We’re working with a North London based local authority to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of a case management system for their Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) service.

This is a critical transformation role within the organisation, focusing on the successful identification, cleansing and migration of data from multiple sources - including the existing Synergy system - into Liquidlogic.

• Manage the data migration from a fragmented set of sources (including Synergy) into Liquidlogic.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across business services and digital teams to ensure alignment.
• Manage supplier relationships and hold vendors to account for delivery.
• Work flexibly within a changing programme scope and evolving priorities.

We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience managing complex digital and data transformation projects within SEND or social care services.
• Hands-on experience with Synergy and Liquidlogic systems is essential.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills - you’ll need to build trust and cooperation across services.
• A curious, proactive mindset - unafraid to ask tough questions and challenge assumptions.
• Comfortable in ambiguity - focused on delivering outcomes, not just ticking boxes.
• Skilled in matrix management and resource allocation across business and IT functions.
• Transparent, collaborative, and accountable approach to large, multi-workstream projects.
• A strong sense of authenticity and enthusiasm - bringing your full self to the role.
