Description
Graduate, Product Creation Project Management - Border Management
The core of Product Creation is to create a product that addresses a market need which a customer is willing to pay for. The product creation process is centred around taking this idea and following the journey to create a fully scaled, supportable and profitable product. It’s an exciting evolution but one that requires strong project management during each stage of the process. As a Graduate within the Product Creation Project Management team, you will be immersed into this world to get a deeper understanding of how products are created within SITA. You will assist the Lead Product Creation Project Manager and the team with a wide variety of tasks, some of which may be clerical initially until your knowledge grows and you can take on mini projects within the team.
As a Graduate with the product creation team, you will be expected to attend internal team meetings/ project calls and be asked to take minutes, which will give you the opportunity to learn how the Borders Portfolio works and gain better insight into the products that we create. The successful candidate will be reporting to the Lead Project Manager with the Product creation team in Borders - the part of SITA tasked with protecting the passenger journey and securing national borders.
Are you ready to be part of the future?
