Senior Project Manager

We're looking for an Senior Project Manager who owns the client relationship and keeps engagements moving: the single point of contact who handles escalations, drives approvals, and makes sure every deliverable lands.

At LAKEORA, this role sits at the center of the engagement. You'll be the bridge between client stakeholders and our technical team and leadership, turning delivery into something clients trust and want to expand. Lean team, high visibility, real impact.

4+ years in project management, delivery management, or technical project management, ideally in data, cloud, or consulting

Proven track record managing client-facing technical delivery from scope through acceptance

Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to handle escalations and hard conversations calmly

Solid understanding of data platform projects and modern data and cloud concepts (you don't need to code, but you need to speak the language)

Experience managing scope, budget, timelines, and risk across concurrent engagements

Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level reporting and disciplined documentation

Comfortable in a lean, high-ownership team where you wear multiple hats

Fluent English; Arabic strongly valued for KSA client engagements

Experience delivering Databricks, data platform, or analytics and AI projects

Familiarity with the Databricks ecosystem (Lakehouse, Unity Catalog, delivery on cloud hyperscalers)

Consulting background at a data and AI advisory or systems integrator

PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile/Scrum certification preferred

Sector exposure in Industrial (Manufacturing & Oil and Gas), Logistics & Transportation, or Insurance

Presales or account growth experience

If this sounds like the kind of work you want to do, we would like to hear from you. LAKEORA is an equal opportunity employer and assesses every application on merit.
