The Opportunity
We're looking for a hands-on, delivery-focused Project Manager who is comfortable getting into the detail, managing multiple dependencies and driving a project forward in a complex environment.
You should be able to demonstrate a clear understanding of what happens when a business is separated from a parent organisation — not simply experience working on acquisitions or general M&A programmes.
This is a high-profile enterprise transformation environment offering the opportunity to work on complex, business-critical divestment activity with significant stakeholder visibility.
