Chef de projet Agile - FR / ALL

Sword Services is assisting a Geneva-based client in finding an Agile Project Manager who is fluent in French and German. The role is onsite in Geneva and sits within a strategic public-sector delivery initiative, where you’ll coordinate, pilot and track delivery activities in an Agile setting. This opportunity will suit someone who enjoys bringing cross-functional teams together, safeguarding quality, and helping the organization reach its operational goals.

If you thrive in a regulated environment, excel at aligning stakeholders, and want to steer meaningful public service outcomes, this could be a strong fit for you.

On behalf of a Geneva-based client, Sword Services is seeking an experienced agile leader to take charge of a key delivery program. The position requires hands-on coordination of delivery activities, governance, and quality assurance in an environment that values collaboration and clear results.

Day-to-day rhythm you’d own in Geneva

You will steer the project end-to-end, ensuring that objectives, timelines, budgets and quality targets are met while keeping regulatory and organizational constraints in view. You’ll also analyse the surrounding environment to confirm that the delivered solutions stay compliant and fit for purpose, and you’ll provide clear progress updates to management and governance bodies.

Planning is ongoing and collaborative: you’ll shape activities and coordinate resources across iterations and Program Increments, supporting Agile teams to honour sprint commitments and track performance indicators. You’ll establish and manage risk, quality assurance, and continuous improvement processes, and you’ll maintain open, productive communication with internal and external stakeholders while preparing decision-ready materials for steering committees and other governance forums.

Must-have and nice-to-haves for this role

What the client expects from you to move forward includes:

• A proven track record guiding complex projects in an Agile setting.

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams and drive delivery.

• Strong command of Agile practices and large-scale planning methods, including PI Planning, sprint management and roadmapping.

• Capacity to juggle quality, risk, budget and governance considerations at once.

• Outstanding communication, workshop facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.

• A solid grasp of control, compliance and quality assurance processes.

• Sharp analytical thinking, ability to synthesize information, and solid decision-making in complex contexts.

• Autonomy, organisational discipline and a results-oriented mindset.

• Excellent fluency in French and German, both written and spoken.

Nice-to-have capabilities include experience in public-sector or regulated environments, familiarity with governance interactions and reporting to steering bodies, and a track record applying risk management and QA practices within large programmes.

Advice for applicants

Lead your resume with evidence of managing complex Agile delivery, especially in bilingual settings that involve FR and German language skills.

When you describe your experience, frame it around PI Planning, iterations, and roadmaps, and quantify how you kept costs in check, risks under control, and quality high across governance layers.

During interviews, be ready to walk through concrete examples of aligning diverse stakeholders, balancing competing priorities, and implementing QA and compliance controls within regulated delivery cycles.

Ask a thoughtful question about how the client integrates regulatory requirements into day-to-day Agile delivery, and which governance bodies you would interact with regularly to drive decisions.
