Role Overview

We are seeking a Project Manager to support an organizational-level profitability optimization program in the battery materials sector for the EV transition.

• Create and maintain a timeline of existing projects and ensure follow-up.
• Facilitate cross-department collaboration, including procurement, supply chain, production, and operational excellence.
• Revalidate cost assumptions (e.g., headcount, volumes) and support baselining activities.
• Support the definition of KPIs (e.g., OEE or others as applicable).
• Organize and facilitate meetings and workshops; take minutes, circulate notes, and consolidate input.
• Develop a detailed action plan based on agreed milestones and ensure timely execution.
• Track deadlines and ensure accountability across stakeholders.

Requirements

• 3–4 years of experience in Project Management or Finance Project Management.
• Strong organizational and communication skills; ability to consolidate and align cross-functional input.
• Experience with strategic/financial project frameworks is an advantage.
• English fluency required; Polish is a plus.
• Knowledge of project management methodologies (e.g., Prince2) is an asset, though not mandatory.
• Comfortable working in a remote, EU-based environment.
