Digital Marketing Project Manager

Company Description

We Elevate. Digitally.

SQLI is a European player and market leader in customer experience and digital transformation, helping major international brands create value through technology and digital innovation. From strategy to the effective implementation of technological solutions, we design and build robust, high-performance architectures and engaging digital experiences, combining advanced technologies, proven methodologies, and deep expertise.

To strengthen our teams (2,200 employees across 12 countries), we are looking for driven talent who share our values: Creativity, Engagement, and a Future-minded approach.

At SQLI Amsterdam, we bring together Experience Strategy, Digital Marketing & Performance, and Experience Design to deliver real impact. That only works when delivery is sharp. 

Together with ambitious brands, we work across strategy, experience design, digital marketing, and ecommerce to shape platforms and experiences that truly matter.

We are looking for a Senior Digital Project Manager who combines strategic thinking, strong client leadership, and operational excellence.

Someone who can lead complex digital trajectories from discovery to delivery, bring clarity to complexity, and confidently challenge ideas and stakeholders.

This is not a traditional project management role.
We are looking for someone who thinks alongside clients and teams to turn ambition into impact.

This position is only open to candidates who will be employed directly by us. We are not working with contractors or agencies for this role.
