You will liaison in the core interface, having our Portfolio strategic vision aligned with business’ and IT’s strategies. You will secure that our most important initiatives are driven with right priorities and deliver business value in an anchored and measurable way.
What's Your Role?

Your skills
You have a Master of Science (or an equivalent background through education/experience). We hope you’ve been working for some years as Project or Program Manager within IT, business development or Systems development, or maybe as an IT/Service Portfolio Manager in an agile fashion.
In your career you have gained a deep understanding of Product Lifecycle Management and Product Development in a global context. Another valuable characteristic is if you are seasoned working between business and IT and you have previously successfully managed to facilitate or even catalyst the alignment between multiple equal stakeholders’ needs into prioritized roadmaps.
Who are you?
In this role, your personal attributes aren't just appreciated, they're essential.
We think that you are that ‘natural leader’ type of person. You might have been an informal leader within your team, or a Scrum Master, team lead or simply already had some line management experience where the team members were the experts. Anyways, having passion for people, to care, boldly lead both virtual and more local teams is in your nature. You can easily find the right way and decisions on your own and at the same time engage people, take responsibility for the development of your virtual team but also direct reports. Here, you will be at the frontline, driving change – and therefore, you also need to be able to stand up for your ideas and opinions (of course, with full support from the team).
As a person, you are driven, self-going, structured and able to readily understand relevant areas of the business. Since you will facilitate forums and run decision meetings, both presentation and listening skills will help you long way, may it be with engineers or senior management.
If you recognize yourself in the application, or think you see something between the lines you want to validate, or simply want to work with us, don’t hesitate, take lead. We value your personal passion high as in our team the climate is open and honest.
