IT Project Manager with French Language

Who We Are At Innovatrics, we build biometric technologies for elections, border control, digital ID, and secure onboarding in 80+ countries. Our algorithms have reached over a billion people. We delivered the full end-to-end biometric solution for Guinea's national elections, covering 3,000 enrollment stations and an ABIS system serving millions of citizens.

Why This Job Is Exciting As a Technical Project Manager, you will lead complex biometric solution deliveries with a primary focus on Francophone markets (e.g., Guinea, Madagascar, West/Central Africa). You will serve as the lead delivery interface for French-speaking clients, managing nationally critical projects like digital identity and border control where language, culture, and context are paramount.

Beyond these markets, you’ll tackle global projects with high ownership and ambiguity. This isn't a "textbook" PM role; you must navigate evolving requirements and unpredictable decision-making by being pragmatic and adaptable. On-site presence is essential—you will travel during critical phases like solution design and acceptance testing to drive delivery and manage client relationships where they matter most.

Within one month, you will… • Build a full delivery map of our solutions, lifecycle, governance, and escalation paths • Join ceremonies as primary delivery owner on at least one active Francophone project • Identify top delivery risks and propose mitigation plans • Align delivery rhythm with Professional Services • Build relationships with French-speaking client counterparts

Within three months, you will… • Lead at least one complex delivery end-to-end • Run governance (steering, risk reviews, change control) in French • Drive cross-team alignment and unblock critical issues • Improve delivery playbooks and tooling • Act as communication bridge between Francophone clients and internal teams

Within six months, you will… • Lead multiple concurrent projects or a larger program across Francophone markets • Handle escalations and course-correct delivery • Bridge technical and non-technical audiences in French and English • Mentor within Professional Services • Support bids for new Francophone opportunities

Within one year, you will… • Be a trusted delivery partner for key Francophone clients • Deliver measurable value balancing scope, time, cost, and quality • Influence product evolution through delivery insights • Raise delivery standards across the team • Become the go-to PM for Francophone markets
