Project Manager

Meet Sievo

We are Sievo – the leading procurement analytics SaaS company from Finland. We help the largest companies in the world, household brands like Levi’s, Kellogg’s and Mars, to generate cost savings, understand their procurement data, make data-driven decisions, reduce emissions, drive supply chain resilience, and beyond. Each year, we process spend equivalent to 2% of the global GDP. Pretty cool, right?

At the core of our success are talented people from all over the world with different backgrounds and perspectives. Our 400+ Sievonians are based across Helsinki, Chicago, Bucharest and London. Our core values are caring, exceeding, and honesty - values that make us grow bigger and better, not bigger and bitter.

About the Role

We are looking for a Project Manager to join our Professional Services team in Chicago to support the growth we're experiencing.

Our Professional Services project teams implement Sievo's solutions for our customers- building integrations to customer and third-party data sources, enriching data, and delivering world-class procurement analytics. This means working with major global customers and their transactional data, as well as third-party providers of market index, risk, sustainability, diversity, and CO2 emissions data.

In this role, you will both manage a portfolio of implementation projects and lead a team of solution consultants and data engineers. You'll set the direction, keep customers and internal stakeholders aligned on the plan, and support your team's day-to-day growth and performance.

We look for people who are passionate about data and analytics, enjoy solving complex procurement problems alongside customers, bring intellectual curiosity, and have a bias for action- while also knowing when to switch off. Join us for a front-row seat on this growth journey.
