- Take over stakeholder and communications management vis-à-vis clients, project managers, and other participants.
- Support change and optimisation initiatives in stable and dynamic organisational structures.
Required Skills
- Completed degree with a technical, business, or comparable focus.
- At least three years of experience as a project manager, ideally in larger projects with a technical development component.
- Excellent knowledge of proven project management methods and experience building and operating PMO structures.
