Job description

Are you passionate about turning strategy into market impact?

Do you enjoy working at the intersection of global strategy, regional priorities, and local market execution? Are you an experienced project manager who can work in a matrix organization, create clarity in a complex stakeholder environment, mobilize teams, and ensure that strategic initiatives are successfully implemented?

Then you may be the Commercial Project Manager we are looking for.

Your challenges

You will play a key role in translating global and regional priorities into tangible results across markets in VELUX South-West Region: Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Portugal.

You will act as the connecting point between global functions and market organizations, ensuring that strategically important projects are understood, adapted, implemented, and anchored across the region. You will bring structure and momentum to cross‑functional initiatives while helping global and regional teams understand local market needs, opportunities, and constraints. You may also manage selected regional projects from initial scoping through deployment and value realization. Depending on the initiative, you may lead the entire project or take responsibility for regional deployment of a global project.

The position requires strong project management capabilities, commercial understanding, and the ability to influence stakeholders without necessarily having formal authority. You will work in a dynamic, international, and matrix‑based environment, collaborating with colleagues at global, regional and market levels.

Your primary responsibilities

Bridge global, regional, and market perspectives

• Act as a key point of connection between global functions, regional leadership, and market organizations.
• Consolidate market input and provide global teams with structured feedback on local requirements, readiness, risks, and opportunities.
• Facilitate alignment where global standards and market‑specific needs must be balanced.
• Promote transparency and a shared understanding of roles, responsibilities, expectations, and decision rights.

Facilitate market deployment and anchoring

• Develop deployment approaches that define how initiatives will be introduced, localized, communicated, and embedded across markets.
• Assess market readiness and identify the capabilities, resources, tools, and local adaptations required for successful implementation.
• Coordinate training, communication, stakeholder engagement, and change‑management activities with the relevant functions.
• Monitor adoption after launch and address barriers that could prevent initiatives from becoming part of everyday operations.

Lead regional strategic projects

• Lead selected cross‑market projects from initiation and planning through implementation, anchoring, and follow‑up.
• Define project scope, objectives, deliverables, governance, milestones, resource requirements, and success criteria.
• Establish clear project plans and maintain visibility of progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and unresolved issues.
• Escalate critical issues and facilitate timely decisions when priorities, resources, or objectives are unclear.

Drive performance and value realization

• Define meaningful measures of implementation progress, adoption, business impact, and project success.
• Monitor results and provide structured updates to regional leadership and relevant stakeholders.
• Ensure that projects remain connected to their intended business outcomes rather than focusing only on activity completion.
• Identify opportunities to improve project impact, simplify deployment, or accelerate adoption.
• Capture lessons learned and share effective practices across markets and functions.

Support regional prioritization and continuous improvement

• Contribute to the prioritization process for portfolio of global projects
• Support the assessment of new project requests, including expected value, feasibility, market relevance, resource requirements, and interdependencies.
• Identify common market needs that could be addressed through regional or global solutions.
• Help strengthen project management, deployment, and change‑management practices across the region.

Your Qualifications

To succeed in this role, you are a structured and pragmatic project leader who can combine strategic thinking with hands‑on execution. You are comfortable moving between high‑level discussions and detailed implementation planning.

You build trust across organizational boundaries and know how to create commitment among stakeholders with different perspectives, priorities, and levels of readiness.

Furthermore, we expect that you:

• Have a master’s degree from a business school or university in a relevant subject. Recent Management Consulting Experience (1-2 years of experience) or in‑house is a plus
• Have 3-5 years’ experience in managing complex, cross‑functional projects in an international or matrix organization.
• Can demonstrate successful implementation and anchoring of strategic initiatives.
• Possess strong project management, stakeholder management, facilitation, and change‑management capabilities.
• Are able to create clarity from ambiguity and bring structure to complex initiatives.
• Can influence, challenge, and engage stakeholders without relying on formal authority.
• Have strong analytical and problem‑solving skills and can turn insights into clear recommendations and actions.
• Communicate clearly and confidently with both operational teams and senior leaders.
• Possess solid Power Point and Excel skills
• Are proactive, accountable, collaborative, and focused on outcomes.
• Are fluent in written and spoken English. Another language from the region is a plus
• Are willing to travel within the region when required.
