Technical Project Manager

Job Description

We are calling you, a seasoned technical project leader who wants to create the most visible B2C projects in the Finnish and Swedish markets. That something you’ve been looking for? If so, this is for you!

But first, a quick word about Qvik: we are elbow-deep in the consultancy business, but above all in the people business. We create digital solutions for millions of end users every day by doing design, development and consultation with our clients. And not just any clients, but the most desirable ones in the consumer market – such as Oura , Säästöpankki , Terveystalo , and Sanoma , just to name a few.

Our international community consists of 110+ designers, developers and consultants based in Helsinki and Stockholm. We've been rocking the industry for 14+ years. We are not your typical top-down corporation but an inclusive work community where individuals can affect how we roll. We are 100% owned by our people, the Qvikies.

The role and who are we looking for:

In short, our technical project leaders fit business initiatives to technical solutions. In this role, the variety in your day comes from the customer's business goals and needs. It could mean defining architecture requirements and doing some coding, helping POs refine their backlogs, leading cross-functional project teams or building technical roadmaps for customers.

The best combination of skills and experience to get things running smoothly would be:

• a technical background with expertise in different kinds of software projects,

• project management skills with the ability to lead cross-functional teams,

• practical knowledge of agile tools and methodologies,

• an analytical and business-focused mindset for building long-term solutions, and

• ability to communicate fluently in Finnish alongside English

But we aren't looking for a unicorn here! Realistically, your most vital skills are found in designing software architectures with modern technologies and leading projects, spiced up with a curious mind eager to learn more. We are looking for a professional who can see the big picture and prioritize and focus on executing the essential – leading project success from the initial sprints to actual deliverables. Your experience also shows in managing expectations about project timelines.

In addition to customer work, you'll also be an important support person for bringing technical understanding to our pre-sales and payment solution consulting people.

The people you work with will be from different backgrounds and have different strengths. This means that we cherish a culture of open-mindedness, equality and empathy toward all people. At the moment, we are reinventing our DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) practices on the company level to make Qvik the best place to work for everyone – but there's always more work to be done, and we hope that you want to be a part of it.

Our offer

We want to care more. We are focusing on creating an even more inspiring and safe culture, learning by doing, deepening our professionalism, and building an even stronger community.

The salary for this position will be somewhere between €5,500–6,500/month + bonuses , depending on your skills and experience, and you will have the possibility to become a Qvik shareholder.

Our standard benefits package is also pretty nice: lunch, commuter, culture and sports benefits, and a bike benefit. Obviously, we provide you with the tools of your choice. We also offer occupational health care with extra health insurance, travel and accident insurance, a remote office from January to March (in 2023, Mauritius & the Canary Islands) and many company-supported sports and hobby opportunities with other Qvikies.

Supporting the Qvikies' health and work-life balance is essential for us. We offer a sick-child care service for smoother sailing over the flu season, as well as personal support for life challenges via the Auntie service. And don't forget the community glue, aka parties – we are pretty good at setting up some jams, too :)

In addition, we offer a low-hierarchy culture, flexible working hours, plenty of projects with opportunities for growth, learning, and so much more.

OK, what next?
