Overview

Introduction: Are you driven by seeing your ideas become reality? Welcome to our exciting and technology-intensive world. Responsibilities: Do you want to lead technical projects shaping tomorrow's solutions? We are now seeking a project manager for our Advanced Development team, focusing on applied research and pre-development projects that mature and secure technology for future product generations and customer deliveries. As a technical project manager, you lead projects from idea to validated concept at the forefront of technology and are responsible for structuring and following up on goals, timelines, and deliveries in a cross-functional environment. You lead specialists in early phases where requirements and solutions are not fully defined, requiring active risk and uncertainty management in early product development. The work demands a structured execution combined with creative problem solving to identify new technical pathways forward. You act as a central link in communication with stakeholders at various levels, clarifying technical progress and ensuring that project goals are anchored in the organization. Qualifications: To succeed in this role, you are a structured and result-oriented leader who is curious and comfortable working in environments where not everything is defined from the start. You have an open and unpretentious approach to collaboration and possess a genuine technical interest allowing you to communicate effortlessly with various technical disciplines. We appreciate that you lead with natural enthusiasm and have the ability to make your results comprehensible and clear to others. We believe you have the following qualifications: - Experience in technical project management, preferably within product or technology development. - An engineering degree or equivalent relevant work experience. - Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written. It is advantageous if you have experience with complex technical systems, agile project management methods, or work in early development phases such as pre-development.
