Are you an experienced project manager with a passion for leading business transformation? Do you thrive at the intersection of technology and people, and excel at turning ambitious ideas into tangible outcomes? We are seeking a dedicated and proactive Programme Project Manager to spearhead the delivery of our next-generation SaaS solution.
About The Role
As the Programme Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in the full lifecycle of an enterprise SaaS implementation, from initial planning through to operational delivery. While technical knowledge of SaaS platforms is important, your ability to engage, influence, and collaborate with a diverse range of business stakeholders will be your greatest asset. You will orchestrate project governance, ensure transparency, and maintain momentum through clear communication and effective planning.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and coordinate the end-to-end delivery of a major SaaS implementation programme, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
* Engage and manage relationships with key business stakeholders to understand requirements, communicate project progress, and address challenges proactively.
* Establish and maintain robust project governance structures, delivering regular and insightful updates to ensure project status is transparent and risks are managed.
* Develop detailed project plans, defining scope, milestones, deliverables, and dependencies, while ensuring adaptability as the programme evolves.
* Facilitate regular cadence of meetings and checkpoints to monitor progress and resolve issues swiftly.
* Champion best practices in change management to ensure smooth adoption and minimal business disruption.
* Work in partnership with technical teams and external vendors to ensure seamless solution delivery and integration.
* Drive continuous improvement by identifying lessons learned and implementing process enhancements.
About You
* Proven experience as a Programme or Project Manager, ideally in large-scale SaaS or technology-enabled transformation projects.
* Demonstrable expertise in stakeholder engagement, with the ability to influence at all levels of the organisation.
* Strong planning and organisational skills, with a track record of delivering complex projects on time and within budget.
* Sound understanding of SaaS concepts, implementation processes, and change management.
* Exceptional communication skills – verbal, written, and visual – with the ability to present complex information clearly to business and technical audiences.
* Experience establishing and running project governance structures, reporting, and cadence meetings.
* Relevant project management certification (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, Agile) is advantageous.
Why Join Us?
* Be at the forefront of digital transformation within a dynamic and supportive environment.
* Collaborate with passionate professionals and visionary leaders.
* Shape the future of our business and make a tangible impact on customer experience.
* Competitive remuneration and comprehensive benefits package.
* Opportunities for personal and professional growth.
If you are ready to take ownership of a high-impact programme and have the drive to inspire, plan, and deliver, we would love to hear from you.
