About Us

Wind helped us discover our planet, and now it can help us preserve it. Our vision is to provide wings for a shipping revolution, and we have two strong mother companies to back us up: Alfa Laval and Wallenius.

Would you like to drive the next wave of maritime innovation? Join our fast-growing, highly competent, and passionate team in Stockholm, Sweden. AlfaWall Oceanbird AB is a 50/50 joint venture, owned by Alfa Laval and Wallenius but operated as an independent company. We are developing wing sail technology for the global shipping market and are now looking for a Project Management Officer (PMO) to establish and develop the Project Management Office, enhancing how we coordinate projects, collaborate across teams, and scale the organisation to be able to deliver multiple parallel projects.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly skilled and mission-driven team at the intersection of engineering, sustainability, and industrial innovation.

The Role
As PMO, you will play a key role in creating structure, coordination, and transparency across cross-functional activities and projects. You will support planning, governance, reporting, and execution of both customer-facing and internal strategic projects.

This role requires strong organizational and stakeholder management skills, as well as the ability to work effectively in a fast-moving engineering-driven environment where processes and ways of working are still evolving. You will contribute to scaling deliveries, improving collaboration across functions, and building more structured and efficient ways of working across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, coordinate, and follow up on project resource manning to ensure the right competencies and capacity are allocated across customer projects and internal strategic initiatives

• Manage day-to-day activities and priorities related to the customer delivery

• Establish and maintain project structures, timelines, reporting, and governance processes

• Coordinate activities across Engineering, Product Management, Operations, Supply Chain, and Customer Project

• Monitor project progress, risks, dependencies, and resource needs

• Provide timely communication to management on top risks and key issues, as relevant

• Manage development of project management tools, processes, and ways of working

• Facilitate communication, alignment, and decision-making across functions

• Contribute to operational scaling and continuous improvement initiatives

What We Are Looking For

We believe the right candidate combines strong project coordination capability with a structured and collaborative way of working.

You likely bring:

• Experience working with complex technical or industrial projects

• Experience of the marine industry with international yard and engineering experience

• Strong planning, coordination, and stakeholder management skills

• Ability to manage multiple activities and priorities simultaneously

• Experience working cross-functionally in engineering-driven organizations

• Strong proficiency in project management methodologies, tools, and reporting structures

• Strong communication skills in an international environment

• Experience supporting industrial scaling, customer deliveries, engineering projects, or operational development initiatives is highly valuable.

Personal Profile

We are looking for someone who:

• Is structured, proactive, and solution-oriented

• Thrives in dynamic and evolving environments

• Builds trust, collaboration, and positive energy across teams

• Has an agile and pragmatic way of working

• Communicates clearly and creates alignment across stakeholders

• Balances attention to detail with a broader organizational perspective

• Enjoys enabling others to succeed through coordination and teamwork

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to contribute to one of the shipping industry’s most important transitions.

You will join a highly skilled, international, and mission-driven team developing a breakthrough technology with global relevance. The role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering, operations, and project execution while helping shape the future of wind-powered propulsion.

We offer a collaborative and entrepreneurial work environment driven by innovation, engineering excellence, and sustainability. Joining at this stage of the company’s growth provides an exciting opportunity to influence how projects, processes, and operations are built as the company scales.

Location: Stockholm, Sweden, but we’re open to other locations within Europe for the right person. Frequent commuting will be required if you are not based in Stockholm. Travel will be required as part of the role.
