Project Manager Software Development

At Axis our employees are innovative, dedicated and energetic and that's just the beginning. Our employees are the driving force of the company and always strive to keep Axis the number one player in our industry. As the global market leader in network video, Axis is driving the industry by continually launching innovative network products based on an open platform - delivering high value to its customers.

We are looking for a Project Manager to support our increasing numbers of software projects and production test platform.

Who is your future team?
We are a team who serves the whole Axis product portfolio with production test software and that also have a vision to improve the cooperation within Axis development teams and the software platform. In addition, you will be given the opportunity to manage other software development project with cross functional teams all over Axis. The work is done in agile teams with highly motivated members, who just need gentle guidance to move forward and be at their the best. Your team members, with a typical profile of having a master's degree in engineering, will mostly be placed in Lund.

What you'll do here as Project Manager?
As a Project Manager in this role, you will lead software development projects ranging all the way from idea, to execution and deployment. There will be two main areas:

* Managing the release program, that is, planning the releases of our production firmware in sync with the main software platform of Axis
* Developing pure software features that can be deployed in many different Axis products.

You will belong to the pan- tilt- zoom camera team but you will have a wide network of stakeholders all over the organization. These types of projects will require a big portion of setting up the requirements together with the orderer and finetune them as the project goes along. You will plan the project together with your project team and manage demos and steering group meetings at regular intervals. The release program, on the other hand, will be more of a repetitive work where you will sync different teams' deliveries to a certain release.

The role entails a great responsibility where you as Project Manager are responsible for the entire project, with support from steering group. At the same time, you need to engage and interact with all project members in order to understand their challenges and part of your project.

Your main tasks and responsibilities will be to:

* Handle day-to-day project management activities like planning, risk mitigation, and follow up of project progress
* Synchronize deliveries to the test platform and drive long term improvement within this area
* Build a wide network in order to be in sync with and drive improvements of production test
* Lead and motivate the project team towards successful goal completion
* Actively look for solutions and drive decision making
* Work with the product owner to refine product ideas and requirements
* Understand the needs of internal and external customers
* Communicate in a timely and professional way with stakeholders

You will report to the Director for PTZ Cameras and be part of an extended management group for this product area.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for you, that combine interest in people and project management with interest in improving and developing software. You are a person that give energy to your colleagues and make sure that your team performs and succeeds! You are honest, open minded, likes to interact with other stakeholders, learning and sharing, and are ready to take full responsibility for your assignments.

The right candidate has experience from managing software projects. It is considered an extra plus if you have a background within software development.

To be successful we believe you have an educational background in engineering, preferably with a master's degree in relevant subjects.

You communicate easily in both Swedish and English, verbally and written.
