Job Description
Project Manager
Project Manager - Housing Management System Transformation
Hybrid | South Coast | 24-month Programme
Lead a flagship transformation that will shape the future of housing services for over 15,000 households.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile Housing Management System (HMS) replacement programme-one that will modernise how residents access services, how teams work, and how a major public sector provider uses data, technology and insight to deliver safer, smarter, more responsive housing.
You'll be at the heart of a once-in-a-generation modernisation programme, backed by senior leadership, with strong organisational commitment and a clear mandate for change. If you're driven by meaningful work, complex delivery, and the chance to leave a legacy, this role offers all of that and more.
The Role
You'll lead the end-to-end delivery of a major cloud-based HMS implementation-spanning planning, configuration, data migration, testing, cutover and post-go-live stabilisation.
You'll coordinate specialists across digital, data, housing operations, finance, suppliers and governance teams to ensure everything lands smoothly, safely and in line with strategic goals.
This is a role for a leader: someone who can bring structure, clarity and confidence to a transformation that will change how thousands of residents and staff experience housing services.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the full lifecycle of a modern SaaS HMS implementation
* Manage and motivate a multidisciplinary project team
* Own delivery plans, governance, RAID, budget tracking and reporting
* Oversee complex data cleansing and migration from legacy systems
* Drive system configuration, integrations and technical readiness
* Lead SIT, UAT, quality assurance and cutover planning
* Support business change, training and user adoption
* Ensure a smooth, well-governed transition into BAU support
* Track and deliver tangible benefits for residents, staff and compliance
Essential Experience
* Delivery of housing-related IT programmes or large-scale system implementations
* Strong understanding of housing services (tenancy, repairs, rents, allocations, assets, ASB etc.)
* Experience working with platforms like NEC Housing, Dynamics 365 or similar
* Experience delivering in cloud/SaaS environments
* Strong governance, reporting, risk and change control skills
* Proven experience leading organisational and digital change
Desirable
* Data migration experience
* PRINCE2 Practitioner (or equivalent)
* Understanding of GDPR and housing regulatory standards
* Confident workshop and stakeholder facilitator
* Supplier and contract management experience
Culture
The organisation you'll join values collaboration, integrity, inclusivity and a genuine commitment to improving services for local communities. You'll be supported, trusted and given the space to deliver a transformation that truly matters.
