Calling Project Managers! Are you a skilled communicator with a natural ability to influence, motivate and lead others and ready for a new challenge? Then look no further!
We have an exciting opportunity for a professional, hands-on Project Manager to join us on a full-time, permanent basis to deliver some key systems and business process change projects, and to develop our programme management capability for ongoing technology and business process transformation.
This role can be based in any of our offices across Scotland (Elgin, Peterhead, Aberdeen, Dundee, Airdrie, Glasgow, Dumbarton, Irvine or Galashiels) or as part of our hybrid working model. However, there will be occasional travel across our branches (travel expenses would be reimbursed as set out in Cornerstone's expense policy with travel reimbursed by HMRC legislation).
The Role
We have three ongoing or planned projects which we will need you to lead: -
* Our Access Model Office Project is the re-implementation of existing core and rota management software, with alignment of business processes. This project is in the final implementation phase and we'll need you to oversee its completion and handover back to BAU
* Our HR and Payroll System project is in the design phase, having selected a product we are working on a data transfer and system configuration. We'll need you to step into the hands-on PM role to ensure our plan is robust and drive it through to completion in Q1 2026.
* Our Finance System project is yet to start and will follow once the above two are completed. We will need you to lead this from start to finish.
It's also a very exciting time to join us as we enter into a new strategy period, and part of the role will involve developing and overseeing a programme management approach to strategic change within our charity.

* An experienced project manager, able to create and maintain cohesive project plans using a project management tool such as MS project or similar to manage tasks, resources, schedules and create reports.
* A skilled communicator, able to negotiate and influence with diplomacy and tact.
* Able to motivate people with your management and leadership abilities, ensuring teams work collaboratively to meet deadlines.
* Knowledgeable about change management practices, and techniques for effective management of change.
* Excellent at planning and organisation, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
* Committed to professionalism and quality, with a practical, solution-focussed approach.
It would be a benefit if you also have: -
* A project management qualification such as Prince2 Practitioner, PMQ, PMP
