Project Manager (Fixed Term Contract)

3-Month Fixed Term Contract
Start Date: 1st October 2026

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead the implementation of a replacement risk management system (RMS) during a critical phase of delivery.

The system has already been selected and contracted, and we now need a pragmatic, hands-on Project Manager who can quickly get up to speed, build strong stakeholder relationships, and drive the implementation through to a successful outcome.

• Creating and maintaining project plans, timelines, risks and dependencies.
• Managing stakeholders across the business and with external suppliers.
• Monitoring delivery against agreed objectives and milestones.

• Identifying and mitigating risks, issues and delivery challenges.
• Providing regular updates and recommendations to key stakeholders.

About You

• Confident engaging and influencing stakeholders at all levels.
• Comfortable balancing delivery, governance and change management activities.
• Able to quickly understand business needs and translate them into action.

Experience of implementing risk management systems or similar governance, compliance or operational platforms would be advantageous but is not essential.
