Описание вакансии

About Parloa

Parloa’s mission is to make every customer conversation feel effortless for both customers and the companies serving them. As agentic AI accelerates, Parloans are shaping the foundation of a new era in customer experience — one where customer support is no longer transactions, but meaningful exchanges. It is not just a vision; Parloa has powered over ONE BILLION interactions between global enterprise brands and their customers, with companies like IKEA and Booking.com already deploying Parloa at scale.

About the role:

We are looking for a Technical Project Manager (TPM) to lead medium to high complexity deployments of our Agentic AI / conversational AI platform for enterprise customers. In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end delivery lifecycle—from scoping and planning through go-live and hypercare—working in a pod model alongside a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) and an Agent Architect (AA). You will be the primary owner of timeline, scope, risk, governance, and stakeholder communication, ensuring that customers successfully transition to an Agentic OS layer for their enterprise communications.

Areas of ownership:

Project Ownership & Delivery

• Own end-to-end delivery for assigned Agentic AI customer projects (scope, schedule, budget, risk, quality).
• Run the pod (TPM + FDE + Agent Architect) as a single accountable delivery unit.
• Select and apply appropriate delivery methodology (Waterfall, Agile, or Hybrid) based on customer context and risk profile.
• Drive project planning: work breakdown, dependencies, critical path, and resource allocations across internal and partner teams.
• Maintain up-to-date project plan, RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) and change log.

Customer & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as primary delivery contact for customer project sponsors, IT, and business stakeholders.
• Facilitate recurring governance: status calls, steering committees, UAT readouts, and go-live reviews.
• Translate technical complexity into clear business impacts for executive stakeholders.
• Manage scope and change requests, ensuring commercial and delivery impacts are understood and agreed.

Cross-Functional & Pod Coordination

• Coordinate with Forward Deployed Engineers on integration readiness, environment setup, performance, and production stability.
• Coordinate with Agent Architects on discovery, agent design, prompt/context strategy, and conversational tuning.
• Collaborate with Sales, Solution Engineering, Product, and Support to ensure a seamless customer journey from sales handoff through BAU operations.
• Where partners are involved (SI/GSI/BPO), manage co-delivery responsibilities, expectations, and escalation paths.

Methodology & Process Discipline

• Plan and facilitate sprints, retros, and sprint reviews for Agile/hybrid projects; lead stage-gate reviews for Waterfall projects.
• Enforce documentation standards (Charter, Design Docs, Runbooks, Handover Docs).
• Ensure risk and compliance requirements (security reviews, data governance, regulatory constraints) are captured and incorporated into the plan.

Metrics & Reporting

• Define and track deployment KPIs, such as:

+ Time to Blueprint, Time to First Agent in UAT, Time to Go-Live

+ Milestone On-Time Rate

+ Defect and incident trends during QA/UAT and Hypercare

• Report delivery status, risk posture, and mitigation plans to internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute data to capacity and utilization models to inform planning and staffing.

Who you are:

• 5–8+ years of experience in technical project management, program management, or delivery management for SaaS or enterprise software.
• Hands-on experience delivering solutions involving at least one of:

+ Contact Center / CCaaS, UCaaS, conversational AI, IVA/IVR, or related CX platforms.

• Demonstrated ability to work across technical and business stakeholders (IT, Security, Operations, Business Owners).
• Solid understanding of software delivery methodologies (Agile/Scrum, Hybrid, and Waterfall) and when to apply each.
• Strong skills in project planning tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Monday, MS Project, Smartsheet) and collaboration tools (e.g., Confluence, Notion, Miro).
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and conflict resolution skills.
• Proven track record managing multiple concurrent projects with global, distributed teams.

Nice to have:

• Experience delivering AI/ML, NLP, LLM-based, or Agentic AI solutions.
• Background in professional services or consulting working with enterprise clients.
• Familiarity with APIs, webhooks, event-driven architectures, cloud infra (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Certifications: PMP, PRINCE2, CSM/CSPO, SAFe, or equivalent.
• Experience with partner co-delivery (SI, GSI, BPO, or ISV ecosystems).

Why Parloa?

We’re at the beginning of a new era in customer experience, one where AI doesn’t just respond, but understands, reasons, and takes action. We’re building agentic AI that enterprises trust with their most important customer moments: complex questions, high volumes, real stakes. When millions of people reach out to a brand, those interactions aren’t just support tickets; they’re defining experiences. We’re here to raise the standard: making every conversation seamless, intelligent, and genuinely helpful. If you care about shaping how businesses and customers connect at scale—and want your work to matter in real, everyday moments—this is where you do it.

At Parloa, ownership isn’t a buzzword; it means being accountable for outcomes, not just tasks. We operate in a category that’s evolving fast, where the bar is high, and the problems are complex. We hire people who think in solutions, communicate with clarity, and follow through. People who are comfortable making decisions, taking responsibility, and raising the standard for themselves and those around them.

We’ve grown beyond the earliest startup phase, but we’ve kept the intensity: fast execution, direct feedback, and a strong expectation to contribute meaningfully from day one.

Backed by leading global investors like General Catalyst, EQT Ventures, and Altimeter Capital, we’re scaling with a clear ambition: to become the global category leader in enterprise-grade conversational AI.
