An exciting opportunity has arisen for a versatile Project Manager to join a fast-paced organisation on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with an immediate start.
This is a broad, generalist role suited to someone who enjoys working across multiple business areas, managing varied priorities and bringing structure to a diverse change portfolio.
You will work with a wide range of stakeholders across Finance, HR, Operations, IT and the wider leadership team, with national travel expected as part of the role.
The Role
As Project Manager, you will support the delivery of a varied portfolio of business change initiatives, working across multiple functions and with stakeholders at different levels of the organisation.
This is not a narrowly focused project role.
You will be expected to move comfortably between planning, governance, reporting, stakeholder engagement, risk management and delivery support, adapting your approach to suit the needs of each project and business area.
Key responsibilities will include
- Managing and coordinating a range of cross-functional projects and change initiatives.
- Working with multiple stakeholders, including senior leaders, project sponsors, workstream leads and third-party providers.
- Travelling nationally to support projects, stakeholder meetings and business activity.
- Establishing clear project plans, milestones, responsibilities and delivery timelines.
- Supporting effective project governance, controls and reporting.
- Producing portfolio updates, dashboards and senior stakeholder communications.
- Managing RAID logs, dependencies, risks, issues and change control.
- Supporting project prioritisation, business cases, benefits tracking and outcome measurement.
- Coordinating project meetings, actions, decisions and escalation points.
- Supporting IT change coordination, transition planning and relevant approval processes.
- Bringing consistency to project tools, processes, documentation and ways of working.
- Providing constructive challenge, assurance and practical delivery support.
- Helping to improve change capability and project management maturity across the organisation.
About You
We are looking for a commercially aware and adaptable Project Manager who enjoys operating in a generalist capacity and working with a broad range of stakeholders.
You will ideally have
- Experience managing projects, programmes, portfolios or PMO activity in a complex organisation in building supplies, or retail would be a big advantage.
- Experience working across multiple business functions and stakeholder groups.
- Strong understanding of both waterfall and agile delivery approaches.
- Experience with project governance, planning, reporting and delivery controls.
- Confidence managing risks, issues, dependencies and competing priorities.
- Experience supporting business cases, benefits tracking and project prioritisation.
- Excellent communication, presentation, facilitation and stakeholder management skills.
- The ability to influence without direct authority and build strong working relationships.
- A pragmatic, organised and solutions-focused approach.
- Strong attention to detail, combined with the ability to see the wider business picture.
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office; experience with Share Point would be advantageous.
- Willingness and ability to undertake national travel as required.
- A formal project or programme management qualification is desirable, although relevant practical experience will also be considered.
What's on Offer?
- 12-month fixed-term contract
- Immediate start
- A varied, generalist role with exposure to multiple business functions.
- The opportunity to work with a broad range of stakeholders across the organisation.
- National travel and exposure to business activity across multiple locations.
