As a Project Technical Manager, you will serve as the main point of contact between SESAMm's internal teams and our clients, managing both business-oriented and technical interactions. You will gather client requirements, clarify and structure their needs, and ensure their integration into internal development roadmaps in close collaboration with the Product Owner. Additionally, you will provide first-level technical support, assist clients with API usage, perform basic adjustments on technical resources and execute no-code implementations, including the design and optimization of AI prompts where necessary.

Technical role:

• Provide first-level technical support to clients, addressing basic technical queries independently
• Demonstrate and guide clients on using existing technical resources (APIs, notebooks, documentation)
• Drive and execute no-code implementations to adress specific client needs

Experience

• At least 3-5 years of experience in technical project management, business analysis, client-facing roles, or related fields.

Skills

• Strong ability to manage client relationships, clarify complex needs, and ensure smooth communication.
• Intermediate technical proficiency to support clients on API use and perform basic no-code/low-code technical adjustments.
• A solid understanding of the LLM ecosystem, and familiarity with prompt engineering. Interest in AI tools is also beneficial.
