This is a broad and influential position. You will lead the project management team in Mora while personally driving larger and more complex projects.

You will have the opportunity to establish a common platform, develop consistent project processes and help the organization turn strategic priorities into measurable results.

In this role, you will:

About the role

As PMO Manager, you are responsible for effective planning, governance and delivery across Wibe’s project portfolio. The role combines leadership, operational project execution and governance. You will create structure and shared working methods while ensuring that projects remain aligned with business objectives.

You will manage three project managers in Mora, with different levels of experience, and provide clear leadership that brings the team together. An important part of the assignment is to establish consistent project processes and ways of working, including the use of project management systems such as Smartsheet.

Your responsibilities include maintaining project standards and documentation quality, monitoring priorities and resources, supporting project managers, coordinating changes and mitigation activities, and escalating risks, issues or resource constraints when required. You will also facilitate governance reviews and recommend improvements to strengthen project delivery.

The position is based in Mora and reports to the Operations Director. Travel connected to projects and collaboration with other Wibe locations may be required.

What we are looking for

• Strong organizational, analytical and stakeholder communication skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and project management or reporting tools; experience with Smartsheet is an advantage
• The ability to manage several projects and priorities simultaneously

• You communicate effortlessly in both Swedish and English, verbally as well as in writing.

Who you are
