Communication & Decision Support

• Translate technical complexity into clear decision material for management, customers and public authorities.
• Keep stakeholders informed and aligned on progress, risks and priorities.

About you

• You are interested in both technology and people, and you are comfortable working at TRL levels ranging from very low to high.
• Experience with technical project management of product development, ideally in a technology-heavy or regulated industry.
• An engineering or equivalent technical background, so you understand how hardware, electronics and software work together.
• The ability to drive a project forward, not just administer it.
