Description
Who we are
Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.
As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.
We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.
The role
We are looking for a (Senior) Project Manager within our Land domain with exceptional project management skills to own all aspects of both internal and external project coordination of a prestigious and complex project. Furthermore, we are looking for someone with business acumen and technical savviness to work closely with and oversee one of our most prestigious delivery teams.
Working closely with the delivery teams at the intersection between technical and commercial delivery within Helsing requires strategic oversight, while maintaining tight control over the day-to-day project work.
In this role you will work closely with partners and customers as well as with Helsing internal senior stakeholders. You will own the daily and weekly prioritisation of deliverables, coordination of meetings, internal tracking of project KPIs, and implementation of the project roadmap. Thus, you will support the overarching achievement of Helsing’s strategic goals and make transparent how your project contributes to Helsing’s business success. You will work closely with Programme Management to optimise future opportunities.
The day-to-day
No two days as a (Senior) Project Manager within our Land domain at Helsing are the same and you may find yourself doing any (or all!) of the below on a day-to-day basis:
- Understanding project deliverables and priorities and managing internal and external stakeholder interactions accordingly
- Planning and updating the internal and external project roadmap and ensuring the project team is aligned on the requirements, priorities and deliverables
- Building a project steering dashboard and tracking of project KPIs for briefing of company management
- Communicating project status to customers / partners
- Surfacing challenges / risks and proposing course correction as needed
- Projecting headcount and informing the project-related recruitment needs
- Implementing efficient project governance and means for continuous improvement for the benefit of the entire company
- Contributing to the development of Helsing’s project management organisation by leading from the front
You should apply if you
- Have a proven track record (minimum 5 years' experience) as project manager / delivery lead in defence, automotive or aerospace industry or related sectors
- Have experience in the management of large-scale projects
- Are certified as Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent certification, or equivalent experience
- Have a university degree (or equivalent experience) in any subject relevant to these sectors, including but not limited to political science, mechanical, industrial or electrical engineering
- Are willing to travel regularly
- Are business fluent in English and Swedish
- Are a high performer who thrives in a fast-paced environment
- Are collaborative, humble and a problem-solver
- Ability to analyse and present complex issues
- Are ready to meet all necessary requirements for a security clearance according to the respective national laws
Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.
