Job description

Senior Project Manager | Technology & Digital Delivery

Location: North Dublin | Hybrid (3 days onsite)

Salary: package €95-115 k & Benefits

The Opportunity

We are working with an established technology business seeking a highly driven, commercially minded Senior Project Manager to take ownership of its project delivery function.

This is a hands-on leadership role, reporting directly to the Director of Digital, with responsibility for managing two Project Managers and overseeing a portfolio of approximately 20 active projects, ranging from major client implementations to smaller internal initiatives.

We are looking for a natural problem solver and strong delivery leader who takes full accountability, knows how to prioritise competing demands and drives projects through to successful completion.

This is not a role for someone who simply tracks progress and escalates issues. We need someone who takes ownership, identifies solutions and gets things done.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of project delivery, from initial scoping and planning through to testing, implementation and successful completion.
• Lead and support two Project Managers, providing direction, guidance and accountability across the project portfolio.
• Manage competing priorities across approximately 20 projects, ensuring resources and attention are focused where they deliver the greatest value.
• Proactively identify project risks, blockers and delivery challenges, taking responsibility for resolving issues rather than simply escalating them.
• Work closely with Development, Business Analysis, Operations, Finance and other teams to understand issues and coordinate practical solutions.
• Communicate clearly and concisely with senior management, including C-level stakeholders, providing meaningful updates on progress, risks and decisions.
• Own and continuously improve project governance, delivery processes, planning templates and reporting standards.
• Balance delivery timelines, commercial priorities and product quality, ensuring solutions are fit for purpose without unnecessary delays.

Experience & Skills

• 5+ years' experience in Project Management, with proven responsibility for delivering multiple concurrent projects.
• Experience managing or mentoring Project Managers or cross-functional delivery teams.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills, with a logical, structured and methodical approach to identifying and resolving issues.
• Strong ownership mentality, with the confidence to make decisions, challenge assumptions and drive projects forward independently.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, particularly when dealing with senior leadership and technical teams.
• Ability to understand how different systems, processes and project components interact, without needing to be technically hands-on.
• Strong organisational skills, commercial awareness and the ability to prioritise effectively.
• Experience in SaaS, software, digital products, eCommerce or technology environments would be advantageous but is not essential.

What We're Looking For

Above all, we want a proactive, decisive and solutions-focused leader who brings structure, accountability and momentum to project delivery.

Someone who can see the bigger picture, understand the detail when necessary, bring the right people together to resolve challenges and make sensible decisions that keep projects moving.

The successful candidate will know when to challenge, when to compromise and when to make a call, ensuring projects are delivered to the required standard, on time and with the right commercial balance.

Package & Benefits

• 10% performance bonus, applicable after six months
• Healthcare benefits
• Pension scheme
• Hybrid working: 3 days onsite in North Dublin
• 20 days per year working remotely from anywhere, subject to company policy
• Onsite parking

An excellent opportunity for an ambitious Senior Project Manager to take genuine ownership of a busy project portfolio, lead a small team and work directly with senior leadership in a business where initiative, accountability and delivery are highly valued.
