Senior Project Manager

Kurz zusammengefasst

BLP is a fast‑growing Swiss SaaS scale‑up that provides an autonomous‑process platform for finance, procurement and supply‑chain teams. The solution removes manual steps from core business workflows, delivering productivity gains of five to ten times for more than 550 enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 firms. Headquartered on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, BLP is expanding its presence across Europe and North America, with new hubs in Munich and Cologne where this senior‑level role will be based. As a Senior Project Manager you will be responsible for delivering large, global transformations that span multiple ERP systems, legal entities and countries. Your day‑to‑day work includes launching the first go‑live for each customer, running steering committees, and leading a dedicated BLP team on each engagement while juggling several programmes in parallel. You will coordinate Integrations Engineers, Technical Project Managers and AI Automation Specialists, own scope and budget, flag risky assumptions early, and hand over a clean solution to the post‑go‑live consulting team. When a programme deviates from plan you will draft and execute recovery actions, coach junior Project Managers and ensure that every wave of rollout follows the same disciplined approach. The role requires proven experience in complex, multi‑country project delivery. Candidates typically bring at least five years of consulting, implementation or project‑management experience, with a track record of handling large‑scale programmes across several ERP environments and jurisdictions. You must be comfortable presenting to senior finance or IT leaders, and you need to demonstrate the ability to manage scope, budget and escalation processes with precision. Fluency across four "languages", technology, process, data and people, is essential to identify and resolve roadblocks quickly. Additional qualities that will help you succeed include a strong sense of ownership and autonomy, the ability to stay structured under pressure, and a disciplined approach to scope management. Experience working with ERP integrations, AI‑driven automation, or in a consulting or customer‑success environment is advantageous, as is familiarity with BLP's proven onboarding methodology and toolkit. The position offers a hybrid work model: an initial onboarding month in Zurich, followed by remote work or office presence in Munich or Cologne, with occasional travel to DACH‑region customers. Team interaction is encouraged through regular in‑person days, all‑hands meetings and off‑sites, all financially supported by BLP.
