About this role

We are looking for an experienced Senior IT Project Manager to join us at Telia Cygate.

My name is Christian Thiel, and I am responsible for the Project Management Team at Telia Cygate Region SouthWest. I’m now looking for an experienced project manager who wants to become part of our team and contribute with both experience and strong delivery leadership. We are a supportive and forward-looking team with a strong focus on delivering customer IT infrastructure projects with high quality, clear communication, and a strong sense of ownership.

In this role, you will lead complex IT projects and customer deliveries, often involving multiple technical areas, stakeholders, dependencies, and suppliers. Structure, transparency, trust, and the ability to maintain control throughout the delivery are essential.

What you’ll do:

As a Senior IT Project Manager, you are expected to take ownership of your projects and confidently drive them from initiation to successful delivery. You are comfortable making decisions, challenging when necessary, managing risks and changes, and creating alignment between customers, technical specialists, sales, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

You do not need to be a technical specialist yourself, but you need a good understanding of IT solutions, systems, and infrastructure. This enables you to understand technical dependencies and risks, ask the right questions, and effectively lead projects in technically complex environments.

Plan, lead, and manage complex customer IT projects from initiation to completion, ensuring delivery according to agreed scope, timeline, budget, and quality.
Take ownership of your projects and proactively manage risks, dependencies, changes, priorities, and expectations.
Act as the main point of contact for customers and build trusted relationships with customer stakeholders throughout the project delivery.
Coordinate closely with sales, technical specialists, delivery teams, partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
Facilitate effective communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders and translate complex topics into clear decisions and actions.
Manage challenging situations and competing priorities while maintaining momentum and focus on the agreed project objectives.
Contribute your experience and knowledge to the continued development of our project management practices, ways of working, and collaboration within Telia Cygate.

What will help you thrive in this role:

At least 6–7 years of professional experience leading IT-related projects, with a proven track record of successfully delivering complex projects in customer-facing environments.
Good understanding of IT solutions, systems, and IT infrastructure, enabling you to understand technical dependencies, risks, and challenges within your projects.
Experience leading projects involving multiple technical teams, stakeholders, suppliers, and dependencies.
Strong leadership skills and the confidence to create direction, drive decisions, challenge when needed, and keep projects moving forward.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to adapt your communication to technical specialists, business stakeholders, and senior decision-makers.
A structured, proactive, and solution-oriented approach, with the ability to maintain control in complex and changing environments.
Fluency in Swedish (native or near-native) and good English.

What will help you thrive in this role:

Experience working within IT infrastructure, networking, security, cloud, data center, or other technology-driven environments.
Experience working in a consulting, managed services, systems integrator, or customer delivery organization.
Relevant project management certification, such as PMP, PRINCE2, IPMA, or equivalent.
