Agreed. Understandable but not natural as they are, imho. Some more alternatives below. I have a slight preference for a somewhat option "that" to be included.

OR:
This is the first time that I've managed a company.
OR (for some of them, if they are happening now):
This is the first time that I am managing a company.
OR:
This is the first time that I am managing a company.
OR even, if it's about to start:
This is the first time that I will manage a company.

I like wwwkudu's pattern:

"This is the first time that I am managing a company."

This is the closest in meaning to the Amazigh (Berber) sentence.

I'll try to modify all the other sentences according to this pattern.

CK: Please confirm.
