Working as a PM at Zühlke is different to traditional project management career paths. Where typical project management roles are limited to the administrative and organizational tasks of creating plans, allocating resources and managing schedules, Zühlke’s project managers play a much bigger role in enabling transformation.
We value people with a rich and diverse range of experience to draw from. The main prerequisite is that you’re fascinated by technology and believe passionately that when multidisciplinary teams work well together, they can have a huge positive impact on the world.
You’ll be an active participant in helping developers and technology experts find groundbreaking solutions to complex problems. You’ll understand the specific needs of our clients you lead, and work to create the culture and conditions for our specialists to do their best work.
We are the place to work if you love helping clients tackle problems that have not been solved before. Most of the time that means following agile project management methodologies with a core element of ‘building the right thing’ and ‘building it right’. Agile project management is a good fit here because innovation benefits from structured iteration. Agile project management can protect the time and space needed to fully understand the problem space and align on the right goals, before (and while) hitting the gas on delivery.
Zühlke’s project managers help some of the most interesting and exciting companies in their transformation journey to tackle tomorrow’s challenges —together, we explore ideas, build solutions and achieve goals that require collaboration across large multidisciplinary teams of experts. As a Project Manager, you will help clients analyse and understand their needs and form those insights into a scoping plan and roadmap. Project management career paths and growth opportunities are all about leadership, enablement and coaching as it is all about project organisation.
The project manager role is about acting as the first touchpoint in helping clients formalize their goals and objectives into achievable project plans. You’ll work directly with clients and Zühlke teams early on – at the start of projects or even during the bid phase – to align on the high-level objectives, before applying guidelines for the scope, roadmap, timelines and formal goals of each project.
As a baseline, you’ll set and maintain good communication between clients and stakeholders, by facilitating daily discussions and stand-ups, sprint planning, and holding retrospectives to resolve issues and drive efficiency.
But you’ll also create an environment for technical practitioners to excel – by balancing practical considerations (like budgets and schedules) with the room to experiment and innovate. You’ll help to unpack problems in new ways and spot opportunities to bring different skill sets together that might yield new solutions.
The great thing about project management careers at Zühlke is how varied the work is. You’ll learn about delivering projects involving different technologies, for different customer groups across many different industries. You’ll also learn how to communicate and coach technical teams and lead client stakeholders from various backgrounds.
