You may have started your career in software engineering, data, systems or another technical role before moving into project management. Experience in the manufacturing domain would be particularly valuable.

You will be responsible for delivering the agreed scope, timeline, budget, quality and margin. The typical setup includes two to three teams of approximately 15-20 people in total and an annual budget of EUR 1-3 million.

• Experience contributing to bids and proposals, including effort estimates, delivery approaches and staffing plans
• Excellent English skills at C1 level
• Confidence in using AI tools to support day-to-day project management and delivery activities
• Flexibility to occasionally overlap with US working hours

Nice to have

• Manufacturing background: MES, SCADA, Historian, LIMS, ERP
• Exposure to AI/ML delivery (predictive maintenance, computer vision, GenAI/RAG) as PM or PO
• Data/analytics projects
• Hands-on engineering background

Main responsibilities

• Deliver projects in line with the agreed scope, budget, quality standards and target margin
• Lead project planning and proactively manage risks, issues and dependencies
• Own day-to-day communication with the client’s delivery stakeholders, escalating commercial matters to the Program Manager when needed
• Provide regular updates on delivery progress, budget utilisation and financial forecasts
• Support offer preparation by contributing project estimates, delivery models and key risk assumptions
