About the Role (your why)

The role of the Project Manager is to ensure that all Projects are delivered to the highest quality standard, within scope, in budget and on time. You will assist with Project Delivery which begins at the point of handover from the Sales team.

We have offices nationally, we like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to figure out what works best!

• Exceeding stakeholder expectations through the application of stakeholder management disciplines.

We are a pretty agile company, and are keen to respond to customer, technology and internal stakeholders’ changing requirements, which can mean we evolve in our roles to meet those needs.

What You’ll Bring:

We are seeking a resilient and adaptable team player to manage multiple mid to large-sized projects, who can bring a dynamic element to our existing professional project management capability.

You will have:

• Extensive experience working on large complex projects, preferably with a focus on largescale migration projects.
