Axis is a fast growing and innovative IT company with a global footprint. Our success is largely due to our highly skilled staff and our strong culture of daring to succeed and allowing ourselves to constantly break new ground. We allow and promote independent thinking; we seek to act as one, to be always open, and to think big!

Axis is looking for the right person to fill an opening position as a Project Manager at the New Video Product team within our Research & Development (R&D) organization.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
As Project Manager in the New Video Products unit you will be driving projects on the cutting edge of network video technology. You will be responsible for managing new product development projects that includes software, electronics and mechanical development from idea to final product. Your main tasks will be to:

* Work with our Product Management department in order to refine product ideas
* Drive normal project management activities like planning, writing specifications and follow-up
* Actively look for solutions, including technical, and drive decision making
* Look for synergies and dependencies with/on other projects
* Dare to set tough/realistic schedules and inspire the team to succeed with it
* Fight for your project’s success 
* Respect for tollgate deadlines and defined working models

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for a Project Manager with an educational background in engineering, preferably with a master degree in relevant subjects e.g. computer science/mechanical engineer or electrical engineering. The right candidates have an interest in product development and 3-5 years of experience from leading development projects. It is considered an extra plus if previous experiences involve a mix of electronics, software and mechanics. Having an interest for all steps of the product development cycle is also important: from refining ideas into requirements specifications to getting all the details in place for the final product. 

The role as Project Manager is collaborative and requires the ability to interact with many people in and outside the organization. Apart from the above we believe the position requires a creative, driven and goal-oriented individual with social skills enabling a good team spirit and good performance in the projects. Your English is fluent, written and verbal.
