The Role

The Senior Project Manager will lead the delivery of a range of projects across the full project lifecycle. These projects will be varied in nature, size and complexity, covering everything from the implementation of products and services for new and current customers (growth projects), through to internal business change work, and everything in between.

The scope of work may include pre-initiation activities (such as preparation of business cases and tasks related to the winning of new and follow-on business) as well as post-closure activities. In addition, whilst project allocations are aligned to the Project Manager’s subject / domain expertise where possible, the postholder will need to be ready to manage any of the exciting projects in the portfolio. Finally, there will be times when the postholder will need to “roll up their sleeves” to do some of the work themselves, when doing so is the best option.
