Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

We’re looking for a dynamic and experienced Project Manager to lead a strategic initiative aimed at transforming our Property and Facilities Management (FM) systems. This high-impact role offers the opportunity to shape the project from its earliest stages through to pre-implementation, collaborating with stakeholders across the organisation and external partners. The successful candidate will be responsible for scoping the project end-to-end to address key operational challenges, managing the development of both functional and non-functional requirements, and evaluating delivery options such as single versus dual systems or buy versus build approaches. They will also drive benefits realisation planning and tracking, coordinate consultations with high-performing councils to inform best practice, and develop a comprehensive implementation and change management plan that includes training and support.

Join a team that’s driving strategic transformation in a collaborative, purpose-led environment. You’ll benefit from flexible working arrangements and supportive leadership, reporting directly to the Digital Resident Experience Lead. The role offers extensive opportunities to engage with both internal colleagues and external partners, making it ideal for someone who thrives on building meaningful connections while contributing to impactful change.

You’re a strategic thinker and experienced project leader with a strong track record of delivering property or asset management systems, ideally within the public sector. You bring a deep understanding of capital planning, finance integration, and property services, and you’re confident navigating complex operational challenges. Your ability to engage and influence a wide range of stakeholders—both internal and external—is matched by your skill in leading cross-functional teams and balancing competing priorities. You’re well-versed in systems implementation and procurement processes, and comfortable managing both functional and non-functional requirements. Experience with Agile and/or PRINCE2 methodologies is a plus, as is familiarity with data governance and system integration. Most importantly, you’re ready to take ownership of a high-impact transformation project from scoping through to change management and implementation.

At Haringey Council we are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce so welcome applications from all ethnicities and communities so that we continue to make a difference to our residents and community.
