What they need
Lefty is the leading influencer marketing platform trusted by the world's most prestigious luxury and lifestyle brands We help brands run end-to-end influencer programs: talent discovery, relationship management, automated campaign reporting, and performance measurement.
Our largest clients increasingly ask for tailored work: data feeds into their BI tools, automated exports, integrations with the tools they already use, AI-based content labelling, migrations from other platforms. We're looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager to own these projects.
The Role
You are the main point of contact for our clients' technical projects, from the first request to go-live and beyond. You report to both the CPO and the CTO, and work closely with Account Managers, CSMs and Engineering. Your time is split roughly 70% on client projects and 30% on internal projects.
You are as comfortable explaining an API schema to a client's data team as presenting a project roadmap to a brand's Global Head of Influence. You set clear expectations, keep everyone informed, and deliver what was promised.
What You'll Do
Client-facing:
- Run discovery with clients: understand the business need behind each request
- Talk to both technical (IT, data, BI, security) and senior business stakeholders
- Turn client needs into a clear brief: scope, price, ROI, timeline
- Manage expectations: say what's possible, what isn't, and what it costs
- Send regular status updates and run steering meetings on key accounts
- Handle escalations calmly and find solutions when things slip
Client projects (70%):
Scope and deliver projects such as:
- Data exports and automated feeds into client tools (Looker, SharePoint, data warehouses)
- Integrations between Lefty and the tools brands already use (social listening, CRM, SSO)
- Data imports and migrations from other platforms
- AI-based automation (content labelling, logo recognition)
- Custom metrics, reports and workspace configurations
Write technical specifications and coordinate engineering work
Test deliveries and validate data quality before handover
Keep the Client Projects Tracker up to date
Internal projects (30%):
- Lead internal data and tooling projects, such as bringing CRM and deals data into our admin tools
- Partner with AMs and CSMs on account priorities and upsell opportunities
- Identify recurring client requests and feed them into the product roadmap
- Build repeatable processes for scoping, pricing and delivery
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
- Combined experience of software engineer and client-facing technical project management
- Hands-on understanding of APIs, data models, exports, 3rd party integration
- Strong client presence: credible with engineers and at ease with senior executives
- Proven ability to manage expectations, negotiate scope and communicate proactively
- Track record delivering complex projects for enterprise clients in B2B SaaS
- Fluent in English and French
Bonus:
- Experience with BI, data and social listening tools (Looker, Power BI, BigQuery, SQL, Radarly, Talkwalker)
- Experience with luxury, beauty or retail clients
- Exposure to enterprise security requirements (SSO, security reviews)
- Interest in influencer marketing and social media ecosystems
- Appetite for AI and workflow automation tools
