As part of the Commercial Transformation team, you will play an active role in developing and supporting commercial products that enhance the maritime transport solutions we offer our customers. The scope of the role encompasses the CMA CGM+ range, commercial products, commercial partnerships, and/or any initiative aimed at expanding the catalog of commercial services offered to our customers. 

RESPONSIBILITIES  

Within the Commercial Transformation team, you will join the Product Lab, a team dedicated to designing and launching new commercial products, as well as developing new, more targeted, data-driven, and effective ways to sell them. You will be involved in projects from the very beginning—from identifying opportunities through to market launch—with a clear objective: to maximize the business impact of the initiatives developed (adoption, revenue, commercial performance). 

You’ll work in a demanding environment, closely collaborating with diverse international teams (Business, Legal, Marketing, IT, Sales, etc.), and actively contribute to transforming how our products are designed and marketed. 

As a Project Manager within the Product Lab, you act as a true orchestrator and manage projects end-to-end, from initial qualification through to hypercare, and are responsible for: 

Qualifying and scoping opportunities 

Opportunity Qualification and Scoping 

Identify and qualify new opportunities aligned with business objectives and customer needs  

Lead the discovery phases: analyze customer and business requirements, understand the market, and benchmark existing solutions 

Structure and scope initiatives: define use cases, and formalize customer and internal journeys 

End-to-End Management 

Lead product design by coordinating all stakeholders (Business, IT, Sales, partners)  

Facilitate business workshops and challenge requirements to ensure relevant and pragmatic solutions  

Continuously arbitrate and prioritize to maximize project impact within a constrained environment (time, resources)  

Ensure proactive, predictable project management: systematically anticipate risks, implement contingency plans in case of deviations, and prepare in advance for each milestone and progress review  

Execution, deployment, and support 

Provide clear, continuous visibility into project progress, particularly for management and key stakeholders  

Establish monitoring metrics (adoption, revenue, sales performance) and track results over time 

Prepare and structure all project processes (committees, weekly updates, materials), ensuring their effectiveness and decision-oriented focus 

Prepare and lead go-to-market initiatives (go-to-market strategy, marketing materials, support for sales teams)  

Risk Management and Hypercare 

Organize the hypercare phase: close post-launch monitoring, resolution of issues, collection of field feedback, and rapid adjustments as needed 

Document key learnings (feedback, best practices) and share them with the relevant teams  

Actively contribute to the continuous improvement of Product Lab methods and processes  

PROFILE AND SKILLS  

We are looking for a candidate capable of working with a high degree of autonomy in a demanding and constantly evolving environment. 

At least 3 years of experience in project management, ideally in product, innovation, or transformation environments  

Strong analytical, synthesis, and organizational skills, with the ability to quickly grasp complex issues  

Ability to challenge stated requirements, distinguish between “nice-to-haves” and essentials, and propose more impactful alternatives 

Business-oriented: ability to prioritize based on impact rather than solely on stated needs  

Excellent communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with both technical teams and business stakeholders  

Ability to make judgments and decisions in unstructured environments  

Preference for dynamic environments with multiple concurrent projects  

Experience in transportation, logistics, or an international setting is a plus  

Fluency in spoken and written English is essential.  

You are comfortable working in a team in a multicultural environment.
