Agile Project Manager

About this Position

Join Henkel’s Digital organization and take ownership of the operational delivery of the sales analytics and data platform that powers steering, reporting, and decision making across Henkel’s business units. This is a delivery-focused, project-management role. You will operate within an agile environment and use Azure DevOps as the backbone for planning and tracking, but your core mandate is end-to-end project execution: milestones, dependencies, risks, budget awareness, stakeholder alignment, and leadership reporting.

What you´ll do

• Act as the Project Manager for the data platform, driving delivery planning, governance, and reporting across a connected portfolio of sales analytics dashboards and data products delivered across multiple business units.
• Work closely with the Product Owner, a cross-functional team of frontend, backend, and data engineers, and business stakeholders.
• Keep roadmaps on track, make delivery transparent, and ensure the right topics reach the right people at the right time.
• Own the operational delivery of the product portfolio, maintaining delivery roadmaps, release plans, and milestone tracking across a connected set of sales analytics dashboards.
• Establish and run project governance: maintain risk, issue, dependency, decision, and action logs, and drive escalation management where delivery is at risk.
• Coordinate delivery across cross-functional teams (frontend, backend, data engineering) and business stakeholders across multiple business units to ensure alignment, clear priorities, and timely execution.
• Plan and steer major workstreams end to end – such as multi-business-unit dashboard rollouts and platform or data migrations – including scope definition, planning, and readiness tracking.
• Drive delivery transparency through meaningful metrics, dashboards, and status reporting, leveraging Azure DevOps Analytics and Power BI.
• Prepare and align project updates, leadership presentations, steering committee materials, and sprint review reporting covering progress, milestones, risks, and dependencies.
• Act as the central point of coordination between the delivery team, stakeholders, and leadership – ensuring smooth communication, follow-up on open topics, and clear ownership of decisions.

What makes you a good fit

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
• Several years of experience in program management area, PMO, project management, agile delivery, or a similar role
• Understanding of Agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Lean, or DevOps
• Experience working in complex, cross-functional, and international environments
• Proven track record of delivering data, analytics, or business intelligence products, with working knowledge of Databricks.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills combined with a structured and pragmatic approach
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders
• Excellent facilitation, stakeholder management, and collaboration skills
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex topics into clear and actionable messages
• Proven ability to manage roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder communication across multiple parallel workstreams
• Comfortable working with performance metrics, budgeting processes, reporting, and governance activities
• Curiosity for digital technologies and a passion for improving how teams and organizations deliver value

Nice to have

• Experience in Agile PMO, Program Management, Release Train Engineering (RTE), or large-scale digital transformation programs
• Relevant certifications such as Scrum Master, SAFe, PMI, PRINCE2, or Agile coaching qualifications is a plus
• Experience working with external vendors and supplier management processes
