Excellent opportunity for a PMO Co-ordinator to join a team to support the delivery of a Dayforce HR & payroll implementation.
This role will be on a 2 years fixed-term contract and you will have experience in a similar role with a minimum of 2 years experience in an HR/payroll related project role.
The role:
The PMO oversees various aspects such as metrics, benchmarks, quality assurance, and documentation to ensure uniformity in managing and executing projects and programmes, giving direction, assistance, and a structure for project teams.
You will be part of a team delivering this strategic project, there is a requirement for someone with an open mind and the ability to recognise when flexibility is required, especially if it means the outcome is better or greater than sticking rigidly to the process.
The Project Co-ordinator is the custodian of accurate and up to date project information – supporting the gathering of information from the various project managers/leads.
