Are you a Project Manager looking to move onto the next stage of your career? If so, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for. Our client, Kappture, is looking to recruit a Senior Project Manager to join their team.

As the Senior Project Manager for Kappture, you will be responsible for leading the successful delivery of large-scale EPOS and retail technology projects across a diverse customer base. This role owns the full project lifecycle – from pre‑sales engagement and scoping through to installation, go‑live, early‑life support, benefit realisation, and final handover into BAU.

Main functions

• Project Leadership – leading end‑to‑end delivery of EPOS and other innovative technologies, managing planning, resourcing, budgeting and risk across multiple deployments, ensuring stakeholders are clear and held to account for their obligations, and linking projects to measurable business outcomes during and after completion.
• Pre‑Sales and Customer Engagement – supporting pre‑sales activity by shaping project proposals, translating technical feasibility into customer‑friendly plans, negotiating and enforcing sub‑contractor agreements.
• Delivery and Execution – overseeing on‑site deployment and installation activities, interpreting site schematics and associated infrastructure, ensuring smooth integration with existing systems.
• Early‑Life Support and Handover – providing structured early‑life support post go‑live, working with Service Delivery and Customer Success.
• Benefits Realisation and Post‑Project – defining, measuring and tracking project benefits with customers and internal stakeholders, ensuring ROI is clear and realised.
• Governance and Continuous Improvement – embedding standardised project management methodologies and reporting templates, mentoring junior managers and co‑ordinators.
• Authority and Decision‑Making – approving detailed project plans and resource allocations, evaluating and recommending contract or scope changes, and identifying and mitigating project delays where delivery standards, risks or safety thresholds are compromised.

Required qualifications

• A proven track record of delivering EPOS, payments or retain technology projects.
• Hands‑on experience in field‑based installations, managing subcontractors and coordinating logistics.
• Experience of projects that combine retail technology deployment with civil works or enabling works, ensuring suppliers and contractors are held to account.
• Strong customer‑facing skills, capable of supporting pre‑sales and translating technical scope into delivery confidence.
• Ability to deliver across diverse site types – from convenience stores to large venues and contract catering estates.
• Competence with modern project management and collaboration tools (e.g. Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet).
• A relentless focus on scope, time, cost and quality, underpinned by benefit realisation, early‑life support and ROI tracking.
