IT Project Manager – Technology Transformation

There aren't many IT Project Management roles where thetechnology you're delivering ultimately contributes to the design, developmentand production of some of the world's most recognisable products.

I'm supporting an iconic British luxury manufacturer that'sgoing through a significant transformation of its internal technologycapability.

As part of that investment, they're looking for anexperienced IT Project Manager to take ownership of complex technology projects sitting at the intersection of IT, engineering and manufacturing.

This isn't really about being an expert in one particularsystem.

It's about being a very good Project Manager in a complextechnical environment.

The role

You’ll manage projects from initial planning through to implementation and adoption, bringing together internal technology teams, engineering stakeholders, business functions, suppliers and implementation partners.

The portfolio includes major initiatives around enterpriseplatforms, requirements management, software lifecycle management andintegrations into wider PLM and ERP environments.

Responsible for:

• Projectplanning, governance and reporting
• Managingbudgets, resources, risks and dependencies
• Leadingcross-functional technical teams
• Managingthird-party suppliers and implementation partners
• Workingwith senior stakeholders across IT, Engineering and Manufacturing
• Coordinatingcomplex systems and platform integrations
• Supportingbusiness process and organisational change
• Ensuringnew technology is successfully adopted and embedded

There's no direct line management responsibility, but you'llbe expected to lead and coordinate internal teams, contractors and externalsuppliers and independently drive delivery forward.

The requirement

You don't necessarily need to have worked in automotive.

You do need experience delivering complex IT projects in an environment where technology connects with physical products, engineering or manufacturing.

That could be automotive, aerospace, defence, advanced manufacturing or another complex engineering environment.

You’ll need a track record of:

• Deliveringcomplex IT / digital transformation projects
• Managingmultiple technical and business stakeholders
• Workingwith external suppliers and systems integrators
• Managingproject budgets and resources
• Strongrisk, issue and dependency management
• Operatingwithin structured governance/PMO environments
• Drivingdelivery rather than simply reporting on it

Experience around PLM, ERP, requirements management,software platforms or engineering systems would be particularly useful. JobDescription IT Project Mana…

One of the project areas also touches the software platformssupporting next-generation vehicle architecture – including software assetmanagement, repositories and managing software across the development anddeployment lifecycle.

Why?

The brand is obviously a big part of the attraction.

But there's also a much wider technology transformationhappening behind it.

The organisation is investing in its internal digitalcapability and modernising some of the core platforms underpinning how itsproducts are designed, engineered and ultimately built.

For a Project Manager, that means complex programmes,serious stakeholders and technology where you can actually see the connectionbetween what you're delivering and the finished product.

Package

Plus a particularly strong benefits package including:

• Privatehealthcare
• upto 12% employer contribution
• Hybridworking
• 26days' holiday

If you're an experienced IT Project Manager who's deliveredcomplex technology change within automotive, engineering or manufacturing, I'dbe very interested in speaking with you.
