Job description

Overview

Behind every successful product launch is someone making sure everything comes together at exactly the right time.

As our Range Change Project Manager, you'll be at the heart of some of Screwfix's most commercially significant range change projects, bringing together teams across Commercial, Supply Chain, Quality Assurance, Marketing and more to keep everything moving from concept through to launch.

This isn't about making the commercial decisions. It's about making sure they happen. You'll keep momentum high, challenge where needed, remove blockers and ensure the right people are delivering the right activity at the right time. Working on projects with genuine commercial impact, you'll partner with senior stakeholders across the business and help shape how we deliver range change in the future.

If you enjoy bringing structure to complexity, influencing many different stakeholders and seeing major projects successfully delivered, we'd love to hear from you.

• Discretionary annual bonus up to 20%

• Hybrid working with up to 2 days working from home

• 20% discount at Screwfix and B&Q

Responsibilities

• Create and oversee best practice for all other projects, delivering support, training, advice and oversight for stakeholder teams along with progress monitoring to ensure projects are being managed effectively and to time
• Define and manage the critical path change control process. When unavoidable amendments are required ensure that impacts and implications are understood and managed and that changes are prioritised appropriately
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders across the business & leverage those to ensure their effective compliance to critical path and activity timelines
• Create clear, timely progress updates for the senior teams on action and milestone delivery status and in particular identify, resolve or escalate challenges before they impact on overall project on-time delivery
• Develop and encourage proactive, collaborative ways of working, throughout the matrix of team members, identifying and delivering continuous improvement and increasing both speed and effectiveness of delivery
• Develop the effective use of technological tools to support quicker, more efficient and more effective project delivery.
