Stakeholder Management: Interface with R&D, Finance, Sales, and Industrial teams to align project progress with broader organizational goals.
Schedule Integrity: Maintain and audit project timelines across the portfolio. Ensure milestones are met and proactively flag risks to the schedule.
Change Management: Own the Change Register. Drive discussions across the PM team to ensure all Change Request (CR) details are documented, analyzed for impact, and tracked to completion.
Process Compliance: Support and manage workflows involving V-Model, ASPICE, Functional Safety (ISO 26262), and Cyber Security requirements.
Operational Excellence: Methodology Implementation - Apply Agile, Scrum, or Waterfall frameworks (as appropriate) for resource allocation and task scheduling.
Audit & Quality: Conduct internal audits on project documentation to ensure compliance with industry standards.

Influential Leadership: The ability to drive consensus and move teams forward without having direct hierarchical authority.
Problem Solving: A diagnostic mindset capable of resolving both technical hurdles and operational inefficiencies.
What We Offer
High-Level Visibility: You will contribute to project reviews that reach executive-level stakeholders.
