Your Role in Keeping the Future in Safe Hands…

As the Business Program Manager for Traka Americas, you will play a critical role in helping the organization translate strategic priorities into sustained business outcomes. This role is not about managing individual projects in isolation — it is about coordinating, influencing, and enabling change across multiple initiatives, teams, and geographies.
Reporting to the President of Traka Americas, you will work closely with a cross-functional Change Committee representing all major areas of the business. Your role is to help the organization stay focused on the priorities that matter most, ensure initiatives are aligned and moving forward, and step in to support execution where gaps or dependencies exist.
You will operate primarily through influence, collaboration, and structure, partnering across Traka Americas and with global KAM or ASSA ABLOY stakeholders where applicable to ensure change is understood, adopted, and delivering intended value to the business and our customers.
Why This Role Matters…
This role exists to help Traka move faster, stay aligned, and deliver meaningful results - not by adding layers, but by connecting people, priorities, and execution. The Business Program Manager will act as a force multiplier for the business, helping ensure that change efforts translate into real, sustained impact.
