IT Program Manager – EPOS Transformation
📍 Nottingham (3 days onsite minimum)
📄 6-month initial contract (high likelihood of extension)
💼 Inside IR35
Overview
We are delivering a major EPOS replacement and retail systems transformation within a large, complex retail organisation.
This is not a standard POS upgrade — it is a multi-year, £20m+ transformation programme spanning core retail systems, integrations, and supply chain improvements.
Currently in the planning and design phase, the programme will run for approximately 18–24 months. We are seeking a delivery-focused IT Project Manager to take ownership of the IT workstream and drive execution through to delivery.
Key Responsibilities
* Own end-to-end IT project delivery for the EPOS transformation workstream
* Define and manage delivery plans, roadmap, sequencing, and dependencies
* Track and control budgets, costs, and financial governance
* Coordinate delivery across multiple IT domains, including:
* EPOS replacement
* Stock management / inventory systems
* Integration with new and existing core platforms
* Work closely with architecture and engineering teams (exposure to HLD, not hands-on design)
* Manage third-party vendors and internal stakeholders
* Ensure alignment with programme milestones and business objectives
* Operate effectively within a large-scale, enterprise IT environment
Key Requirements
* Proven track record delivering large-scale (£20m+) IT programmes
* Strong background as a core IT Project Manager (delivery-focused, not change/comms-led)
* Experience in retail systems and/or supply chain environments
* Excellent planning, governance, and cost control capability
* Experience managing multiple workstreams, vendors, and complex dependencies
* Comfortable working onsite and embedded within delivery teams
Nice to Have
* EPOS / POS transformation experience
* Experience working within large retail organisations
* Exposure to end-to-end retail operations or supply chain systems
Not in Scope
* Change communications
* Training delivery
* Organisational change management
Why Join
* Business-critical transformation with high visibility
* Long-term programme with strong extension potential
* Opportunity to lead a core IT workstream within a £20m+ initiative
* Stable, structured delivery environment
