This position is based in Norway and is ideal for a motivated individual who enjoys turning ambiguous, high‑impact ideas into structured programs. You will work closely with senior program managers, product managers, engineers, and data analysts to drive innovation pipelines from ideation through execution.

• Opportunity Identification: Analyze portfolio data to surface trends, gaps, and high‑impact opportunities that could drive greater member engagement and revenue growth.
• Program Tracking & Reporting: Maintain detailed program artifacts, including roadmaps, milestones, deliverables, risk registers, and status communications for senior leadership.
• Risk & Issue Management: Anticipate potential roadblocks, develop mitigation strategies, and keep stakeholders informed of changes to scope, schedule, or resources.
• Resource Optimization: Assist in budgeting and resource allocation to maximize the efficiency and impact of each program.
• Feedback & Continuous Improvement: Provide candid, constructive feedback to teams and champion a culture of learning and iterative improvement.

Essential Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience in program or project management within a product‑focused environment.
• Demonstrated ability to break down complex, ambiguous problems into clear, actionable plans.
• Strong understanding of product development lifecycles, especially in fast‑moving, technology‑driven organizations.
• Proven track record of influencing cross‑functional teams and securing stakeholder buy‑in.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
• Fluency in English; proficiency in Norwegian is a plus.
• Alignment with arenaflex’s cultural values: curiosity, courage, inclusion, and a passion for delivering member‑centric outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in a global streaming or entertainment company.
• Familiarity with Agile and Scrum methodologies, including tools such as JIRA, Confluence, or similar.
• Background in data‑driven decision making, A/B testing, and product analytics.
• Exposure to financial planning, budgeting, and cost‑benefit analysis for large‑scale programs.
• Certification in Project Management (PMP, PRINCE2) or Agile (CSM, SAFe).

Core Skills & Competencies

• Analytical Thinking: Ability to synthesize large amounts of data, identify patterns, and translate insights into strategic actions.
• Leadership Presence: Even without direct authority, you can motivate teams, drive consensus, and keep projects moving forward.
• Adaptability: Thrive in a fast‑paced environment where priorities shift quickly and ambiguity is the norm.
• Detail Orientation: Meticulous in tracking program artifacts, timelines, and deliverables.
• Collaboration: Comfortable working across cultures, disciplines, and time zones.
