Project Manager, 6 months FTC, remote

Alternatively, can be done as an outside IR35 contract.

We're working with a new client, a business change consultancy with an excellent practice across EMEA. They are looking to embed a Project Manager into one of their clients, a scale-up (currently 800 employees) in the banking/finance sector that has been successfully executing an aggressive acquisitions programme over the past few years.

The brief for the Project Manager is to oversee projects across the entire business, not just IT. Within the end-user client, the PM will report directly to C-Suite (CEO and COO), so engagement and stakeholder management at that level are essential. Other requirements include:

1. Experience working in an M&A environment as a PM, initiating, overseeing, and implementing business change
2. Experience establishing governance frameworks and ensuring business compliance within those frameworks
3. Experience working at an SME or scale-up, with responsibilities involving reporting to C-suite and managing team-level change, likely gained in smaller companies
4. Flexibility to travel to client sites: the position is remote but will require frequent travel within the UK and potentially throughout EMEA. Travel expenses will be covered.

The position is primarily offered on a 6-month FTC, full-time employment with a salary of £70-£74k pro-rata. There is potential for extension or transition to a permanent role. Alternatively, an outside IR35 contract is available at a rate of £450/day.

All applicants must have current authorization to work unrestricted in the UK without visa sponsorship.
