This position gives you the opportunity to take the next big step in your career. As a staffing company MultiMind is truly proud to collaborate with our client.

 

About your next position We are looking for an inspiring and stable leader with a passion for implementing changes in way of working.

In our Delivery area, BO Plan at the BOPO Division, we are currently about 140 people, supporting the Buying functions with the specific IT solutions required for those specific business processes. We are currently divided across a handful of teams, who are each responsible for a set of applications. Most of the teams have part of their resources in India and part in Stockholm.

During next year many of our teams will increase their cooperation with our offshore vendor. To support this, a Way Of Working (WoW) has been created. It's called the BOPO OT WoW (OT being short for Out Tasking, i.e. buying a service or a result from a supplier rather than time & material).

This is a big change for our teams so we want to support them by having a project manager to drive the implementation of this new WoW. A WoW coach really.

Since we already have a WoW that we want to implement, the focus will be to make the change happen in the teams with the support from our delivery leaders. To do this you will need to work closely with our teams to understand their current WoW and help them change that to the new WoW. You will also collect input and ideas for improvements of the WoW from the teams and present them for decision.

Examples of included Work tasks

The following specification of work tasks is not an exhaustive set of tasks that could be relevant during this assignment, other tasks will be added if needed to achieve the goals.

Implement the BOPO OT WoW, incl participation in daily activities in the teams as support and for follow-up and verification that we are indeed adapting to the new WoW in a good way.
Understand other relevant processes and ways of working (change routines etc) to help the teams understand how the different processes and WoW's interact
Set up close cooperation with each team in their daily routines i.e. stand up, CR start up meetings.
Secure an efficient transition to minimize our capacity drop when changing the WoW our executing teams.
Rolling out a set of SLA's and KPI:s where your role is to support our teams in not just implementing the SLA's and KPI:s but also help our delivery leaders to understand, analyse and improve way of working based on the KPI:s.
