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.
If this sounds like your kind of role, drop me a message or apply directly.
