Rate: Up to £75.55 per hour (Inside IR35)
Contract Length: 6 months initially
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Start Date: June 2026
Role: We are recruiting a Senior IT Project Manager on behalf of a global healthcare organisation based in Motherwell, Scotland.
Following a recent acquisition, the client is progressing a complex IT integration programme. With several significant workstreams still active - including application migration, data transfer, system decommissioning and infrastructure changes - they need an experienced IT Project Manager to step in, bring structure and help the local IT team deliver to a year end deadline.
This is a hands on, fully on-site role. You'll work closely with local IT colleagues and interface regularly with global teams and senior stakeholders across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and co-ordinate ongoing M&A IT integration workstreams, including application migrations and data transfers
* Plan and manage the decommissioning of legacy systems and environments
* Produce clear, accessible project reporting for senior and executive stakeholders
* Facilitate communication between local IT staff, global centres of excellence, and business functions
* Help remove blockers, manage competing priorities, and keep the programme on track toward a year-end deadline
* Travel to other Scottish sites as required, particularly during the initial onboarding period
Essential Skills and Experience
* Demonstrable experience as a Senior IT Project Manager, ideally within M&A, post-acquisition, or large-scale IT integration programmes
* Background working within or alongside large, complex organisations - comfortable navigating cross-functional teams, stakeholder politics, and global ways of working
* Strong stakeholder management and communication skills - able to engage confidently at executive level and with technical teams alike
* Highly self-sufficient and proactive - able to identify priorities and take ownership without close direction
* Project management methodology knowledge (Prince2, PMP, Agile, or equivalent)
Desirable
* Experience in life sciences, healthcare, or regulated industries
* Familiarity with Office 365 environments and IT infrastructure concepts
* Full UK driving licence (able to travel between Scottish sites within 45 minutes of Motherwell)
* Scotland based or able to commit fully to on-site working in Motherwell
