12-month fixed term contract, with potential for permanent

About the role

We are looking for a Project Manager to join the Delivery team and take ownership of a varied portfolio of business and technology initiatives.

This is a hands-on role where you will manage multiple projects at the same time, working closely with business stakeholders, technology teams, vendors and subject matter experts to bring structure, maintain momentum and deliver outcomes.

The role also offers the opportunity to contribute beyond individual projects. The organisation is continuing to mature its project management practices, so you will have the chance to help develop and modernise frameworks, governance, tools and ways of working, as well as coach stakeholders who may have less experience with formal project delivery.

You will work across a varied mix of initiatives, including technology implementations, process improvement, operational change and business transformation. The role will suit someone who enjoys variety, is comfortable working across different delivery styles and can balance getting projects delivered with helping improve how the organisation delivers change.

• Experience working across business, operational and technology environments
• Exposure to agile, waterfall and hybrid delivery approaches
• Experience developing, improving or implementing PMO frameworks, governance, tools or delivery standards
• Experience with project risk frameworks, benefits management, delivery reporting or similar PMO disciplines
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to manage upwards and provide clear visibility to senior stakeholders
• Comfortable working with stakeholders with varying levels of project management experience, including coaching and guiding less experienced teams
• Pragmatic and collaborative approach to holding stakeholders accountable and keeping delivery on track
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to work independently and manage competing priorities
• Comfortable operating in an environment where project management practices are still developing and able to see this as an opportunity to improve delivery maturity
