Senior IT Project Manager

Cyber Instincts is a Gothenburg-based consultancy helping organizations build digital resilience across IT, OT, and automotive environments. Within Cyber Instincts, we're expanding beyond cybersecurity into IT project management. We work with clients across automotive, manufacturing, banking and finance, retail, and healthcare, many of them running complex transformation, infrastructure, and security programs that cut across teams, vendors, and business units. We're building our senior bench of IT project managers who can bring structure to these engagements and deliver on time, within budget, and with stakeholders on board. By applying, you join our consultant pool, and we contact you when an assignment matches your profile.

What the work may look like:

• Leading IT, digital transformation, or infrastructure projects from initiation to delivery
• Planning scope, timelines, budgets, and resources, and keeping them on track as conditions change
• Coordinating cross-functional teams, including developers, testers, architects, and external vendors
• Managing risks, dependencies, and issues before they turn into delays
• Running steering group meetings and reporting progress to management and non-technical stakeholders
• Working in agile, traditional, or hybrid delivery models depending on the client's setup
• Supporting procurement and vendor management where projects rely on suppliers or subcontractors

What you'll bring:

• 7+ years of experience as a project manager in IT or technology projects
• A track record of delivering projects with multiple stakeholders, vendors, and teams
• Solid knowledge of project methodologies such as PMI/PMBOK, PRINCE2, PROPS, or agile frameworks (Scrum, SAFe)
• Experience managing budgets, timelines, and risk in a structured and transparent way
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present to steering groups and management
• Fluent Swedish and English, spoken and written

A plus, not a requirement:

• Certifications such as PMP, PRINCE2, PMI-ACP, or SAFe
• Experience from cybersecurity, OT, or compliance-driven projects (e.g. NIS2 implementation)
• Experience from automotive, manufacturing, or the public sector
• Experience with public procurement (LOU)
• Previous consulting experience

This is a Sweden-based role with hybrid or on-site placements at client sites across the country. Applicants must currently reside in Sweden. You'll be employed or engaged on a freelance basis and placed directly with our clients for the duration of each engagement.
