Funding Project Manager

Are you an experienced project manager who thrives in complex, externally funded projects and enjoys taking full ownership from kick-off to final delivery?

Do you enjoy working at the intersection of technology, funding, and international collaboration — and being the person who creates clarity, structure, and momentum in complex project environments? If so, this role offers real responsibility, visibility, and impact.

We are looking for a Funding Project Manager to lead and execute several of GomSpace’s funded projects from inception to successful completion.

Your Role
You’ll work in the Product Management department, closely collaborating with Product Owners and Product Managers to ensure that funding projects are aligned with our product roadmap and deliver learning and value across the organization.

In this role, you will lead externally funded projects involving consortium partners, funding authorities such as Innovation Fund Denmark, and space agencies like ESA. You will have full responsibility for project execution, progress reporting, financial oversight, and stakeholder management—ensuring transparency, compliance, and successful milestone delivery.

Your tasks include:

• Executing and reporting on funded projects from start to completion
• Leading and coordinating international consortiums and collaborations with funding authorities
• Managing project milestones, progress reporting, and cash flow tracking
• Ensuring accurate financial reporting and maintaining full project overview
• Managing internal and external stakeholders, including ESA, consortium partners, and funding institutions

Short- and Long-Term Success
In the initial phases , success means:

• Establishing strong ownership of assigned funding projects
• Delivering clear, timely project status and financial reporting
• Building trust and effective collaboration with internal teams, consortium partners, and funding authorities

Longer term , you’ll take ownership of:

• Leading multiple funding projects simultaneously with full accountability
• Ensuring consistent milestone achievement and proactive issue reporting
• Contributing already in the capture phase to secure smooth handover and alignment with the company roadmap

What You Bring
You’re an experienced project manager with a strong understanding of externally funded projects and complex stakeholder environments. You combine structure and persistence with flexibility and curiosity, and you are comfortable navigating uncertainty and evolving project scopes.

You likely:

• Hold a Master of Science in Engineering (e.g. M.Sc. EE or similar)
• Have 5–10 years of experience in project management, preferably including funded projects or bids
• Are confident managing project execution, reporting, and financial oversight
• Understand how to align funding activities with product and technology roadmaps
• Communicate clearly and professionally in English, both written and verbal

Who You Are
You’re not just managing projects - you create direction, transparency, and momentum. You take full ownership and remain focused even when plans change.

You bring:

• Helpfulness – you are curious, supportive, and ready to assist colleagues and partners
• Open communication – you’re transparent, proactive, and follow up consistently
• True leadership – you take ownership of outcomes and act with integrity
• Structure and clarity – you enjoy creating overview, discipline, and scalable project setups
• Human insight – you understand how project decisions impact people, teams, and long-term collaboration

You’re open-minded, goal-seeking, resilient, and able to operate in “open waters,” seeing setbacks as learning opportunities while remaining patient and persistent.
