This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has built their career within software development, software delivery or a software house environment and is looking to take ownership of customer-facing implementation projects.

You may have started your career with an IT, Computer Science or Software Development degree before moving into Project Management, or have gained your experience through hands-on software delivery.

The Role

As Project Manager, you'll manage software implementation projects from initial planning through to deployment, configuration and successful customer rollout. Working closely with both technical teams and clients, you'll ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope and to a high standard.

This is a varied role combining project management, client engagement, software delivery and implementation, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both the technical and commercial aspects of project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage project timelines, risks, budgets and resource planning.
• Provide regular project updates and communicate progress with customers and senior stakeholders.
• Support software configuration, implementation and go-live activities.
• Ensure successful customer adoption through effective planning, communication and training where required.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and reporting.
• Build strong long-term customer relationships and deliver an exceptional client experience.
• Identify opportunities to improve project delivery processes and ways of working.

• Around 3+ years' Project Management experience within software delivery, software implementation or technology environments.
• Experience working across the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
• A background within a software house, SaaS business, technology company or software development environment would be highly desirable.
• Excellent stakeholder management and customer-facing communication skills.
• Strong planning and organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Experience delivering software implementations, deployments or system rollouts.
• A proactive approach with excellent problem-solving skills.
• Confidence working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A degree in IT, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous.
• PRINCE2, Agile or other Project Management qualifications would be beneficial but are not essential.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
