ABOUT THE GLOBAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM EXPERIENCE
The Global Internship Program is a proactive initiative that brings together young talent across various functions and global offices of Electrolux.

ABOUT THE ROLE
Electrolux IT is responsible for the IT strategy of the Electrolux Group and how this is implemented throughout an extensive range of solutions, systems and applications that are fundamental for all the Group’s operations around the world. The Project Management Office is part of the IT organization and responsible for managing the scope, schedule and cost of projects for the organization utilizing best practices and established company methodologies.
The role of the PMO is to manage project management lifecycle (initiate, plan, execute, control, close) including detailed planning, resource management, scheduling, budgeting, and quality to ensure the effective delivery of projects to the organization. The PMO will ensure that the IT and business organization is informed on the demand pipeline of incoming projects, available capacity and the health of projects that are underway.
The Junior Project Manager will support Senior Project Managers in the larger projects and independently drive smaller projects (medium level of complexity) and initiatives with a mix of IT and Business project deliverables. The Junior Project Manager will support with project administration, manage workshops, train our colleagues in the project management tool and drive own projects from start to end with support from a more senior colleague.
