IT Project Manager Oracle Servers – 3 – 6 Month Contract – London - £550 per day Outside IR35
We’re working with a respected organisation undergoing a major technology transformation and are seeking an experienced IT Project Manager to lead a critical programme of work. This contract role, based in London, offers a six-month engagement focused on delivering a suite of infrastructure and application upgrades. It’s an ideal opportunity for a seasoned project consultant who thrives in technically complex environments and can confidently steer cross-functional teams to successful outcomes.
This is a delivery-focused role that will involve end-to-end responsibility for a major IT implementation project, including the deployment of new Oracle servers, migration of existing Oracle databases—complete with version upgrades—and the rollout of a new integrated business application. The successful candidate will be expected to drive planning, execution, testing, and post-deployment activities, ensuring each phase is delivered on time, within budget, and aligned with stakeholder expectations.
You will play a central role in defining the project scope, deliverables, and timelines in collaboration with internal teams and vendor partners. As a strong communicator and skilled organiser, you’ll coordinate daily activity across infrastructure, application, and testing workstreams while managing risks, resolving issues, and maintaining momentum throughout the delivery lifecycle.
This is not a hands-off role. You will be expected to engage directly with both technical teams and business users, managing detailed project plans, ensuring effective configuration and integration, and coordinating testing and remediation activities in collaboration with operational teams. You’ll also ensure project documentation, governance reporting, and knowledge transfer materials are developed and delivered as part of the project scope.
Strong stakeholder engagement is critical. You’ll regularly brief senior leadership and business sponsors on project progress, challenges, and dependencies, keeping communication open and aligned across the board. In addition, you’ll lead planning sessions, stand-ups, and reviews, driving a culture of accountability and visibility.
To succeed in this role, you’ll need a strong track record of managing infrastructure or enterprise application projects within a mid-to-large scale environment. A background in implementing server environments, database migrations, and working across both internal and vendor-delivered workstreams will be highly advantageous. Experience in handling governance, compliance, and risk management within technical projects is also essential.
Ideally, you’ll bring a recognised project management qualification such as PMP or PRINCE2, combined with hands-on experience using tools like Microsoft Project. A solid understanding of IT infrastructure fundamentals, coupled with an appreciation for service management (ITIL) and change control processes, will help you hit the ground running.
This is a challenging, high-visibility contract that offers a chance to work on a strategically significant project. If you're a driven IT Project Manager with the technical awareness and delivery skills to take ownership of complex initiatives, we want to hear from you.
