SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER - DEVELOPMENT

Want to join us in building a better tomorrow together? We are currently recruiting a Senior Project Manager for our Development team in Estonia! People join us to become a part of a diverse community of experienced professionals and continuous learners. And people stay for the same reason. At Solita, you will find an easy-going work culture where you can be yourself no matter who you are.

Typically, at Solita the role of a development project manager includes elements of both project manager and service manager roles. Your role may include launching new projects or further developing and maintaining existing projects or provide the customer with initial support for ongoing services. We don’t have one typical Solita development project. Projects can differ in multiple ways: traditional project management, using different methodologies like Scrum or agile. The duration of our projects is variable, from a few months to several years. Project sizes also vary between 2-10 consultants. Our range of technologies in use is extensive and we always seek to use the best modern tech. In Solita, you will be part of a team that is courageous and passionate, but at the same time easy-going and caring. Want examples? Sure, here you go: https://www.solita.fi/en/customers/

We are developing solutions for both private and public sector customers, therefore giving a positive impact to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. We don’t have customers from any specific business area, as we concentrate on having varied projects that are meaningful. This can mean that we have an impact on how we help users find more convenient routes, we get to use the newest technologies or we handle a global pandemic. Solita's projects are a combination of development, data, cloud, and service design. The diversity of our projects also gives opportunities for continuous learning and rotation. Our aim is to always find the best person for the right project, and make sure it’s a two-way match.

Together with colleagues from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and Germany, you will be creating superior online services for our international customers.
