Senior Project Manager
Edinburgh - Hybrid, 2–3 days per week onsite
£60k - £70k + Benefits
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to join a global organisation, supporting the delivery of a range of IT projects. You’ll be joining an established IT team of around 35 people, which includes a smaller, dedicated Project Management team.
This is an environment where processes and ways of working are still developing, so there’s an opportunity to improve project processes, governance, and controls. The role would suit someone who is comfortable working in a less structured environment and enjoys putting processes in place.
The role
- Manage a portfolio of around 3–4 IT projects at a time, overseeing delivery from initiation through to go-live.
- Take a key role in delivering a range of IT projects across the business.
- Manage both technical delivery and business readiness, ensuring teams and stakeholders are prepared for any changes.
- Work closely with stakeholders to gather, challenge, and document business requirements, particularly where Business Analyst support isn't available.
- Help develop and improve project processes, governance, reporting, and controls.
- Maintain RAID logs, track project progress, and provide clear, regular updates to stakeholders.
