About the Role
We’re looking for a Project Manager who thrives on variety, takes real ownership of their work, and isn’t afraid to get into the detail when it matters. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to manage from a distance; we need someone who is engaged, proactive, and equally comfortable working at pace across several different projects simultaneously.
GSF’s Projects Team is driving meaningful change across the business, particularly in the technology that supports our nationwide branches, National teams, and operational functions. The variety of work is significant—from branch systems rollouts to cross-functional supplier integrations—and you’ll be expected to manage several projects simultaneously while keeping each one on track without losing sight of the bigger picture.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll work day-to-day alongside IT Business Partners and the wider Project Team, and you’ll be expected to know your projects inside out. We value proactive problem-solving—if something is at risk, we want someone who identifies issues early and takes action, rather than waiting for them to escalate.
The office is not accessible via public transport. The role is based 3 days a week in the office and 2 days from home.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Take full ownership of projects from initiation through to closure, ensuring each one is set up correctly, delivered to plan, and properly handed over.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date project documentation throughout the lifecycle, including RAID logs and Project Implementation Documentation (PIDs).
- Coordinate cross-functional teams and third-party partners, keeping all parties engaged, aligned, and moving forward.
- Chair delivery meetings with purpose, ensuring they drive decisions and actions, not just status reviews.
- Provide regular, honest, and well-structured updates to stakeholders at all levels, including transparent reporting on risks and issues.
- Ensure robust handover and post-project support arrangements are in place, with all documentation completed before closure.
