We’re looking for an experienced Transformation Project Manager to lead delivery across two technology projects for a large international organisation.
You’ll split your time across two projects, working with engineering, architecture, product, design and business teams to keep delivery on track, manage dependencies and provide clear reporting to senior stakeholders.
The projects
Technology Modernisation
A programme of platform and service modernisation, including cloud migration, microservices and data warehouse migration to Snowflake.
Design System
A large-scale design system and product migration, involving the consolidation of components and migration of multiple products, followed by stabilisation and further adoption.
The role
You’ll be responsible for:
Managing integrated project plans, milestones and delivery schedules
Coordinating technical and cross-functional teams
Managing risks, issues, dependencies and changes
Tracking delivery, resources and forecasts
Running project meetings, planning sessions and governance
Providing clear progress updates to senior stakeholders
Supporting testing, release and operational readiness
Keeping multiple workstreams aligned as priorities change
What we’re looking for
Proven experience managing complex technology or digital projects
Strong stakeholder management across technical and business teams
Experience managing dependencies, risks, issues, schedules and resources
Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and producing concise reporting
Experience with Agile or other iterative delivery approaches
Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence or MS Project
Able to manage multiple projects/workstreams at the same time without losing sight of detail
Experience of cloud/platform modernisation, data migration, design systems, component libraries or product migration would be highly relevant.
Experience within publishing, research, information services or other data-heavy environments would also be useful.
