Job Description

A really interesting temp opportunity has come through to join a public sector organisation on a key digital transformation programme.

This role will focus on reviewing and improving how core systems are delivered and used across the organisation – helping shape whether future solutions are built internally, bought externally, or a combination of both.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading a transformation project from early-stage planning through to delivery
• Putting clear project plans, governance, and structure in place
• Coordinating across teams to keep things moving forward
• Managing risks, timelines, and key decisions
• Supporting workshops and stakeholder discussions
• Producing clear updates for senior stakeholders

What we’re looking for

• Strong project management experience within change or digital environments
• Experience working on system or technology-related projects
• Confident setting up governance, plans, and processes from scratch
• Able to work with a wide range of stakeholders and bring clarity to complex work
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving environment

Helpful (but not essential)

• Experience in public sector or regulated environments
• Exposure to system selection, implementation, or SaaS solutions
• Understanding of Agile or similar delivery approaches

Why this role?
