Join atNorth as our new PMO and Project Excellence Manager and take the lead in shaping how projects and programs are delivered across one of the fastest-growing Nordic data center companies.
In this pivotal role, you will define, mature, and scale our project management framework — enabling clarity, consistency, and excellence across teams as we expand.
As the PMO and Project Excellence Manager, you will build the foundation for atNorth’s project and program management practices, drive adoption across the organization, and provide coaching and governance for our most strategic initiatives. You will play a central role in supporting OKR fulfillment, strengthening cross-functional collaboration, and ensuring that critical projects have the visibility, structure, and support they need to succeed.
About the Role:
Through regular one-to-one engagements and monthly wellbeing surveys, we listen carefully to our teams, ensuring that every voice is heard and every opportunity for improvement is embraced. We recognize that innovation and collaboration thrive where people feel truly connected, which is why we come together each week to share ideas, strengthen relationships, and nurture a sense of belonging—sometimes over a simple breakfast and good conversation.
At atNorth, we are building more than infrastructure. We are building a community where people can do their best work and shape the future together.
