Programme Manager

• Creative Thinking: Provide guidance and technical oversight to development teams working on V2X technologies. Apply a balanced and practical approach, drawing on an engineering mindset, to help shape the right solution

• Understanding of the technical and regulatory V2X landscape
• Good organisational, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Undergraduate degree in Engineering, ideally in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• Comfortable using project management tools, such as Asana
