Hiring: Project Manager – HR System Implementation (12‑Month FTC)
Edinburgh (Hybrid – ~1 day per week in office)
A leading professional membership & regulatory organisation is looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead a major HR system upgrade and support wider digital transformation programmes (CRM, website, case management, and more).
If you’ve delivered HR system implementations before and enjoy supplier management, coordination of SMEs, and driving real organisational change — this one’s for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead the delivery of an off‑the‑shelf HR system implementation (tender awarded imminently).
* Manage suppliers, contracts, timelines, budgets, risks, and internal communication.
* Coordinate SMEs across HR, payroll, IT, and wider teams.
* Support other ongoing digital projects including:
* CRM transformation
* Website upgrade
* Regulatory case management system refresh
* Apply governance, structure, and reporting in an environment without a formal PMO.
* Oversee testing phases, go‑live readiness, and delivery assurance.
What You’ll Bring
* Proven experience delivering HR system implementations.
* Strong vendor/supplier management capability.
* 5+ years as a Project Manager delivering IT/digital projects.
* Project management certification (PRINCE2, Agile, Scrum etc.).
* Comfortable working across multiple projects with diverse stakeholder groups.
* Experience in membership bodies, regulatory organisations, or public sector is a bonus.
Why This Role?
You’ll be at the heart of an ambitious digital modernisation agenda in a values‑driven organisation. High visibility, meaningful change, and the autonomy to shape how projects are delivered.
