Lead change that lasts

At Mölnlycke, we believe that real impact starts with people.

People who are bold enough to challenge the status quo.

People who care deeply for their work, their colleagues, and the world around them.

People who know exactly why they do what they do.

As a global medical solutions company, we design and deliver innovative products and services across wound care, operating room solutions, gloves, and antiseptics. Our mission is to advance performance in healthcare by supporting professionals, improving outcomes, and making a difference where it matters most.

As part of our newly established Global PMO, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how we execute strategy across the organization.

This role is a true lighthouse position within the PMO. We're looking for an experienced project leader who can set the benchmark for project excellence, bring fresh external perspectives, and help establish the standards, behaviours, and ways of working that will define our PMO for years to come.

Here's how you'll make an impact in this role:

• Lead complex, cross-functional global projects and programs that are critical to Mölnlycke's strategic priorities.
• Drive initiatives across new product development, innovation, business transformation, and M&A integration.
• Translate strategy into executable plans and deliver measurable business value.
• Build alignment across global stakeholders including R&D, Marketing, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Commercial and Operations teams.
• Apply Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid delivery approaches depending on business needs and project context.
• Drive governance, decision-making, risk management, and benefit realization throughout the project lifecycle.
• Help shape and mature the newly established Global PMO, contributing to standards, methodologies, governance, and capability development.
• Act as a role model and trusted advisor, demonstrating what great project leadership looks like across the organization.
• Support knowledge sharing, mentoring, and the professionalization of project management practices at Mölnlycke.
