Project Manager (Assignment Manager)

Project overview

For our client, the Swedish Police Authority, we are looking for a consultant for the assignment below:

Assignment Description:

The Swedish Police Authority is facing the introduction of new fixed and mobile operator services and is seeking two senior Assignment Managers with documented experience in leading similar implementation and migration projects in large and complex organizations.

The assignment involves planning, leading, and coordinating the transition from existing operator services to new services with a new operator. The work includes the migration of existing fixed and mobile telephony services.

The assignment requires close collaboration with the authority's internal operations, IT functions, and other relevant stakeholders to implement the transition to the new operator with minimal impact on daily operations and without interruption to critical functions.

The Assignment Managers are expected to drive the implementation from planning to execution and handover to operations. They must ensure progress, coordination, and follow-up of activities, as well as manage risks, dependencies, and any deviations throughout the implementation period.

The Assignment Managers must be able to communicate technically complex changes clearly and pedagogically to both technical specialists and business representatives and end-users.

Responsibilities

The assignment will be conducted at the authority's premises in Kungsholmen, Stockholm. In connection with the start of the migration in each region, some domestic travel may be required. As a baseline, the need is estimated at a maximum of 10 trips during the entire migration project, with each trip typically lasting 1-2 days.

• Project Management and Governance: Responsible for timeline, budget, risk management, and status reporting to the product owner.
• Operator Contact: Act as the primary operational contact point with the selected operator during the implementation phase.
• Number Porting: Coordinate the porting of all fixed and mobile numbers (including main numbers, service numbers, and IVR structures).
• SIM Card Management: Logistics and distribution of new physical SIM cards and eSIMs to all users.
• Infrastructure & MDM: Configuration of settings in the organization's Mobile Device Management (MDM) system and ensuring coverage (indoor/outdoor) at key offices.
• Training & Communication: Development of quick guides, training materials, and change communication for employees.
