Project Manager

Company Name: 20face
Location: Netherland

About 20face:

20Face is a fast-growing ambitious startup company with a diverse team of 14 people. With our extensive research expertise in biometrics and facial recognition, we are bringing glimpse facial recognition technology and our privacy proof biometrics platform to the international market. We are located in Enschede, the Netherlands, and operate from a very inspiring environment at the Gallery (University Twente). Our core technology will be available as both web-based/cloud API and local solutions running on the client’s machines (desktop/embedded platform). In addition to working on the core technology, we also develop innovative custom-built facial recognition software and solutions for applications such as access-control, surveillance, smart-homes and domotica. All of our products and solutions are supported by our privacy proof biometrics platform on which end-users register and control their personal biometric profile and data.

 

Profile:

We are looking for a senior project manager that can successfully manage multiple and simultaneously running projects related to the facial recognition solutions we build for our clients. Our projects run for various times between 2 months and 2 years, so it is important to set priorities and find a right balance between short- and long-term projects. Therefore, we ask for a proactive and enthusiastic personality with excellent time and task management skills. The projects relate to the realization of facial recognition based solutions such as for example entry management. Because of the variety in use-cases and specific contextual conditions, almost all of our projects require customization. That is why we are looking for a flexible project manager that thinks along with the team, partners and clients. Most of our solutions are developed and/or enrolled together with other software development partners so sound and clear communication from the project manager is a must. Besides these solutions themselves, the deployment of the privacy proof biometrics platform as key enabling technology within all of these applications is an integral part of the company’s vision. We feel that the project manager plays an important role in scaling up our business, so we are looking for someone with ambition, a can-do mentality and entrepreneurial spirit.
