Who you are
- 3+ years of experience managing complex customer-facing technology, SaaS or implementation projects from requirements through go-live
- Strong project-management fundamentals across planning, scope, dependencies, risks, decisions and stakeholder alignment
- Excellent discovery and communication skills: you can turn ambiguous customer conversations into clear requirements and actions
- Enough technical fluency to work comfortably with engineers and discuss APIs, integrations, data flows and enterprise systems without needing to be the person implementing them
- Comfortable managing multiple internal and external stakeholders and taking ownership when a project starts moving away from plan
- Curious, pragmatic and hands-on, including using AI tools to make yourself and the wider team more effective
- Experience in Professional Services, implementation consulting, enterprise onboarding or customer delivery
- Experience with airlines, travel technology or another integration-heavy industry
- Experience with payment systems, reservation systems, data platforms or other business-critical integrations
- Experience coordinating projects involving third-party vendors and legacy enterprise systems
- Experience with international customers and distributed teams
- Formal project-management training or certifications such as PMP, PRINCE2 or Agile methodologies
What the job involves
- You will be accountable for taking a customer from contract signature to a successful production launch
- Build and maintain a realistic implementation plan
- Coordinate Caravelo teams, customer teams and third-party vendors around the same milestones
- Manage dependencies, decisions, risks and changes throughout the project
- Keep the customer informed about progress and make deviations visible early
- Drive testing, launch readiness and production stabilisation
- Your role is not simply to report whether a project is on track. It is to create the conditions that keep it on track
- Understand the customer and shape the solution
- No two airline implementations are exactly the same
- You will lead the discovery process from a business and delivery perspective: understanding how the customer operates,
what they want to achieve and how those requirements map to Caravelo's capabilities
- Translate customer needs into clear requirements and implementation decisions
- Articulate what the Caravelo platform can already do
- Guide customers toward proven approaches based on previous implementations
- Identify where configuration is enough and where an integration, extension or additional development may be needed
- Keep the agreed solution, scope and important decisions clearly documented
- As your experience grows, you will become a subject-matter expert in parts of the airline technology landscape, such as payments, reservation systems or other critical integrations
- Keep complexity under control
- Enterprise implementations rarely fail because nobody created a project plan
- They become difficult when requirements appear late, dependencies are unclear, decisions remain unresolved or different teams believe different things are in scope
- A major part of your job is preventing that
- You will continuously ask: What are we missing? What could delay us? Who owns this? When do we need the answer?
- You should be comfortable challenging both Caravelo teams and the customer when something threatens the implementation
- Stay involved beyond launch
- A go-live is an important milestone, but it is not the end of the customer relationship
- You will remain involved in regular customer conversations and lead smaller, clearly scoped projects as their implementation evolves
- Launching a promotional campaign with temporary pricing changes
- Migrating an existing subscriber base to a new price
- Introducing a new payment provider
- Connecting a new data layer
- Coordinating an integration migration
- Investigating and resolving a recurring customer issue
- We treat these in the same way as larger implementations: a clear objective, owner, scope,
start date and end date
- Use AI to remove unnecessary friction
- We actively use AI tools across Caravelo, including in Professional Services
- For a Project Manager, that might mean using AI to:
- Turn workshops and conversations into structured requirements
- Analyse project information and dependencies
- Draft documentation and customer communications
- Explore an unfamiliar API or system
- Investigate a problem before involving an engineer
- Modify a small configuration or frontend element, or write a simple script for a one-off migration or operational task
- You are not expected to become a software engineer
- But we do value people who are curious enough to solve small problems themselves rather than creating unnecessary hand-offs
- Technical changes are always reviewed appropriately by our engineering team
