Location: At one of our Innovation Centers in Austria, Linz / Finland, Porvoo / Sweden, Stenungsund or also in Belgium, Beringen.

Hours: Full-Time

Type of Contract: Permanent

Make Innovation Real!

At Borealis, we are committed to create value for our customers by offering innovative sustainability solutions. More than 500 R&D talents in our three European Innovation Centers are working together to make those innovations real. This commitment is also reflected in our consistent recognition by the European Patent Index as one of the leading innovators in Austria.

In short: Innovation is at the heart of everything we do.

We are now looking for you to lead our R&D talents in various Innovation Projects in the Polyolefin, Hydrocarbons or Catalyst areas, as well as in the strategically important field of Circular Economy.

You will:

• Define the project scope and objectives together with the project owner and support to prepare a business case
• Be responsible for delivering the project scope within time and budget
• Plan and track the project within constraints such as time, cost and quality standards
• Manage risks and actively follow-up in projects, including implementation of mitigation actions
• Collaborate with various stakeholders within Borealis as well as external partners including facilitation of team and stakeholder meetings
• Work directly with the team members, motivate them, give them feedback, direction, vision, and make sure that the project is staffed and skilled appropriately
• Understand needs and types of agreements/contracts with external partners and setup and negotiate if needed

We are looking for a people-oriented individual with technical background in a field related to Borealis' business, such as Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science/Engineering or similar.

You have prior experience as a project manager and already possess a PMI certification – or you are interested in obtaining a PMI certification with our support. However, as a commercial focus is crucial for this role, we are also eager to meet you, if your professional experience stems from a commercial / customer-centric role in Sales, Marketing or Innovation Management.

Your success in this role will largely depend on your ability to handle a variety of topics and to guide and lead people towards a common goal. You are excellent in communication, presentations, have strong interpersonal skills to build relationships, and good facilitation and coaching skills. You will be working in an international and diverse team and environment where good teamwork and cooperation are key factors in your work.

Borealis has competitive compensation and benefits which you can read more about on our Career Page. Your salary package will reflect your profile, experience and the specifics of the country/location you apply for.

Should you join us in one of our Austrian locations and according to Austrian law, we offer compensation based on the collective labor agreement starting at EUR 77.543,90 annual gross salary (based on 38 hrs/week) plus a yearly bonus, and are willing to pay more based on your experience and background.
