Our BTS Global Delivery Team is growing, and we’re looking for a Senior Business Change & Technology Project Manager to join our PMaaS (Project Management as a Service) function. Operating as an internal consultancy, PMaaS deploys project and programme managers into strategically critical assignments across ABF’s global businesses. In this role, you’ll take end-to-end ownership of major business change and technology programmes, from shaping scope through to benefits realisation.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing the end-to-end delivery of assigned business and technology change projects, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and governance standards.
• Defining project scope, approach, and schedule, with a focus on delivering measurable outcomes on time and within budget.
• Managing multi-disciplinary teams across federated businesses, including PMaaS colleagues, local business resources, and external partners.
• Facilitating business readiness and change adoption through clear planning and engagement with end users and operational leaders.
• Applying appropriate delivery methodologies—Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid—to suit project needs while ensuring continuous improvement.
• Carefully managing risks, issues, and dependencies across concurrent high-profile initiatives, often involving C-level stakeholders.
• Reporting regularly on progress, value delivery, and benefits realisation, ensuring business cases are owned and outcomes.
• Supporting the growth of the PMaaS practice by mentoring others, sharing best practice, and contributing to the development of tools and templates.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in effectively delivering business and technology change projects within a federated enterprise environment.
• Experience managing ERP projects through the full lifecycle—experience with Dynamics 365 is highly desirable.
• Extensive knowledge of project budgeting, planning, and stakeholder engagement, with experience managing budgets in the millions.
• Skilled in engaging with C-suite executives and tailoring communication methods to meet the needs of both operational and strategic audiences.
• Deep experience in change management and preparing business users for effective technology adoption.
• Proficient in both Agile and Waterfall methodologies and confident in applying a pragmatic blend to suit project contexts.
• Excellent leadership, influencing, and relationship-building skills with a collaborative, consultative mindset.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Project, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and other key project delivery tools.
