, ... any of these are fine as long as you understand that you don't understand everything).
• have good problem solving skills.
• learn fast and can understand complex systems, especially how some seemingly small changes might impact the outcome.
• have held a leadership role in software projects, like Program Manager, Project Manager, Delivery Manager, or Technical Account Manager.
• prefer to get things moving and make progress instead of getting stuck in endless talks.
• have at least 3 years of IT project management experience.
• have the character to represent Aliz in front of our customers.
• have account management ambitions, handling multiple external stakeholders.
• are open to traveling to our customers for shorter or longer (but not that long...) periods, if necessary.
• speak English and German fluently.

Nice-to-haves
We'll put you at the top of our list if you

• also speak Hungarian.
• have Enterprise experience - worked at one, or had one as a client.
• have a BSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• have prior experience with Google Cloud Platform-based projects.

What we offer

• flexible working hours and a hybrid work model, work from home, or from wherever you want.
• a fixed place in our Budapest HQ, with the opportunity to travel globally.
• a Well & Green financial package for physical and mental health and green commuting.
• employee counseling, 100 hours/year of learning time.
• private health insurance, snacks, parties, games, and a dog-friendly office.
• access to one of the best technology provider's wide range of resources.
• training and coaching programs.
• independence and freedom from micromanagement.
• a free environment for you to try out new things.
