Job Description

Business Development & Delivery (BD&D) sits within the H&M Group Strategy function and acts as the bridge between strategic intent and execution, ensuring that our company not only sets ambitious goals but achieves them efficiently through well-defined business development plans, strong processes and a win-win collaboration approach. The team in BD&D works with:  

• Translating our strategy to business development plans;  
• Lead and manage cross-functional business development programs  
• Manage the H&M Group development portfolio (programs, projects, CI);  
• Targeted strategic project support to solve company challenges with high functional interdependencies and complex scope 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

The Project Manager is a key role within the targeted strategic project support scope of the BD&D team. As we continue executing on an ambitious Business Development agenda, we need strong strategic project leadership competencies to accelerate and enable critical parts of our functional scope, translating strategy into execution and solving complex operational problems at pace. 

At its core, this role is about bridging the gap between where we want to go and how we get there. You will lead projects that enable our Business Development agenda to succeed, embed yourself into critical programs and functions, and act as a trusted partner to senior leadership. In doing so, you will build a deep understanding of H&M Group's business and gain a strong platform for continued growth within the company. 

Key responsibilities include:

Initiative Definition & Strategic Translation 

• Translate high-level strategic goals into concrete, structured Business Development initiatives that can be embedded within functions and delivered cross-functionally. 

High-Impact Project Leadership 

• Lead targeted, high-impact projects within the BD&D agenda; within a single function or across multiple from problem definition through to delivery. 
• Structure the approach from the ground up: identifying the right stakeholders, defining the problem, building the plan, and driving execution. 
• Proactively identify risks and blockers, push for resolution, and report back to BD&D leadership with clear updates and recommendations. 

Program acceleration 

• Embed directly into our critical cross-functional programs as a strategic project lead, driving momentum and ensuring delivery stays on track. 
• Lead and facilitate workshops, set and manage scope, define goals and milestones, and own stakeholder alignment across functions and leadership levels. 
• Act as the connective role between program workstreams, identifying risks and blockers early and pushing for resolution. 

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You will join a team of skilled Project Managers, working at the intersection of strategic direction and hands-on delivery. This is a role for someone who thrives on turning ambiguity into structured action, driving alignment across complex organizations, and making things happen in cross-functional environments. 

WHO YOU ARE

Success in this role requires exceptional stakeholder management and facilitation skills, the ability to structure and solve complex problems, and a talent for shaping clear, compelling messages out of abstract and nuanced material. You combine strategic thinking with strong analytical capability and a proactive mindset, taking ownership of initiatives and driving them from concept to high‑quality outcomes.

You will work closely with senior leadership and cross‑functional teams to drive prioritisation, governance and effective decision‑making, ensuring strategic goals translate into tangible results. Comfortable operating across levels, you understand differing perspectives and influence with clarity and credibility – confidently challenging senior stakeholders when needed. You thrive in an environment characterised by change and complexity and adapt your approach to create alignment and momentum.

To succeed in this role, you also have:

• ~2-4 years of experience from a top-tier strategy consulting firm with a strong track record of delivering in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. 
• Strong analytical capability, comfortable working with both quantitative and qualitative data to build a compelling case or recommendation. 
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and priorities simultaneously without dropping the ball. 
• High proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint, and Word as well as AI tools such as Claude and Copilot - able to produce senior-ready output independently and at pace.
