This internship is a hands-on opportunity to learn end-to-end project delivery in a fast-moving tech environment.

• Support coordination between development, design, QA, and client stakeholders.
• Identify and log risks, blockers, and dependencies; help drive mitigation actions.
• Maintain and update project documentation: project charters, roadmaps, status reports, and change logs.
• Prepare simple dashboards or trackers (Excel/Sheets) for timelines, scope, and resource allocation.
• Assist in release planning and go-live coordination, including checklists and communication updates.
• Contribute to client-facing updates, presentations, and summary reports.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, IT/Information Systems, Engineering, Management, or a related field.
• Strong organisational and communication skills; structured, proactive, and detail-oriented.
• Comfortable working with Excel/Google Sheets and basic project tracking tools.
• Exposure to Agile/Scrum or project management concepts is a plus.
• Interest in technology, digital products, and learning modern project management practices.
• Proficiency in English (knowledge of Swedish is a plus).
• Ability to work collaboratively in a cross-cultural, fast-paced environment.

You Will Gain

• Real-world experience managing software and digital projects from planning to delivery.
• Mentorship from experienced project managers, product owners, and engineers.
• Opportunities to take ownership of mini-projects or workstreams.
• Hybrid flexibility for a healthy balance between remote and office work.
• Clear growth pathways, skill-building sessions, and a supportive team culture.
• Internship certificate and strong potential for a full-time offer upon completion.
