Project Manager

There is a form within jazz music called ”free jazz”. If you are familiar with it, you know that it is minimally influenced by formal boundaries, with every musician doing their own thing. Sounds like chaos, right? But it works, its beautiful. Sometimes going to work as a project manager for Skymill can seem a bit like free jazz. You are surrounded by talented people: technical and non technical teams, clients, co-workers, project members etc, often ”doing their own thing” and you must be the leader that brings them all together to create that beauty. Sound interesting? Well, read on free jazz manager.

What you will be doing

As a project manager within our Skymill ensemble, you will have an overall responsibility of execution processes needed by our clients. Everything from planning to implementation and monitoring. Sometimes you even have to be that coaching leader that puts the team straight by being a role model who excels in communication. You have to be the hub between internal and external stakeholders, always using your excellent communication and coordination skills to make sure the project reaches its milestones and goals.

For every musician to play at their best you must act as a tactical sounding board for every stakeholder associated with the project. This means that you have to be able to put yourself in the shoes of every project member, owner, target group as well as internal and externals stakeholder.

Since you will be the leader of this free jazz band, you decide when to throw in more saxophone, when to remove some of the drums etc. etc. (in other words you are the guy identifying and handling resource needs and requirements). Completing the project and reaching its goals combining the efforts of you and your team is your main priority.

Skills

To be successful in this role you need to love the idea behind free jazz and be able to apply this to the field of project management within the IT sector. Other than this we also think that you need to be able to check a few, but not necessarily all the boxes below:

- A few years of experience from managing large projects within the IT and IoT sector, mainly aimed towards infrastructure, system development, business development and product development.
- General technical knowledge of hardware development(electronics, mechanics)
- General technical knowledge of software development (embedded, applications)
- Knowledge of connected devices and IoT
- Knowledge of industrialization and production
- Leadership qualities (can’t be stressed enough). The ability to get very differentiated teams to work together towards a common goal is crucial

What we offer you:

To show our appreciation, we will put together a pretty sweet deal for you. Apart from working with one of the fastest growing, most flexible companies in the region, you will get a competitive salary and pension package, as well as 30 days paid vacation from the get go. You will be working alongside lots of smart and talented developers and project managers with extensive experience from the industry, each being a master of their own instrument. To our mid-level project managers, we offer a work-based mentorship from one of our more senior consultants, who will actively support you for as long you feel the need for it. For our senior managers we offer personal and professional development through the same mentorship program.
