Project Manager

The Project Manager – Ireland will be a key member of the developing Geely Ireland organisation, playing a hands-on role in establishing the business, preparing for market launch and supporting its subsequent growth.

Reporting to the Operations Manager – Ireland, the Project Manager will coordinate and drive delivery of cross-functional projects across the Irish business, initially with a major focus on the Ireland market-entry and launch programme.

The role will take day-to-day responsibility for coordinating the Ireland Subsidiary Project Management Plan, ensuring activities are clearly defined, appropriately owned and delivered against agreed milestones. The Project Manager will connect workstreams across Ireland, Geely Auto UK and Geely Headquarters, maintaining visibility of progress, dependencies, risks and actions.

Main Responsibilities

• Coordinate and drive delivery of the Ireland market-entry and launch programme, working across all relevant business functions.

• Manage and maintain the Ireland Subsidiary Project Management Plan, ensuring activities, milestones, owners and dependencies remain accurate and current.

• Work proactively with individual workstream owners to ensure actions progress and agreed commitments are delivered.

• Coordinate dependencies across Sales, Network Development, Marketing, Product, Finance, Legal, HR, IT, Logistics, Aftersales, Customer Experience and other functions.

• Establish effective project disciplines including milestone tracking, action logs, risk and issue management, decision tracking and regular progress reviews.

• Produce clear, concise project dashboards, launch timelines and management updates from the detailed project plan.

• Support the Operations Manager and Country Manager with project reviews, management reporting and preparation for key project decisions.

• Coordinate launch-readiness reviews and ensure outstanding actions are clearly identified, owned and closed.

• Support specific operational and commercial projects outside the core launch programme as required.

• As the business transitions from establishment into normal operations, support continuous improvement and other strategic cross-functional projects across Geely Ireland.
