Our client combines global know-how with local insight to help their clients turn business goals into reality, by offering innovation, automation and organisational design.

As a Senior Project Manager in their Strategic Projects Group, you'll own the end-to-end delivery of complex, business-critical projects for clients - from acquisitions of new brands to system and software implementations across multiple markets. This is a generalist role: you won't be tied to one project type or sector, so we need someone who can think strategically about how each project fits into a client's wider goals, not just execute a plan.

You'll be comfortable working independently across multiple time zones and several concurrent projects, confident at challenging stakeholders when needed, and energized by variety rather than repetition.

As a Senior Project Manager you will:

• Own the full lifecycle of medium to large, multi-workstream projects from initiation through to closure
• Agree project objectives, scope, budget and deliverables with sponsors and stakeholders, and translate these into a clear project plan with owned milestones and timelines.
• Identify, manage and escalate risks, issues, dependencies and decisions, ensuring the project connects to the client's broader business goals.
• Lead and motivate cross-functional project teams consisting of business, technical and third-party vendors - holding the team to its commitments and resolving conflicting priorities.
• Manage senior stakeholder relationships through clear, regular reporting on progress, risks and decisions
• Ensure deliverables are tested against agreed acceptance criteria and properly handed into operational support and capture lessons learned
• Support the wider team by sharing knowledge across project managers and contributing to shared templates, tools and processes.
• Working with other project managers in the team to deliver wider programmes of work.
