Job Description

CareerFinders, on behalf of our client, a specialist Research & Development company with expanding operations in Cyprus, we are seeking to recruit a Senior Project Manager to join their growing team based in the heart of Nicosia. The successful applicant will own the full lifecycle of complex, multi-disciplinary projects, from requirements definition and planning through execution, delivery, and successful handover within the customer’s environment. Our client is seeking applicants who are educated to degree level in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering field, who possess at least 5+ years managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects end to end, including R&D (HW and/or SW) deliveries. Proven experience delivering large-scale development projects on schedule and within budget is essential, along with a deep working knowledge of RF and/or mobile telephony technology considered a plus. An attractive remuneration and benefits package is on offer based on skills and experience, which includes a 13th salary, medical insurance, provident fund, yearly bonus, and hybrid working options.

Key Duties/Responsibilities: 

• Own the end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent projects across the full lifecycle — scoping, planning, execution, monitoring, and closing — for both internal product development and customer-facing turnkey programs.
• Define project scope, objectives, and technical feasibility together with all relevant internal departments, and translate them into a realistic, resource-loaded work plan.
• Lead execution across a strong matrix organization — R&D (HW & SW), Product Management, QA, Integration, Operations, and Logistics — keeping every stakeholder aligned on requirements, schedule, and budget.
• Drive HW and SW R&D through every phase: scoping, planning, task and milestone tracking, testing, and handover to production.
• Take full responsibility for delivering on time, to quality and technical specification, and within the agreed budget.
• Own delivery risk end to end — identify, communicate, and drive mitigation and contingency plans before issues become delays; escalate decisively when needed.
• Establish and run clear communication plans; report progress, metrics (quality, performance, capacity/load), and risks to management and customers.
• Lead the creation of project documentation — SOW, technical characterization, user manuals, training materials — and manage CRM data throughout the project.
• Direct and guide cross-functional teams throughout the process, facilitating debate and driving timely decisions on the right solutions.
• Secure customer acceptance of deliverables, and run post-project evaluations to capture what worked and what to improve.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal stakeholders, key partners, and customers.
• Mentor and elevate project management practice across the organization, leading the rollout of new processes and tools.

Key Skills/Experience: 

• B.Sc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering field.
• 5+ years managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects end to end, including R&D (HW and/or SW) deliveries.
• Proven experience delivering large-scale development projects on schedule and within budget.
• Deep working knowledge of RF technology will be considered an advantage.
• Demonstrated success operating in a matrix environment and leading cross-departmental processes.
• Strong command of project management methodology and tools — risk management, Gantt/scheduling, MS Project, Excel, Visio, Word, PowerPoint.
• Excellent interpersonal, facilitation, and communication skills; able to drive decisions and align diverse stakeholders.
• Highly structured, detail-oriented, and able to prioritize and execute across many parallel tasks.
• Ability to hold both a wide system view and dive into high- and low-level technical detail.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Availability to travel internationally.

Nice to Have: 

• Master's degree in Business Administration or Systems Engineering.
• PMP or equivalent project management certification.
• CRM experience.

Key Benefits: 

• Attractive salary based on skills and experience.
• 13th Salary.
• Yearly Bonus.
• Medical Insurance.
• Provident Fund.
• Hybrid working options.
