You will become part of our Portfolio & Delivery Management team in software solutions R&D, responsible for the development of all platforms that connect our hearing devices with users.

We are a diverse, motivated group of project managers and design control specialists who manage both project delivery and redefine our way of working at GN.

We don't just run projects - we continuously reinvent how we work, improving processes, modernizing ways of working, and exploring how AI can enable smarter delivery and better outcomes. In our domain, that also means getting compliance and quality right from day one, not as an afterthought.

We warmly welcome applicants of all genders, identities, and backgrounds, and we aim to create a workplace where everyone is valued and provided with fair opportunities to succeed.

• Hold a relevant technical degree or equivalent experience
• Are familiar with project management methods (PMP, Prince2 beneficial)
• Are interested in process improvement and AI-enabled ways of working
• Are proficient in English, both orally and in writing

• Deliver in a regulated space where quality and safety genuinely matter
