In the processes we automate, customers achieve productivity improvements of 5 to 10 times.\nTo date, BLP remains majority employee-owned, with Goldman Sachs holding a minority stake as a growth investor. Our success is driven by deep expertise in technology and business processes, a superior product with strong product-market fit, reflected in an expanding customer base that includes Fortune 500 companies.\nBLP is one of Switzerland's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups; we are now entering our next phase of growth. From our headquarters on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, we're expanding globally, with a growing presence across Europe and North America.\nJoin us and help make autonomous operations the new standard. \nLocation\nThis is a full-time position based in Munich or Cologne. Following a comprehensive onboarding period at our HQ in central Zurich (minimum one month), you will work from your home location, with regular visits to customers across the DACH region.\nTeam collaboration matters a lot to us. You will regularly spend time with the team in person, in Zurich and at our hubs, for team days, all-hands and offsites. These visits are financially supported by blp.\nYour Mission\nYou get customers live. Hands on, end to end, and fast.\nAs a Senior Project Manager, you make large, global blp transformations happen. These programs touch finance, procurement and supply chain at once, run across multiple ERP systems and legal entities, and roll out country by country. Your job is to orchestrate all of it and get the customer live: the first go-live above all, because that is where credibility is won or lost, and then wave after wave with the same discipline. You run the steering committee, you lead a blp team on each engagement, and you do that across several engagements at once.\nAt both levels, scope is the single biggest lever on whether a project goes live on time. Protecting it is a daily job, not a contract clause. You escalate early and precisely rather than absorbing problems until they become critical.\nYou will not be alone with the technical side. Integrations Engineers handle the connection into the ERP, Technical Project Managers handle the harder solution design, and our Consultants take over the automation work after go-live. On our largest strategic accounts a Client Partner carries the relationship and the commercial number, so your attention goes to delivery quality.\nWe have done this many times, so you are not inventing the approach each time. A proven onboarding method and a strong toolkit are what let you carry your own customers from early on.\nYour Career Path in Project Management\nThis is the path most of our delivery leadership came through, and we hire at every step of it. We place you according to your experience and the size of the programs you have delivered, and we are explicit about what the next step requires.\nProject Manager: You get customers live end to end, several in parallel: guided onboarding for commercial customers, leading enterprise projects yourself, or a workstream on our largest programs. Typically you bring 2+ years in consulting, implementation or project management.\n\nSenior Project Manager: You make large, global transformations happen: multiple ERPs, entities and countries, the steering committee, and a blp team on each engagement. Typically you bring 5+ years delivering complex, multi-country programs.\n\nNext steps: Lead a delivery team, or move into Consulting and from there towards our Client Partner role on strategic accounts.\n\nMoves into Consulting or Customer Success Engineering are open at every level, and many of our people make them.\nKey Responsibilities\nRun implementations end to end: kick-off, scope, planning, configuration, testing and go-live.\n\nManage several customers in parallel at different stages, and keep every one of them on date.\n\nWork with customers on their processes, and flag early where a process assumption will not hold.\n\nCoordinate the specialists on your projects: Integrations Engineers, Technical Project Managers and AI Automation Specialists.\n\nOwn scope actively. Recognize a change request for what it is and handle it deliberately.\n\nKeep the project inside its budget, and raise it early when the effort is drifting.\n\nHand over cleanly at go-live to our Consultants and support organization.\n\nIn addition, as a Senior Project Manager\nOwn the delivery outcome of global programs from kick-off to the last go-live: plan, scope, dependencies and date.\n\nDrive the first go-live relentlessly, then run wave planning across ERPs, entities and countries.\n\nRun the steering committee and own the decisions that come out of it.\n\nWrite and execute the recovery plan when a program is off track.\n\nLead the blp team on each engagement and coach the Project Managers working on your programs.\n\nWhat We're Really Looking For\nThe following key attributes ensure success in this role:\nScope Discipline - You notice when a project is quietly growing, and you raise it rather than absorbing it.\n\nOwnership & Autonomy - You take initiative, move things forward, and deliver end to end without being chased.\n\nEscalation Judgment - You escalate early, to the right person, with a proposal rather than a problem.\n\nClient Confidence - You are comfortable running a meeting with a customer's finance or IT lead in it.\n\nFour-Language Fluency - Technology, process, data and people. You speak each well enough to spot where a roadblock really sits.\n\nStructured Under Pressure - When a project goes sideways you get sharper and more organized, not louder.\n\nWhat You Bring\n5+ years of experience delivering complex projects: management consulting, enterprise software implementation, or large-scale transformation delivery.\n\nProven track record running multi-country or multi-entity programs with senior client stakeholders, and steering a committee that includes client executives.\n\nExperience leading a delivery team rather than only a plan.\n\nStrong analytical and communication skills. You can translate a business need into something a technical team can act on.\n\nFluent in German and English, spoken and written.\n\nBonus points for ERP implementation experience, finance or supply chain processes, or AI-driven SaaS.\n\nBenefits\nHigh ownership environment - you shape your projects, outcomes, and career path.\n\nImpact at scale - your work powers automation across global enterprises.\n\nCross-functional exposure - work with engineers, data scientists, and business leaders daily.\n\nReal growth - fast-paced environment, steep learning curve, and structured career progression.\n\nEmployee ownership - be part of a majority employee-owned company with a best-in-class stock option program.\n\nAmazing team - become part of a driven and collaborative group of innovators.\n\nTechnology exposure - be at the forefront of AI and enjoy continuous learning opportunities.\n\nVisits & offsites - paid visits and stays at our HQ in Zurich, including collaborative team offsites.\n\nReady to build the future of ERP automation?
