We are looking for an experienced project manager for demanding and large-scale projects.
We are seeking a seasoned project manager to lead our strategic and wide-ranging software development projects for both public and private sector clients. Our fixed-price or target-priced projects are often technically and organizationally complex, and we operate in multi-vendor environments.

We believe this improves the employee experience, as we can offer a project immediately when you start at Gofore.
You will have the opportunity to influence whether you join a development or reform project in, for example, healthcare, early childhood education, or the transport sector. We offer genuinely meaningful projects that impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of Finns. Examples of our clients include: Aimo Park, Metso, KEHA, and Elisa.
