Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Alfa Laval Corporate AB Full time

Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we're pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water and shipping.

As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.

About the job

We're looking for a sharp and driven Innovation Project Manager to manage cross-functional projects that bring new products and innovations to life. In this role, you'll be the engine behind the structured, timely, and high-impact execution of development projects - from early concepts to market launch.

Main responsibilities:

  • Lead cross-functional projects, including product development, product improvements, innovation initiatives, and customer-specific solutions.
  • Plan and track project timelines, deliverables, and key decision gates.
  • Facilitate project meetings and ensure alignment across Portfolio Management, R&D, Sales, and other stakeholders.
  • Identify and mitigate project risks and remove execution barriers.
  • Maintain project documentation and provide regular status updates to stakeholders.
  • Support decision-making by ensuring transparency and structured follow-up.
  • Coordinate resource needs with functional managers.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of project governance and ways of working.
  • Coach and support teams in structured and timely project execution.

The position will be based in Copenhagen, Denmark. We expect travel activity to be approximately 10-20 days a year.

What you know
To succeed in this role, you have:

  • Proven experience in managing cross-functional product or innovation projects.
  • Deep understanding of project lifecycle.
  • Strong facilitation and stakeholder management skills.
  • Clear communicator, confident decision-maker, and natural collaborator.

Who you are

You have a critical eye for improvement, consistently spotting opportunities to challenge the status quo, suggest better solutions, and implement impactful process enhancements. You're highly proactive, taking the initiative to drive projects forward without waiting for direction, and you thrive on creating momentum. You're not afraid to question challenges head-on, tackling tough conversations and situations when they lead to better outcomes and project success.
