Implementation Project Manager – HR, Payroll & Finance Systems | Hybrid, Glasgow
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established Scottish organisation delivering essential care and support services, currently undertaking a major Business Improvement Programme to modernise its core HR, payroll, finance and rostering platforms.
Following a successful supplier selection process, our client is now looking for an experienced Implementation Project Manager to lead Stage 3 of the programme — taking the selected platform live across HR, payroll, finance and rostering in phases, without disrupting frontline service delivery.
The role
This is a hands-on delivery and control role. You'll direct the implementation partner and software supplier against the agreed scope, own configuration and data decisions, and be accountable for the go-live and stabilisation of each phase. You'll report to the Executive Sponsor and be accountable to the Steering Group, working closely with process owners across Finance, HR, Payroll and Operations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Full lifecycle delivery of at least one finance or HR/payroll implementation through to live running and stabilisation

- Hands-on experience of data migration, reconciliation and formal business sign-off
