Team and Responsibilities

You bring structure to complexity – and reliably bring projects to completion?
As a Senior Project Manager at BLACKROLL®, you strategically manage highly visible programs and ensure that ambitious goals turn into measurable results. You connect strategy with operational excellence and keep things together – even when it gets complex.

In this role, you are responsible for the planning, management, and successful implementation of strategic (transformation) programs – from initial conception to clean completion. You ensure reliability, quality, and measurable, sustainable added value.
You work closely with cross-functional teams, management, and external partners, ensuring clear structures, transparent communication, and a stable delivery rhythm – even in high complexity.

Your responsibilities in detail:

• Overall responsibility for complex, strategic programs and projects across all phases (planning, implementation, completion)
• Translating strategic goals into concrete project and roadmap structures
• Managing schedules, budgets, resources, scope, quality, and controlling
• Leading and coordinating interdisciplinary teams as well as external partners and service providers
• Active management of dependencies, risks, and milestones, including early derivation of countermeasures
• Moderating team- and partner-spanning meetings, workshops, and alignments
• Continuous monitoring of project goals, KPIs, costs, and impact to ensure business impact
• Preparation and presentation of results, decision bases, and recommendations for management and steering committees
• Further development, establishment, and scaling of project management standards as well as the application of agile working methods in the company

• You work structured, solution-oriented, and implementation-strong, even under time pressure.
• You appear confident, communicate clearly, and enjoy working interdisciplinarily with different teams.
• You have very good English skills; German skills are an advantage.
