About this role
Role Overview: At CSA, no two projects look the same. One quarter you might be rolling out a new process or platform, and the next you might be running a procurement / tender project, onboarding a logistics partner, or launching an internal initiative from scratch. We’re looking for an experienced, versatile Project Manager who can take the team to define goals & scope and turn it into something delivered. You’ll work across the whole business: operations, commercial, finance, procurement, legal and technology, as well as with customers and partners. Some projects come with a clear brief; others need you to help shape the scope with stakeholders before getting into delivery. What you’ll do * Manage a variety of internal and external projects end to end, from scoping and planning through delivery and handover * Own plans, timelines, budgets, risks and resources, and adjust them when priorities shift, which they will * Act as the central point of contact for internal teams, customers, suppliers and logistics partners * Bring structure to ambiguous situations: define the problem, align stakeholders and set a clear path forward * Drive implementation of processes, systems and SOPs so that what we build actually sticks * Keep stakeholders at every level informed with clear, honest communication, especially when things get difficult * Spot improvement opportunities across the business and act on them without waiting to be asked What you bring * 3-5+ years of project management experience, with a strong track record of delivering in a hands-on, operational environment * Freight forwarding, logistics or supply chain experience is essential. Good understanding in RFI/RFQ, procurement, contract management, and logistics operations. 4PL or digital freight environment would be a plus. * Experience running a mix of project types, such as operational, procurement, commercial, customer-facing and system implementations * Confidence working independently, setting your own priorities and taking decisions * Excellent communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to adapt your message for different stakeholders * Fluent English, other languages are a plus Who you are * Resilient: You stay steady under pressure, handle setbacks calmly and keep projects moving. * Adaptive: You’re comfortable switching between projects, contexts and audiences, and you treat change as part of the job. * A strong communicator: People trust you because you’re clear, direct and keep them in the loop. * Delivery-driven: You care about outcomes rather than activity, and you take ownership until the job is done. * Self-starting: You’re curious and resourceful. You pick things up quickly, ask questions when you need to, and use the guidance and support around you to drive projects forward. Nice to have * PMP, PRINCE2 or a similar certification * Experience with RFI/RFQ processes, procurement or contract management * Exposure to logistics technology, SaaS platforms or digital transformation projects What we offer * Variety and impact: a broad, visible role across the whole organization, with projects that shape how the business runs and grows * Autonomy and trust: real ownership of your work and a direct line to leadership * Growth: room to expand your scope as you prove yourself, with exposure to both traditional and digital sides of the logistics industry * An international environment: working with colleagues, customers and partners around the world
