• Ensure alignment on the project plan with the team and key stakeholders
• Proactively manage stakeholder expectations and ensure clear, consistent communication
• Identify project risks and issues and implement mitigation strategies
• Track and report progress at agreed intervals to relevant stakeholders

• A Master’s in Chemical or Biochemical Engineering, or Sustainability Management, is a strong plus
• Minimum of 5 years’ professional project management experience, with a strong track record of successful delivery
• Demonstrated experience in process improvement initiatives (Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent is a plus)
• Proven organizational, budgeting, and results-oriented skills
• Strong conceptual thinking combined with a hands-on, practical mindset
• Experience in international business environments and change management
• Proficient in MS Office (including MS Project)
• Willingness to travel up to 30% across EMEA
