You will be responsible for a wide range of projects including business change, system development, delivery and implementation, taking full responsibility for the project delivery and ensuring it meets the operational and budgetary needs of the business. It will be your responsibility to identify necessary resources and negotiate with the business to secure them and you will also work with potential sponsors to develop business cases. You will act as a conduit between third-party vendors and the business to ensure system capabilities are delivered.
You will be a passionate Project Manager with an eye for delivery and getting the job done whilst maintaining the required level of governance. You will also be very comfortable handling multiple projects each at different stages of their lifecycles.
