Interim Project Lead / Manager
Outside IR35 | London hybrid | Immediate / short notice preferred
I’m supporting an organisation with a business-critical operational efficiency programme and looking for an interim Project Lead who can come in quickly and create grip.
This role would suit someone who has worked in SME / mid-sized environments where you need to be practical, adaptable and able to get things done without lots of corporate machinery around you. Candidates need exposure to IT & Digital projects.
The role:
* Lead delivery across a multi-workstream operational efficiency programme
* Bring structure, pace and accountability to a complex environment
* Create clear plans, actions, risks, dependencies and reporting
* Work closely with senior stakeholders across the business
* Coordinate activity across technology, data, engagement and governance workstreams
* Keep people moving and follow up properly
* Challenge blockers, risks and delivery quality where needed
* Work with technical teams and suppliers, without needing to be deeply technical
* Help take pressure off senior leaders quickly
Key experience:
* Project / delivery leadership
* Operational efficiency or business change
* Technology-enabled change
* CRM, Salesforce, data or business systems exposure
* Stakeholder management
* Supplier / third-party management
* Governance, RAID, reporting and action tracking
* Experience working in ambiguous or messy environments
* SME / mid-sized business experience highly relevant
This is not a heavy programme framework role. They need someone pragmatic, hands-on and commercially aware who can bring the right level of structure and get things moving quickly.
