Senior Project Manager
Are you a dynamic and strategic Project Manager looking to make an impact in a fast-paced consultancy environment?
Our client, a specialist boutique technology consultancy, is looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead and oversee key implementation and transformation projects spanning EPM (Oracle Financials) and CRM (Salesforce / Creatio).
About the Role
This is a newly created role that will see you work alongside the Consultant teams to manage overall project delivery. Currently, Principal Consultants oversee project management responsibilities, but with continued growth, there is a need for a dedicated project leader to own the full delivery lifecycle.
You will get the chance to test your skills across projects ranging in size and complexity. Day-to-day you will be responsible for:
1. Leading project delivery across multiple engagements, ensuring timely and successful outcomes
2. Managing project plans and budgets
3. Providing clear customer updates and managing stakeholder expectations
4. Understanding business value beyond just implementing systems – identifying the problem, the benefits, and the long-term impact
5. Identifying opportunities for business growth and further engagements with clients
Who We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate will be an experienced and passionate Project Manager with a strong background in project delivery and leadership. You will be a confident communicator who can ‘talk the talk’ when it comes to EPM and/or CRM solutions, without needing to be hands-on technical. Key attributes include:
1. Proven experience leading successful technology/enterprise application projects
2. Strong understanding of the full end-to-end project delivery lifecycle
3. Ability to communicate effectively with customers, build strong relationships and manage expectations
4. Knowledge of Agile, Waterfall, and other methodologies (you will need to be flexible in your approach)
5. Commercial acumen – ability to spot growth opportunities and deliver high client satisfaction
This client is open to candidates from different backgrounds. You may be working in Professional Services/Consultancy, have worked as a Consultant in the past and moved into project leadership. You will focus on project oversight rather than hands-on technical work but will still have a strong BA-style skillset with excellent stakeholder engagement skills. Or you could be working in a Project or Delivery Leadership role in an End-User environment, managing large-scale projects delivered by third-party consultancies.
Why Join?
1. Exciting opportunity to shape a brand-new role in a growing boutique consultancy
2. Work on high-value, impactful projects for clients in a range of industries, including financial services, media and not-for-profit
3. Competitive salary of £70k-£80k plus bonus, and benefits package which includes up to 5% matched pension, medical, phone and 25 days holiday
4. Hybrid working model (1-2 days in the office)
