Project Manager, IT Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestments (MAD)

Are you an experienced IT Project Manager with an interest in mergers and acquisitions?

In this role, you will spend most of your time leading IT projects related to Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestments (MAD). During periods when there are fewer ongoing MAD projects, you will lead other IT projects within Fortum.

About the role

As Project Manager, you will be responsible for managing IT MAD projects and other IT projects, together with the project owners, project stakeholders and project team.

You will act as the operational lead for the project and oversee its day-to-day activities. You will be responsible for ensuring that the agreed project scope is delivered according to timeline, budget and quality expectations.

The primary type of projects you will lead are IT MAD projects. Specific aspects of leading IT MAD projects include:

- Managing and supporting IT (V)DD activities, data gathering, planning (e.g. Day 1 readiness, carve-outs, integrations and project plans), TSA development and project execution.

- Managing and supporting IT carve-outs and integrations.

- Supporting the use of common IT MAD methodologies, tools and templates across projects.

- Contributing to the further development of IT MAD-related processes, methods and tools.

- Reporting projects to the IT M&A Lead.

- Helping to manage IT MAD stakeholder groups.

As a Project Manager for any project, you take responsibility to, for example:

- Creating project plans in cooperation with relevant parties and ensuring agreed deliverables and project outcomes are completed.

- Following up on the business case, value creation and KPIs.

- Ensuring Fortum's project model requirements are met and applying the IT MAD project playbook in relevant projects, while contributing to its further development when needed. Ensuring the projects are planned with all needed actions as required by the Fortum general operative models and instructions.

- Monitoring project finances, risks and dependencies, and providing project reporting.

- Ensuring effective communication and information sharing, and resolving issues and roadblocks.

About you

You are highly structured and excel at translating complex situations into clear plans, milestones and actions. You proactively identify risks, dependencies and decision points and ensure project remains on track.

You have a strong delivery mindset and proven ability to lead projects from planning through execution and completion. You follow up on commitments, remove roadblocks and ensure actions are completed.

You communicate clearly and effectively, build trust with a wide range of stakeholders and are comfortable engaging with both subject matter experts and senior decision makers.

To be successful in this role, we believe you have:

- 3-5 years’ experience in project management, particularly within IT MAD projects, as well as broader IT projects.

- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration or another relevant field.

- Project Management Certification (e.g. IPMA, PMI, Prince).

- Fluent written and spoken English.

- Good leadership and communication skills.

- Ability to work a few days a week from Fortum’s office in Espoo, Finland.
