What you’ll do as a Project Manager?
As a Project Manager, you will steward enterprise-wide transformation initiatives that shape the long-term strategic direction of Operations and Axis. Your mission as a Project Manager is to guide and facilitate intricate transformation initiatives – ranging from business development to system implementation, or a combination of both.

In this role, you will inspire strategic choices, help shape governance structures, and act as a trusted advisor across the organization. You will weave clarity to ambiguous areas and technical landscapes, define solution strategies, and guide cross-functional teams through change, ensuring that the new capabilities harmonize with Axis’ ways of working and digital ambitions. With a broad understanding of business processes, systems, and cross-functional dependencies, you will explore organizational impact across functions and translate complex challenges into scalable, futureproof solutions. Whether shepherding a major project or cultivating a key solution area, you will inspire the organization to think expansively and embrace digital transformation.

You will work closely with senior stakeholders and subject matter experts across the company to guide strategic decisions with lasting impact. By balancing subject-matter expertise, technical insight, and holistic strategic thinking – while navigating diverse stakeholders – you will serve as a guiding force in Axis’ transformation journey.
Your main responsibilities include:

• Leading highly complex, cross-functional, and strategically important improvement and transformation initiatives across Axis
• Bringing clarity and creating structure in ambiguous areas and complex technical landscapes to guide senior leadership in the decision-making process
• Developing detailed business cases and conduct return on investment assessments to highlight opportunities and create a sense of urgency
• Defining clear success metrics and ensuring follow-up on business impact and long-term outcomes
• Applying in-depth knowledge of the organization, including processes, ways of working, and IT systems, to understand enterprise-wide dependencies and potential impact across functions
• Designing solution strategies and translating organizational challenges into scalable, futureproof solutions
• Leading cross-functional teams through change and ensuring sustainable adoption of new capabilities and ways of working
• Challenging existing structures and introducing new innovative approaches to support digital and organizational transformation
• Ensuring solutions and processes evolve in alignment with Axis’ long-term strategy, operational excellence and business innovation
• Balancing technical insight, subject matter expertise, and holistic strategic thinking while navigating diverse stakeholder interests
• Navigating the organization with excellent people skills and advanced stakeholder management, balancing conflicting interests to achieve the best outcome for Axis
• Educating internal and external stakeholders on new processes, ways of working, and implemented solutions
