Senior Project Manager

At ELCA Advisory, a part of the ELCA Group, our mission is to accelerate Switzerland’s digital transformation.  We collaborate with market-shaping clients in Switzerland’s most important sectors to envision and jointly create their future in the digital age, combining in-depth industry-focused business and IT-consulting with professional services capabilities, helping our clients move forward with a proven and pragmatic approach, tailored to their situation.

We are uncompromisingly independent in our advice and, when truly beneficial for our clients, collaborate deeply with our ELCA Group and ecosystem partners to accelerate and ensure transformational impact. ELCA Group is the leading independent Swiss partner for digital transformation and technology, with comprehensive expertise at the forefront of technology and world-class implementation and innovation capabilities that go well beyond advice, built over more than 55 years.
