Job description

Job Description

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

IT Project Manager – Technology Transformation

£60,000–£72,000 | Permanent | Hybrid – Warwickshire

I'm supporting an iconic British luxury manufacturer that's going through a significant transformation of its internal technology capability.

As part of that investment, they're looking for an experienced 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 particular system.

It's about being a very good Project Manager in a complex technical 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 enterprise platforms, requirements management, software lifecycle management and integrations into wider PLM and ERP environments.

Responsible for:

• Full lifecycle IT project delivery
• Project planning, governance and reporting
• Managing budgets, resources, risks and dependencies
• Leading cross-functional technical teams
• Managing third-party suppliers and implementation partners
• Working with senior stakeholders across IT, Engineering and Manufacturing
• Coordinating complex systems and platform integrations
• Supporting business process and organisational change
• Ensuring new technology is successfully adopted and embedded

There's no direct line management responsibility, but you'll be expected to lead and coordinate internal teams, contractors and external suppliers 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:

• Delivering complex IT / digital transformation projects
• Managing multiple technical and business stakeholders
• Working with external suppliers and systems integrators
• Managing project budgets and resources
• Strong risk, issue and dependency management
• Operating within structured governance/PMO environments
• Driving delivery rather than simply reporting on it

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

One of the project areas also touches the software platforms supporting next-generation vehicle architecture – including software asset management, repositories and managing software across the development and deployment lifecycle.

Why?

The brand is obviously a big part of the attraction.

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

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

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

Package

£60,000–£72,000

Plus a particularly strong benefits package including:

• Private healthcare
• up to 12% employer contribution
• Exceptional employee car scheme
• Hybrid working
• 26 days' holiday
• Wider employee benefits and discounts
• Early finish Fridays

The role is based in Warwickshire, with hybrid working.

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