Job description

About the role

As an IT Project Manager at Matrix42, you will be responsible for delivery projects related to Service Management (ITSM/ESM) and Identity Management (IAM/IGA) solutions. Your work will focus particularly on the German and Finnish markets and on successfully delivering projects related to public and private sector tenders. You will collaborate closely with sales, technical consultants, and clients to ensure successful project delivery and high customer satisfaction.

You can work in a hybrid model from the Espoo (Säteri), Kuopio, or Frankfurt office, and you enjoy meeting colleagues and customers face‑to‑face on a regular basis. The role requires occasional travel depending on project and customer needs.

Benefits and Opportunities

• The opportunity to build your career in a growing international company
• A warm, low‑hierarchy, people‑centric work community where colleagues support each other and laughter is part of everyday life
• An agile growth company of the right size, without unnecessary bureaucracy, but with clear processes and strong development opportunities
• A working culture where humanity and well‑being come first, while drive and high motivation are visible in everyday work

Work tasks

In your role as IT Project Manager, you will be fully responsible for planning, executing, and steering customer projects related to Service and Identity Management solutions. Your tasks include close collaboration with sales, technical experts, and customers, as well as managing project resources, time entries, and budget adherence.

• Lead end‑to‑end planning and execution of IT implementation and development projects
• Guide and coordinate technical consultants and the project team
• Monitor project resources, budgets, and schedules to ensure targets are met
• Conduct status meetings and report progress to steering groups and other stakeholders
• Ensure customer satisfaction and proactive communication throughout all project phases

We are looking for

• Strong experience leading IT projects in direct client‑facing roles, ideally on the supplier side, acting as the primary point of contact between customer and delivery teams
• Fluent German and English skills, and Finnish language skills are an advantage
• Knowledge of different project management methodologies (e.g., Agile and Waterfall)
• Willingness to travel when required by projects
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with various stakeholders

Experience with public sector tendering processes and working with public sector customers as well as delivering SaaS‑based or platform solutions is an additional asset.

To succeed in this role you are

• Proactive and eager to learn – you adopt new knowledge quickly and boldly seize development opportunities
• Curious about change – you thrive in an environment where processes evolve, new people and products are introduced, and you can adapt your approach to different situations
• Natural organizer and bridge‑builder – you guide both customers and project teams toward shared goals, collaborate smoothly with stakeholders, and communicate credibly even in demanding situations
• Service‑minded and solution‑oriented – you sense the dynamics of customer situations, identify opportunities to add value, and take responsibility for ensuring smooth progress for both the customer and your own organization

The role will later require passing a limited security clearance.
