Role Description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager who can apply the principles of professional project management to deliver projects for our IT platforms across our complex international organisation.

This role is focused on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within IT, leading the technology workstreams that support the integration, separation and onboarding of acquired businesses into our global IT platforms.

You will have experience of delivering projects, ideally in a mixed methodology environment, providing a consistent, reliable service to business sponsors, stakeholders and your colleagues.

In this role you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of project(s), coordinating activities and deliveries that span technology and operational teams, often under the pace and confidentiality that M&A activity demands.

You will be comfortable with complexity and will have the aptitude and contextual perspective to understand how multiple parts work together.

You will be able to adapt to different areas of the business to meet changing demands.
