• Experience: At least 4-5 years of experience in project management and supplier delivery, including direct external customer management and full ownership of project budgets.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written English skills (Swedish is not required).
• Analytical Mindset: Comfortable navigating technical complexity and data-driven project metrics.
• Meritorious: Experience in driving organizational or process change, as well as leveraging AI tools to simplify, automate, and optimize workflows.
