About the role
Maxitech is now looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager for a long-term assignment with a large organization undergoing a significant digital transformation. The role is based in Södertälje and the assignment is expected to last for at least 12 months. This is a central position in the implementation of a new modern data and analytics platform.
The client is in the process of strengthening its data-driven capabilities, where data, analytics, automation and predictive ways of working are key components in creating better decision-making, improving operational efficiency and optimizing business-critical processes.
