Job summary

Rolls-Royce is seeking a Project Manager for its Krakow Global Capability Centre to lead complex GBS transition and transformation projects end-to-end. You will own practical delivery planning, manage risks, dependencies and stakeholder coordination, and ensure transitions land to scope, timeline, cost, and adoption expectations.

The role requires significant delivery experience in matrix, multi-location environments and excellent English communication, with hybrid work from the Krakow office.

Qualifications

• Significant project / transition management experience in complex business change or GBS environments.
• Proven delivery of cross-functional projects through planning, execution, risk / dependency management and stakeholder coordination.
• Evidence of owning delivery outcomes in transformation environments, not only coordinating plans, reporting or RAID.
• Functional knowledge relevant to the assigned 2027 focus area, combined with strong PM discipline and delivery ownership.
• Hands‑on, proactive delivery style: able to identify obstacles and keep work moving with minimal direction.
• Experience working across matrix teams and multiple locations or countries.
• Strong communication, reporting and escalation skills.
• Resilience and pragmatism when plans change and priorities shift.
• Excellent English communication skills (C1).

Responsibilities

• Lead assigned transition / project workstreams end-to-end from mobilisation through delivery, stabilisation and handover.
• Build and maintain integrated plans, milestones, RAID, dependencies, actions and decision logs.
• Drive delivery against agreed scope, timeline, cost and quality expectations, escalating blockers and resolving issues quickly.
• Work across functional SMEs, country teams, GCC leaders, PMO, Change and Service Management to coordinate delivery.
• Translate functional and transition requirements into practical delivery plans, readiness activity and clear accountable actions.
• Maintain clear reporting and stakeholder updates, highlighting progress, risks, decisions and support required.
• Apply common PM methods, governance, templates and tools consistently across transition activity.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to stronger future GBS transition and programme delivery capability.
• Build transferable PM capability so the role can support broader GBS projects and transformation activity beyond the initial transition scope.
