Job Description
Contract Project Manager – Retail Technology / Systems Integration
Up to £600/day (Inside IR35)
Northampton (3–4 days onsite)
No option for relocation, only people who are commutable to Northampton.
6-month initial contract
The Opportunity
We’re supporting a well-known UK business with a large-scale retail estate looking to bring in a delivery-focused Project Manager to own two key workstreams within their technology landscape.
This is not a passive governance role.
They need someone who can step in, take ownership, and drive delivery across both integration and early-stage platform work in a live operational environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Leading rollout of an SMS communication solution across a nationwide retail estate
* Managing supplier delivery and coordinating integration into existing systems
* Owning a new leasing platform initiative at RFP stage
* Working with internal stakeholders and vendors to shape requirements and delivery approach
* Driving timelines, managing risks, and keeping both workstreams moving at pace
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience delivering retail or multi-site technology programmes
* Strong background in systems integration and supplier management
* Comfortable running multiple workstreams simultaneously
* Experience across full lifecycle delivery (RFP → implementation → rollout)
* Confident working in fast-paced, operational environments
The Environment
You’ll be working in a hands-on delivery role where visibility and ownership are key. The team needs someone who can operate independently, engage senior stakeholders, and keep momentum without constant direction.
