Are you ready to apply your engineering, project leadership and sourcing expertise to the world of product development and manufacturing? Join us as Senior Project Manager in Design for Value (DfV) and impact the way we design, develop, and manufacture products at GN Hearing in Ballerup.

In this role, you will collaborate with internal and external stakeholders worldwide, ensuring value and cost are managed effectively and optimized in our products from the early concept phase through to mass production.

Your contribution is appreciated and you will:

  • Optimize products by supporting the organization with cost / value analysis in our products, modules, platforms and architecture
  • Investigate and motivate for cost-effective design and manufacturability, e.g. via mapping of value / cost opportunities related to roadmap, product, and design options
  • Manage cost targets and running estimate for ramp up in development projects

To perform well in the role, we imagine that you - besides having a technical mindset and a good business understanding - have:

  • A degree or similar within engineering, preferably within electronics

  • Good at solving both technical and commercial issues
  • General understanding of manufacturing processes and industrialization
  • Experience with LEAN, Design for Value/Cost, or supplier sourcing in Asia, are positive differentiators
  • Presentation, negotiation, and communication skills in English, both written and spoken

In addition, you have an engaging personality and possess facilitation skills, enabling you to build networks and engage stakeholders. You also possess solid analytical and problem-solving abilities, which you use to identify issues and propose effective solutions.

You are, furthermore, steadfast and enjoy working in a multicultural, changing environment. You take initiative and, most importantly, follow through on the initiatives you start.

We offer:

  • A unique opportunity to grow and gain experience across both engineering and business
  • A supportive and dynamic work environment where you can learn to navigate change with confidence

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
