Senior Project Manager

This is a generalist Senior PM role with genuine leadership influence — and real flexibility in how it evolves for the right person.

This is a rare contract opportunity that offers both breadth and depth — ideal for a Senior PM who thrives in complex, multi-stream environments and is comfortable shaping delivery from the front.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading procurement preparation activities — RFP development, market approach, evaluation, and vendor selection
• Onboarding and managing the preferred vendor through Discovery
• Developing detailed workstream plans, milestones, dependencies, and resource requirements
• Acting as central point of contact across technical teams, business stakeholders, and programme leadership
• Facilitating workshops, steering group updates, and cross-functional delivery rhythms
• Translating complex technical concepts into clear communications for senior executives
• Managing risks, issues, vendor deliverables, SLAs, and statements of work
• Contributing to governance reporting, benefits tracking, and assurance activities

What We're Looking For:

Technical & Professional Skills:

• Proven delivery experience across enterprise digital transformation programmes
• Strong knowledge of at least one (ideally two) of the three workstreams: data/analytics platforms, M365/digital workplace, or automation technologies (Power Automate, RPA, low-code)
• Experience with cloud environments, preferably Azure
• Agile delivery experience; familiarity with IT security, identity, compliance, and change management
• Strong commercial acumen — comfortable with SOWs and vendor/contract management

Leadership & Stakeholder Skills:

• Track record leading complex, multi-stream programmes
• Confident engaging senior stakeholders and navigating ambiguity
• Collaborative, outcome-focused, and comfortable operating with pace and pragmatism

Qualifications:

• Degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, or equivalent experience
• PMP/PRINCE2, Agile/Scrum, or ITIL certifications are an advantage

If you're a senior PM with the gravitas to lead at programme level and the hands-on delivery skills to hit the ground running, we'd love to hear from you.

You must be able to obtain a security clearance for this role.
