As a Senior HR Project Manager on a 12‑month fixed‑term contract, you’ll lead the end‑to‑end delivery of the Rostering Programme and other key projects that shape how teams work across Elysium.
Bringing strong programme leadership, excellent organisation, and confidence in managing multiple complex workstreams, you will be highly organised, methodical, and detail‑driven, with a strong bias to action that keeps momentum high in fast‑moving and sometimes ambiguous environments.
You will actively project manage workstream owners and SMEs, ensuring clear plans, milestones, dependencies, and outputs are delivered on time and to standard. This includes holding senior stakeholders to account, managing slippage, escalating risks, and driving decisions where progress stalls.
With proven experience delivering complex, multi‑workstream HR programmes—and subject‑matter expertise across employee relations, pay and contractual frameworks, and workforce or operational HR change—you will bring a strong track record of delivering to fixed timelines in complex environments. Confidence in holding senior owners to account, paired with solid project management foundations such as Prince2 or Agile Change (beneficial but not essential), ensures a clear focus on outcomes and delivery.
This role hybrid, with flexibility around home working and travel to Elysium sites when required.
