Rana M. Talent Acquisition Partner

Hi Romana, thank you for connecting with me on the Insider platform, and I am glad to hear you are interested in pursuing potential Project Manager opportunities with us!

Firstly, I’d recommend keeping an eye on our Nokia Careers page (https://jobs.nokia.com/en/sites/CX_1) and looking at roles with titles such as Project Manager, Customer Project Manager, Program Manager, or similar project delivery positions.

From the roles we typically recruit for, having project management experience is important, but equally some positions also look for experience within a relevant technology or telecom environment. For example, it include areas such as IP/Optical Networks, Fixed Networks, Core Networks, 4G/5G, or cloud.

Experience managing customers/stakeholders, cross-functional teams, budgets, timelines, risks and overall project delivery is also very relevant. Certifications such as PMP can be beneficial, although they are not necessarily a requirement for every opportunity. 

I’d suggest reviewing the Project Manager opportunities that come up and comparing your experience against the requirements. Even if you haven’t worked specifically as a Project Manager or within telecom, don’t let that stop you from applying. Think about the transferable skills you already have, such as coordinating projects, managing stakeholders, solving problems, working across teams and delivering against timelines. If those align well with the role, they can still make your experience very relevant.

I hope that helps, and I am here if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Rana
