ABOUT IRIS

IRIS Software Group is one of the UK's largest privately held software companies, trusted by 100,000+ businesses, schools and accountancy firms to keep their operations running. Our software pays 1 in 6 UK employees, supports over 12,000 schools, and is relied on by 91 of the top 100 UK accountancy firms.

We're a Great Place to Work® certified employer, recognised for our commitment to well-being, inclusion and development - and we're growing fast.

Help turn complex technology change into clear, controlled delivery across IRIS.

IRIS Software Group provides business software and services that help organisations reduce administration, improve processes and make better decisions. We operate across the UK, North America and international markets, with growth supported by acquisitions, business transformation and technology modernisation.

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to join us on a 12-month fixed-term contract and take ownership of varied internal IT and technology-enabled business projects. You will bring structure, pace and clear communication to work that may span applications, infrastructure, data, cyber security, workplace technology, end-user computing and service improvement.

Current examples include replacing a secure email application, improving certificate management and upgrading from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022, alongside potential mergers, acquisitions and divestments.

Why This Role Matters

Our internal technology projects shape how colleagues work and how effectively the wider business operates. You will connect technology teams, business stakeholders, suppliers and implementation partners, turning objectives into practical plans and keeping delivery focused on agreed outcomes.

The portfolio may also include M&A activity. M&A means mergers and acquisitions, where businesses combine or one company acquires another. You may support integration, bringing systems and teams together, or divestment and separation, where part of a business is prepared to operate independently or move to a new owner.

About the Team You’ll Join

You will report to the Principal Programme Manager and join a close-knit team of four within our IT Managed Technology Support function. Working across internal IT, business functions, leadership teams, Finance, suppliers and delivery partners, you will play an important role in delivering technology change that supports colleagues across the wider business.

The role can be performed fully remotely. You may be invited to occasional workshops in Manchester or Heathrow, potentially for up to two days with advance notice, but attendance is not essential.

This is a role for someone who can establish credibility quickly, work independently and maintain momentum when priorities and dependencies are changing.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead projects end to end, from initiation and discovery through delivery, closure and handover.
• Build and maintain project plans, milestone trackers, budgets, governance documents, dependency maps and status reports.
• Manage scope, schedules, resources, risks, issues and change control, taking corrective action when delivery moves off track.
• Run workshops, project meetings, governance forums and decision-making sessions, ensuring actions and decisions are captured and progressed.
• Coordinate delivery across applications, infrastructure, data, security, end-user computing and business operations.
• Where required, support due diligence, transition planning, technology migration, day-one readiness and business readiness for acquisitions, integrations or divestments.
• Maintain financial control against the approved Investment Case, meaning the agreed business justification and funding for a project, working with Finance on budget tracking and cross-charges between business areas.
• Plan a sustainable transition into BAU, meaning business as usual, with clear ownership, service continuity, closure documentation and lessons learned.

What We’re Looking For

You will need proven experience delivering complex internal IT, technology transformation or technology-enabled business change projects. You should be comfortable working across several workstreams, engaging senior stakeholders and suppliers, and balancing pace with robust governance.

• Strong project planning, budget, risk, supplier and governance experience.
• Experience across areas such as infrastructure, applications, data, cyber security, end-user computing, service improvement or workplace technology.
• Confidence maintaining RAID logs. RAID is a structured record of risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies that could affect delivery.
• Excellent written, verbal and presentation skills, with the ability to make complex delivery information clear and decision-ready.
• A calm, organised and pragmatic approach, with strong attention to detail and the confidence to work through ambiguity.

Experience in a private equity-backed, acquisition-led or high-growth organisation, or supporting integrations, carve-outs or divestments, would be valuable but is not essential.

Familiarity with Asana, Microsoft Project, SharePoint or similar tools, plus PRINCE2, Agile or an equivalent project management qualification, would also be useful.

Why Join Us?

This contract offers the opportunity to influence a varied portfolio of high-impact internal projects and work with stakeholders across technology and the wider business. You will have the autonomy to shape delivery plans, strengthen governance and leave each project with clear ownership, documentation and a sustainable handover.

If you enjoy bringing clarity to complex change and keeping diverse teams aligned around delivery, we would be pleased to hear from you.

Why you’ll love working here

• Impact: Your work will influence millions globally.
• Growth: Continuous learning and career development opportunities.
• Belonging: A culture that celebrates diversity and empowers every individual.
