Project Manager

Project Manager

Terumo Europe

Leuven, Belgium

Department Info

You will join the Strategic Realisation Department (SRO) at Terumo Europe, a team that supports the business with portfolio, program and project management across business units, functions and geographies.

SRO acts as a central enabler of complex projects, bringing structure, governance and alignment from the very start. Rather than owning technical content, the team ensures that projects are well-defined, properly planned, and effectively executed, while increasing visibility and decision-making for senior leadership.

You will report to the Strategic Realisation Lead.

Job Summary

As Project Manager, you are responsible for structuring, steering and enabling strategic projects in a complex, international environment.

You will lead projects end-to-end, ensuring alignment between stakeholders, clarity in planning, and discipline in execution. Projects are typically cross-functional, IT/implementation-driven and run for ~1 year or longer, often with significant budget and organisational impact.

Your added value lies in your ability to bring structure into ambiguity, facilitate collaboration, and maintain delivery momentum - without being the technical expert.
