Job description

Would you like to become part of a dedicated team where you will help drive cross-functional collaboration, strengthen governance, and contribute to the successful delivery of strategic initiatives across Terma?

We are facing an exciting future with considerable growth and demanding changes, as we deliver advanced technologies and mission critical solutions for the defense and aerospace industry. Our systems provide security for people on land, at sea and in the air. Therefore, we are looking for a Associate Project Manager to become part of this journey and contribute to our overall purpose – securing people through advanced technology.

Your role in our team

As our new Associate Project Manager, you will take ownership of work packages and subprojects that sit at the intersection of multiple functions. You will coordinate with stakeholders across teams and departments, align priorities, and drive progress with increasing autonomy and accountability. In this role, you will bring together colleagues with diverse skills and backgrounds around shared objectives while maintaining a genuine curiosity about how different parts of the organization work together. In addition to this, you will work closely with the Program Excellence Leadership Team and support the VP in coordinating and organizing activities across the broader organization. This will provide unique exposure to strategic decision‑making, leadership priorities, and organizational development while offering valuable insights into how a growing international business operates at both operational and leadership levels.

A significant part of your work will focus on building capabilities, strengthening governance, and enabling collaboration across departments by connecting people and processes that do not naturally sit within a single function. Terma is operating in a rapid growth environment, meaning that what you see today may be different tomorrow. We move fast while continuing to care for each other, our customers, and the societies we serve.

You will become part of a dedicated team in Program Excellence (PrX), where delivery ambition and people development go hand in hand. We are a growing team supporting the continued growth of the business, and you will have the opportunity to build the experience and accountability that form the foundation for future Project Manager responsibility.

• Promoting consistent adherence to project standards, governance practices, and execution frameworks across the organization
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of project execution methods, processes, and cross‑functional ways of working within PrX.

• You hold a degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or a similar relevant discipline
• You have 2-5 years of experience in project coordination, project management, or a related delivery‑focused role, ideally involving cross‑functional or cross‑departmental work
• Solid understanding of project execution principles, work package management, and progress reporting
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across teams, functions, and departments and engage stakeholders at different levels
• A genuine interest in how different disciplines and skillsets fit together, combined with a collaborative mindset that values every colleague's contribution
• Experience with project management tools and methodologies is an advantage

As a person, you are collaborative, curious, and proactive. You thrive when working across organizational boundaries and enjoy bringing people together around a common objective. You have strong communication skills, are comfortable engaging with a broad range of stakeholders, and can maintain structure, transparency, and momentum in a dynamic environment. Additionally, you handle sensitive information with professionalism and discretion.

We are an international company representing world‑class expertise, delivering complex and high‑tech products. We value our colleagues and our meaningful contributions to securing people through advanced technology. You will also experience that we have a strong focus on your development, teaching you useful new competences and further strengthening current ones, both professionally and personally.
