About The Role

Alzheimer’s Society, the UK’s leading dementia charity, is seeking an IT Project Manager to play a key role in delivering and shaping our technology transformation.

In this role, you’ll lead a diverse portfolio of IT projects, working closely with technical specialists, business analysts, and colleagues across the organisation. From initiation through to delivery and transition into business‑as‑usual, you’ll be responsible for planning, budgeting, risk and dependency management, governance, and clear reporting. You’ll also help drive positive technology change, share best practice in project and change management, and represent IT within larger, cross‑organisational programmes.

This role blends strong technical understanding with excellent project management skills and offers the opportunity to work with a high degree of autonomy while making a meaningful impact in a dynamic and evolving environment. Projects are delivered using the Society’s project management framework, aligned to PRINCE2, alongside an increasing use of Agile and hybrid delivery approaches as our ways of working continue to evolve.

About you

You are an experienced IT or Technical Project Manager with a proven track record of delivering technology projects from initiation through to completion. You’re comfortable working in complex, fast‑paced environments, managing multiple priorities, and maintaining a clear focus on quality, outcomes, and value. You have a solid understanding of IT systems and delivery processes and are confident applying structured project management approaches, alongside Agile/hybrid ways of working. You also have some line‑management experience managing projects coordinators.

You excel at building positive relationships and communicating clearly with a wide range of stakeholders, from technical teams to non‑technical colleagues. Collaborative and organised, you bring a proactive, problem‑solving mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement. You’re motivated by work with purpose and are keen to use your skills and experience to help deliver meaningful change for people affected by dementia.

You’ll have

• Extensive experience managing end‑to‑end IT projects, from planning and initiation through to delivery and closure
• Strong working knowledge of PRINCE2, alongside experience using Agile or hybrid project delivery approaches
• Proven ability to lead technical teams and collaborate effectively across departments
• Experience delivering change, including process improvement and organisational process re‑engineering
• Excellent organisational, time management, and risk management skills
• A strong track record of engaging and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, including senior leaders
• Proficiency in project management tools and the Microsoft Office suite
• Experience mentoring, coaching, or supporting colleagues in project and change management best practice

What you’ll focus on

• Delivering projects aligned to the IT Roadmap and strategic objectives, ensuring outcomes meet agreed time, cost, and quality measures
• Engaging stakeholders across the organisation to secure input, commitment, and support throughout the project lifecycle
• Working closely with the Business Engagement Manager to identify and track project benefits
• Partnering with business analysts to analyse data, define requirements, and develop effective solutions, implementing process improvements and supporting organisational change as part of project delivery
• Managing risks, issues, and dependencies, providing clear updates and reports to stakeholders and governance boards
• Coordinating project closure and ensuring a smooth handover into business‑as‑usual operations
• Motivating, guiding, and supporting project team members, including analysts, testers, and technical specialists

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under‑represented at Alzheimer’s Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer’s Society.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy helps us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.
