Senior project manager

Southend-on-Sea
Linking Humans
Project manager
Posted: 2 February
Offer description

This role is about making integration work in the real world, not just on paper.

You’ll be leading the integration of an established Irish organisation into a UK-led service operations model. The Irish business has operated independently for years, with its own leadership dynamics, ways of working, and ServiceNow environment. From mid-year, it transitions into a single operating model.

The technical platform consolidation is being delivered by a third party. Your focus is on everything around it. People, behaviours, governance, decision making, and ensuring the integration feels intentional rather than imposed.

This is not a delivery-by-spreadsheet role. It requires judgement, presence, and the ability to spot tension early and address it constructively.

Why this role stands out
* Human-centred integration
The success of this programme hinges on trust, alignment, and how change is handled, not just process compliance.

* Meaningful stakeholder engagement
You will spend time on site in Ireland early on to build strong relationships with senior leadership, before moving into a steady travel rhythm.

* Real ownership and influence
You will work closely with senior programme leadership, with clear accountability for outcomes rather than task execution.

* High-growth consulting environment
Join a young but experienced consultancy built by leaders with a strong track record of scaling complex delivery organisations.

What you’ll be responsible for
* Owning and driving the end-to-end integration plan across service operations and governance

* Shaping and delivering a clear change narrative that brings teams with you

* Managing senior stakeholders across UK and Ireland with sensitivity and credibility

* Coordinating closely with the ServiceNow delivery partner to ensure non-technical impacts are addressed

* Identifying friction early and resolving issues pragmatically without unnecessary escalation

* Maintaining strong programme discipline across risks, dependencies, decisions, and communications

What we’re looking for

Essential

* 10+ years’ experience as a Senior Project Manager leading complex change or integration programmes

* Proven ability to operate in politically complex, multi-entity environments

* Strong understanding of service operations and infrastructure-led organisations

* Excellent programme hygiene across RAID, governance, stakeholder management, and decision making

* Comfortable leading the people side of integration and change

* British citizenship with full right to work in the UK

Nice to have

* Experience with M&A or post-acquisition integrations

* Exposure to ServiceNow environments

* Background in regulated or enterprise-scale organisations

Contract details
* Initial contract with strong likelihood of extension

* Start ASAP

* London-based with regular travel to Ireland, particularly in the early phase

* Travel and expenses covered

* IR35 status to be confirmed

If you’re a senior project manager who thrives in complex, people-led integration work and wants genuine ownership rather than just delivery oversight, this is worth a conversation.
