Job description

About the job

Sofico is a Hidden Champion: We’re the world’s leading supplier of software solutions and services for asset finance, leasing, and fleet mobility management. Our software is used at a broad range of enterprise businesses all over the world.

We’re currently scaling our delivery teams as we look to expand and are recruiting Project Managers with relevant experience.

What you’ll be doing

You will lead a team of 4-10 to deliver complex software implementations. To help you get the job done, you will have access to a comprehensive and well-documented PMO, a team of PMO professionals, and a variety of product support teams, training and delivery teams, and the UK Business Consultancy function.

We care about delivery and want to ensure we get it right the first time. You won’t be managing multiple concurrent projects or small changes; instead, you will be dealing with enterprise projects from day one. This means working with coordinated delivery teams on both sides of the table, integrating yourself with 1 or 2 customers, and focusing on their business, the program of work across their group, and ensuring delivery by working with our internal teams to configure, deploy, train, and manage large-scale software implementations.

Your interests and skills

You have thorough experience with project management and project management methodologies (Agile, Scrum, etc.) in a software implementation context. Together with your project team, you are responsible for establishing and achieving objectives; balancing the competing demands for quality, scope, time, and cost; performing risk assessments; and adapting specifications, plans, and approaches to the different concerns and expectations of the various stakeholders.

You have thorough knowledge and experience with the different phases of a software implementation project: from pre-sales phase to go-live, including requirement analysis, configuration, development, migration, testing, etc. You can maintain an overview of the different phases and manage the implementation of different modules simultaneously. You have excellent organization skills, an analytical mind, strong commercial awareness, and you are diplomatic.

You have a helicopter view as well as a pragmatic approach. You are a people manager and coach: you succeed in getting your team on track and keep each project member motivated throughout the project duration. You challenge and inspire your team, organizing and managing communication streams and reporting internally and externally.

With your excellent communication, presentation, and writing skills, you can effectively and concisely communicate project and technical information to provide comprehensive recommendations. You possess strong interpersonal skills with an emphasis on relationship management and influencing skills, and you have the ability to manage difficult situations. You have thorough experience in large-scale ERP deployments and experience in the financial sector; experience in the leasing business is a plus. You are fluent in English.

Traveling during key stages of the project and occasionally to our HQ in Belgium doesn’t scare you.

What we offer

We would like to welcome you to an international and multicultural company that has been operating for over 30 years and is doubling in size every 5 years. Growth is our middle name, while we strongly adhere to our horizontal and open company culture.

You're in the driver’s seat of your own career; that's our motto. Your personal development is paramount. During an extensive onboarding program of six months, we familiarize you with our product and the organization with the support of your job coach. Even after this period, you will continue to receive opportunities to learn and develop yourself further. You’re never alone.

At Sofico, you will also work in a modern office where we focus on ergonomics.

In return for your efforts, we offer an extensive salary package, including a company car, a bonus system, and a pension plan. The flexible office hours and opportunities to work from home provide the necessary flexibility within the company.

At Sofico, we are strong believers in the power of a good cup of coffee. Water or soft drinks are, of course, also on the menu. We love our team events, including after-work drinks, BBQs, family days, company weekends, or walking dinners with the whole company.
