Are you an experienced Senior Project Manager with a background delivering Microsoft digital transformation projects within Higher Education?
This is far more than a traditional PM role.
Our client, an award-winning Microsoft Solutions Partner, is looking for someone who can successfully deliver complex programmes whilst mentoring and developing the wider Project Management team. You'll remain hands-on with delivery but also play an integral role in shaping best practice, supporting colleagues and helping drive continuous improvement across the business.
What you'll be doing:
- ✅ Leading end-to-end Microsoft digital transformation programmes from pre-sales through to successful delivery
- ✅ Managing project scope, governance, RAID logs, budgets, forecasting, reporting, change control and commercial performance
- ✅ Building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Universities, Colleges and Higher Education institutions
- ✅ Leading multi-disciplinary delivery teams across consultants, technical specialists and client stakeholders
- ✅ Supporting pre-sales, project mobilisation and client engagement activities
- ✅ Mentoring and coaching Project Managers, sharing best practice and helping develop future talent
