Senior IT Project Manager

Senior IT Project Manager

Reporting to the Head of IT you will lead technology transformation projects across the enterprise. You'll draw on your previous experience of technology change and transformation and drive projects to completion by building relationships with key stakeholders to get things done.

Projects fall into three categories:

1. Infrastructure, connectivity and international comms (including security and governance.

2. Business Systems Change and Development

3. ERP - Manufacturing Systems Implementation & Development

With sites across the world and over 1500 users, this international organisation is complex but ready to embrace significant digital transformation and change! Projects vary in size and complexity, but you will act as the lead on all IT Projects and be accountable for their success!

The ideal candidate will understand that transforming technology can often mean transforming the way users, stakeholders and organisations think. It requires breaking down boundaries and opening eyes to new horizons, possibilities and opportunities. It relies on demonstrating process improvements, cost reductions and efficiencies. It also then relies on your ability to lead projects, teams and delivery. Therefore we're looking for Project Managers that like to lead from the front, champion change and influence the direction of technology!

You'll have at least five years as an IT Project Manager and will have delivered projects across software and business systems, process change and infrastructure.

Given the variation and the scale of the project work, we're looking for someone who is happy to run projects varying in size and complexity. As this organisation is an international manufacturing company, it would be advantageous if you have worked in IT Project Management in a similar environment.

Of course, we're interested in a Project Manager who can work with a structured methodology, like Waterfall, Prince or Agile, but we also need someone who can think on their feet, be pragmatic in order to get things done! Initially, you'll also look at implementing project management standards and best practice, as the current PMO is relatively new and unstructured.

The position is close to the M1 and commutable from Derby, Nottingham, Chesterfield, Loughborough. The role would be be hybrid and the salary is up to £60,000 depending on experience.
