About the Role
Fast-growing business seeking an immediate, highly experienced PMO Specialist / Project Manager to take complete ownership of their project delivery function. They do not have project management expertise in-house. Therefore, they need an autonomous, highly capable self-starter who can hit the ground running on Day 1. You will be expected to audit the current setup, select and integrate a project management SaaS tool with their CRM (Pipedrive), and establish processes to scale the execution capacity rapidly.
Key Responsibilities
- Project Planning & Execution: Take control of the 8 live delivery projects, review or build project plans, define scope, and ensure on-time execution.
- CRM & SaaS Integration: Evaluate, select, and implement a project management SaaS tool (e.g., Projects by Pipedrive, Asana, Monday.com) that integrates seamlessly with existing Pipedrive CRM to automate the transition from sales to delivery.
- Resource Management: Map out team capacity and allocate personnel, budgets, and tools to handle both current workloads and the upcoming wave of 18 new projects.
- Monitoring, Risk & Quality Assurance: Track project performance, build risk registers to mitigate bottlenecks, and ensure all deliverables meet strict quality standards.
- Communication & Documentation: Establish clear reporting lines, run progress meetings, and build standardised project documentation (status reports, project charters, records).
- Process Improvement & Training: Design and introduce scalable project management processes and provide light mentoring/support to team members navigating the new workflows.
Required Experience & Qualifications
- Minimum 5 years of proven experience held within a dedicated PMO or Project Management role.
- PRINCE2 Practitioner or an equivalent recognised project management qualification (e.g., PMP, APM).
- Strong technical literacy with direct experience setting up project management SaaS tools and linking them to CRMs (specifically Pipedrive).
- A true self-starter, comfortable entering an environment with no existing PM infrastructure and leading the business forward without hand-holding.
- Proven track record of managing multiple concurrent projects (multi-project portfolios) in high-growth environments.
