About Trusted Shops
Trusted Shops is a leading provider of trust solutions for e-commerce. With over 800 employees across a dozen European countries, we ensure that consumers can shop online with confidence. Through certifications and the Trusted Shops Trustmark, we guarantee the security, quality, and reliability of online stores.
As part of the Project Management team, you will lead and deliver projects centered around business transformation initiatives. These projects span key areas such as process improvement, technology implementation, and organizational change management, including end-user adoption. You will leverage cross-functional teams from within the organization-such as Process, Technology, Legal, and HR-to execute work aligned with the project’s objectives, ensuring delivery within scope, budget, and time constraints while meeting quality expectations. Where internal expertise or technology is lacking, procurement and budget oversight for external resources also falls within your remit.
Only applications in English will be taken into consideration.
Your Tasks
- Project Scoping and Strategic Alignment - Define goals, scope, and success criteria in partnership with sponsors, ensuring each project aligns with a compelling business case or strategic objective.
- Planning and Scheduling - Develop delivery timelines using appropriate methodologies (agile or traditional), with a clear breakdown of tasks that support timely execution.
- Team Assembly and Resource Management - Lead the formation of cross-functional teams, identify internal and external resource needs, and manage project budgets to ensure effective execution.
- Performance Monitoring and Risk Mitigation - Track milestones and key metrics tied to business value, while continuously assessing risks and implementing necessary controls to keep the project on course.
- Stakeholder Engagement and Communication - Maintain strong alignment with stakeholders through proactive communication, expectation management, and consistent status updates.
- Change Management and Adoption - Drive organizational change by fostering internal ownership, building advocacy, and supporting the adoption of new processes or solutions.
- Transparency and Long-Term Impact - Ensure thorough documentation and communication across the project lifecycle, designing tracking methods that reinforce sustainable outcomes and long-term success.
