Job description

Mölnlycke is a global medical solutions company that designs and delivers innovative products and services across wound care, operating room solutions, gloves, and antiseptics. Our mission is to advance performance in healthcare by supporting professionals, improving outcomes, and making a difference where it matters most.

Mölnlycke is now looking for a Senior Global Project Manager to join our newly established Wound Care PMO.

Why This Role Matters

This isn't just an opportunity to lead strategic projects—it's an opportunity to help build the future of project management at Mölnlycke.

As part of our newly established Global PMO, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how we execute strategy across the organization. We are transforming from a landscape where project management has often been performed as a side responsibility into a professional, value‑driven project organization that enables stronger execution, greater business impact, and consistent delivery excellence.

This role is a true lighthouse position within the PMO. We're looking for an experienced project leader who can set the benchmark for project excellence, bring fresh external perspectives, and help establish the standards, behaviours, and ways of working that will define our PMO for years to come.

Here's how you'll make an impact in this role:

• Lead complex, cross‑functional global projects and programs that are critical to Mölnlycke's strategic priorities.
• Drive initiatives across new product development, innovation, business transformation, and M&A integration.
• Translate strategy into executable plans and deliver measurable business value.
• Build alignment across global stakeholders including R&D, Marketing, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Commercial and Operations teams.
• Apply Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid delivery approaches depending on business needs and project context.
• Drive governance, decision‑making, risk management, and benefit realization throughout the project lifecycle.
• Help shape and mature the newly established Global PMO, contributing to standards, methodologies, governance, and capability development.
• Act as a role model and trusted advisor, demonstrating what great project leadership looks like across the organization.
• Support knowledge sharing, mentoring, and the professionalization of project management practices at Mölnlycke.

What you'll get

• Permanent position.
• Hybrid working approach aligned with company policy (minimum 3 days/week onsite).
• Competitive compensation package including bonus scheme.
• Generous vacation and benefits package.
• Wellbeing initiatives supporting physical, mental, and emotional health.
• A purpose‑driven culture where your work contributes to better healthcare outcomes worldwide.

What you bring

• Extensive experience as a professional Project Manager or Program Manager leading complex, cross‑functional initiatives.
• Experience navigating ambiguity, organizational change, and evolving business environments.
• Outstanding stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence without formal authority.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to engage with senior leaders and executive stakeholders.
• Strong business and commercial acumen, with the ability to connect projects to value creation and strategic outcomes.
• Strong expertise across project delivery methodologies, including Agile, Waterfall, Stage‑Gate, and Hybrid approaches.
• A proven track record of delivering projects in regulated environments.
• Knowledge and experience of working in SAFe or other agile at scale settings.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Business, or a related field.

Nice‑to‑haves

• Experience helping build, transform, or mature a PMO function.
• Experience with M&A integration projects.
• Exposure to value‑stream organizations.
• PMP, PRINCE2, or similar project management certification.
• RTE, LPM or similar certifications.
• Experience within Medical Devices, Pharma, Automotive, or other highly regulated industries.
• Experience delivering projects involving hardware or combined hardware/software products.

Beyond experience and qualifications, we're looking for someone with natural leadership presence, curiosity, resilience, and a strong drive to create positive change. Someone who combines urgency with empathy, builds trust through influence, and is energized by helping shape both a team and a function during an exciting period of growth and transformation.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion and build a workplace where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We believe that a diverse mix of people from different cultures, ages, geographies, and genders strengthens the organization.
