Senior Project Manager - IT
Abingdon, Oxfordshire
To c. 60k base salary + bonus + good bens package
Our client is a highly established leader delivering a range of services to establishments in the UK and overseas. A senior PM is needed for a growing and very dynamic division within this group of companies. This division has developed transformative software to move mass paper-based processes online and it sees massive opportunities globally. This IT Project Manager role is based out of Abingdon in Oxfordshire but there will be a requirement to visit other locations in the UK from time to time and the opportunity to travel globally, for 2-3 weeks of the year. There would not be excessive in terms of time away from home.
Projects have a clear software development focus (but a strong technical team is present) and what is needed here is the addition of strong project management input and project governance. The successful candidate will be given freedom to work autonomously and make their own decisions in terms of project management. A strong commercial focus is very much needed here. This is not a technical PM role, it's very much about strong IT project management and senior level stakeholder engagement. The successful candidate will play a role in shaping the path forward in what is described as a high stakes, challenging but exciting environment. Project sizes could range from £500k to £20 million and between 6 months and 5 years!
