Experienced Programme Manager

Are you looking for a role with the possibility to impact critical initiatives to strengthen the organization’s foundation? Do you want to be part of a team handling mission-critical initiatives in European Energy?

European Energy is a green energy company in exponential growth. We develop, construct, and operate projects within solar- (PV) and wind farms globally, as well as Power-to-X. Our core values are the foundation of everything we do: In it together, Trust and courage, Ambition, Excitement, Inclusion, and Agility.

The team

The Group Strategy team is an international and engaged group of 30 people with diverse backgrounds ranging from top-tier consultancies to environmental management and ESG. We are divided into three core pillars: Strategy, Sustainability, and Project Management Office.

Overall, our team is responsible for shaping and executing the strategic agenda, leading M&A processes, setting our ambitious direction for sustainability, and building, implementing, and maintaining a best-in-class future operating model. Our team reports directly to the company CEO, and you will be reporting to the Head of the Group Project Management Office.

How you will create an impact

As our new Programme Manager, you will oversee, prioritize, and manage the largest and most complex programs and projects across the business. You will take a leading role in shaping and implementing our strategy, redesigning, and mobilizing our future operating model, as well as ensuring fit-for-growth and efficient scaling. This is essential to a company that has grown more than 2x in a year on its RE production, achieving close to 2,000 GWH in 2023.

Your first assignment will be fully dedicated to supporting the implementation of foundational processes and solutions (IT) to support the digitalization of HR and employee lifecycle.

You will specifically take on responsibilities such as:

• You will reshape European Energy as a professional corporation by defining, implementing, and maintaining a best-in-class future operating model, including broad business process mapping
• You will manage and support Project Managers throughout the organization to deliver on strategic initiatives and workstreams as part of our new strategy
• You will shape, build, and drive an organizational-wide project excellence framework to mature and deliver backbone projects centrally
• You will define, lead, and execute large-scale strategic projects and programs, with the ability to adapt to hybrid project models
• You will keep track of overall company performance and progression on strategic initiatives, communicate to top management, and define necessary actions to course-correct if needed

With us you get

We offer an opportunity to take on a senior role in the renewables sector with great responsibility and a tangible impact on the global challenges of climate change.

• You will get the possibility to shape, drive, and implement the “strengthen the foundation” project pipeline in a leading, highly profitable company with a large appetite to move the bar even further
• You will get the autonomy to lead your own cross-functional initiatives, and over time set up your own team that directly provides advice to the CEO and Senior Management Team
• You will learn from talented colleagues with top-tier consulting, PMO, M&A, and sustainability backgrounds

What we are looking for

We seek an experienced, team-oriented individual with strong analytical and leadership capabilities, as you will be working in a high-paced and multidisciplinary environment. You find it motivating to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes and you would like to drive change and tackle some of the biggest issues of our time in a changing energy industry.

The ideal candidate will have a background that includes some of the following elements:

• Master’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, Finance, Engineering or similar
• A large appetite to take on or continue team leadership indirectly for colleagues in the business via programme leadership as well as directly for an own Programme Management team over time
• 10+ years of continuous project, program, and process management experience with large, complex, and global corporate projects, transformations, or post-merger integrations – preferably bridging business with IT and at a senior level
• Experience in performance management, monitoring, and reporting to senior management
• A strong and empathetic team player attitude with great people skills and capabilities within change management
