Overview
Project Delivery Lead (Transformation / Salesforce)
Contract Length: Initial 6-months ( up to 18–24 months programme)
Location: Birmingham initially (travel across UK required as the programme progresses – expenses covered)
Start Date: ASAP
We’re looking for an experienced Project Delivery Lead to play a key role in a large-scale business transformation programme, with Salesforce at its core. This is not a purely IT-focused role - the programme will impact people, processes, and ways of working across the organisation.
You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and external delivery partners, owning delivery from a fast-paced discovery phase through to full implementation. This is a hands-on role for someone who actively drives delivery, manages risk early, and ensures outcomes are achieved in a complex, multi-workstream environment.
This role requires someone who is up for a challenge and has been in challenging, fast paced environments. You could secure yourself a long project that could see you work across different workstreams, not just this Salesforce project.
Key Experience Needed
* Proven experience as a Project Manager or Delivery Lead on large-scale transformation programmes
* Good understanding of Salesforce implementations and enterprise system landscapes is good but other ERP/CRMs is also good.
* Comfortable engaging in technical discussions around systems, integrations, and automation
* Experience working in Agile / iterative delivery environments
* Strong vendor and third-party management experience
* Proven ability to manage budgets, forecasts, and invoice sign-off
* Confident communicator who proactively escalates risks and issues
* Comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving programmes with multiple workstreams
Key Responsibilities
* Take accountability for delivery of a Salesforce transformation workstream within a wider programme
* Lead a 4-month discovery phase, producing a detailed implementation plan, cost model, and target architecture
* Own delivery through to implementation, ensuring agreed outcomes are met
* Manage delivery partners, ensuring commitments are delivered against plan
* Create and maintain clear project plans, schedules, and dependencies
* Proactively manage risks, issues, and change requests, escalating where required
* Track and manage project budgets, providing transparent financial updates
* Produce and share regular project status and highlight reports
* Work closely with business, IT, and change teams to coordinate delivery activities
* Support a collaborative, delivery-focused culture with minimal bureaucracy
