Three Bridges Recruitment is delighted to partner with a leading charity to appoint an Implementation Project Manager on a 2-year fixed-term basis. The organisation is embarking on a major Business Improvement Programme, replacing ageing legacy systems with a modern, integrated SaaS platform covering HR, Payroll, and Finance. Reporting directly to the Finance Director and acting as the organisation’s dedicated implementation lead, you will own the delivery of this multi-phased transformation. Working in tandem with an external implementation partner, you will ensure a seamless, controlled go-live that safeguards frontline delivery and business-as-usual operations. Why Work Here? Meaningful Social Purpose: Lead a flagship project that underpins essential services supporting individuals across Scotland. Flexibility: Hybrid working model with 3 days in the Edinburgh office (you choose the days) alongside a flexible working framework (core hours 10:00–12:00 & 14:00–16:00, with flexible bandwidth from 07:30 to 18:30). Project Longevity: A rare 2-year fixed-term programme offering stability, continuity, and significant strategic visibility at Executive and Board level. Job Supplier & Partner Oversight: Direct and manage the external implementation partner and software vendor against agreed Statement of Work (SOW), scope, deliverables, and milestones. Data Migration: Devise and own the data migration strategy across HR, payroll, and finance—driving data cleansing, extraction, mapping, trial runs, opening balance reconciliations, and formal business sign-offs. Testing & Quality Assurance: Lead the end-to-end test strategy (System, Integration, and UAT). Own parallel payroll running to statutory reconciliation standard before cutover approval. Design & Scope Governance: Run the Design Authority to ensure configuration directly traces back to contracted requirements, firmly holding the line against out-of-scope customisation. Implementation & Cutover Planning: Maintain critical-path timelines, integrate cutover rehearsal plans, lead go/no-go readiness reviews, and execute business continuity planning.
