Job description

As part of vector8’s continued expansion in Switzerland, we are hiring for a Senior Project Manager to join our established delivery function in Zurich.

In this role you will lead complex AI projects into production. Working across all phases, from planning to go-live you will serve as the delivery backbone, leveraging your skills and experience to connect strategic priorities, technical feasibility, and execution excellence, providing ownership, structure, and the ability to align business goals with technical realities.

We’re looking for a client-facing professional who can confidently steer engagements - shaping scope, managing change, and turning client needs into practical outcomes. Strong consulting skills, technical understanding, AI fluency, and clear communication are central to the role. A solid foundation of relevant experience is important, but beyond that baseline, we value your skills, adaptability, and mindset more than years in the field. Over the past 2-4 years, you’ve actively developed your knowledge of modern AI - including generative AI, RAG and agents - and understand what it takes to deliver these solutions into production.

  • At least 5 years’ experience leading client-facing, cross-functional, technology-enabled projects, ideally in a consultancy, agency or systems integrator.
  • A proven track record of managing complex client engagements end-to-end, from scoping and planning through implementation and go-live.
  • A strong working knowledge of modern AI, including generative AI, RAG and agents, and an understanding of what it takes to move AI solutions from pilots or prototypes into production. Hands-on coding is not required.
  • A solid grasp of Agile and more traditional project management approaches, with the judgement to apply methods such as Scrum, Kanban, PRINCE2 or PMI standards as appropriate.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both business and technical stakeholders.
  • An excellent team player with a servant leader mindset, who is focused on removing impediments for the team.
  • A good technical understanding of data pipelines, AI models and cloud platforms, with the ability to connect technical considerations to business needs.
  • Familiarity with the Swiss enterprise environment. Experience in banking or insurance is highly desirable; an established network in these sectors is a plus.
  • Willingness to work onsite with clients when needed, primarily at locations within Switzerland.
  • Fluency in German and English; French is an advantage.
  • Lead AI projects end-to-end, from scoping through to go-live.
  • Act as a trusted delivery partner and primary point of contact for stakeholders, aligning expectations, facilitating decisions and shaping roadmaps that connect business priorities with technical realities.
  • Establish delivery plans, governance and controls to manage timelines, budgets and scope.
  • Track project budgets and burn-down, monitor delivery milestones, and provide clear, timely reporting on progress, forecasts, risks and variances.
  • Lead day-to-day execution, resolve blockers and maintain momentum across teams.
  • Raise emerging risks, delivery challenges and misalignment with client stakeholders early and candidly, leading constructive conversations and agreeing on actions before issues escalate.
  • Take a hands-on role in delivery, from defining requirements to advising clients.
  • Partner closely with technology and strategy leads to shape feasible, high-quality solutions.
  • Support pre-sales with delivery approaches, effort estimates and robust project plans.
  • Be a core member of the delivery team, always improving delivery practices and contributing to the development of internal standards.

What you can expect

  • The opportunity to help shape and deliver AI transformation change programmes for leading financial services and insurance organisations - taking promising ideas beyond pilots and into production.
  • Hands-on exposure to modern AI technologies, including GenAI, RAG and agentic solutions, with a focus on solving real business challenges and creating lasting value.
  • The chance to work closely with client stakeholders, AI specialists and business leaders across the delivery journey.
  • A growing Swiss business where you can make a visible contribution, influence how we work and help shape Vector8’s continued growth.
  • A collaborative, lean and entrepreneurial culture that encourages initiative, thoughtful experimentation and knowledge-sharing.
  • Empowering leadership, a supportive and diverse team, and opportunities to keep learning and growing professionally.

Job benefits

  • Compensation & rewards: Competitive salary with a variable performance-based bonus
  • Work environment: Modern office in the heart of Zurich with access to an on-site gym, sports classes (yoga, pilates, spinning) and healthy snacks
  • Flexibility: Hybrid working model - balance remote work with in-office collaboration
  • Learning & growth: Ongoing investment in your professional development, with clear opportunities to take on leadership
  • Parental leave: 16 weeks fully paid maternity leave, with a flexible 50% return-to-work option in the first month (while receiving full salary) and 4 weeks fully paid leave for the second parent
  • Travel & mobility: Paid Halbtax travel card to support sustainable commuting
  • Team & culture: Join a diverse, international team across 5 locations, with regular team events and opportunities for cross-border collaboration
  • Recognition & rewards: Attractive referral bonuses for both candidate and client conversions.
  • Our values: A culture grounded in inclusivity, curiosity, ownership, and collaboration - where your ideas shape the future of AI consulting.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
