About the role

We are seeking a dynamic and value orientated Programme Manager to join Valtech and oversee and drive forward large digital transformation programmes here in Copenhagen, Denmark. As a Programme Manager, your wealth of experience and knowledge will mean that you are not only skilled in not only Agile but other project management frameworks as well as bringing teams together and encouraging collaboration. It is important that the successful candidate has a values driven mindset and can demonstrate value through metrics and data. This role would ideally suit some who has previous experience within a consultancy environment but this experience is not essential.

There will be regularly onsite working required with our client based in Copenhagen so candidates should be willing and able to work hybrid from both our Valtech offices and client offices as and when needed.
