Senior Project Manager, Business Operations, Strategic Change, HR, People & Culture, Business Outcomes, PMP, Prince 2, Agile, Big 4, Professional Services ONLY, Part Remote
Senior Project Manager required to work for a Professional Services business based in Central London. However, this will be based in the office 3 days per week, and the rest from home.
We need a good, seasoned Senior Project Manager with excellent communication skills (both verbal and written) and proven, seasoned Stakeholder Management skills. With regards to Stakeholder Management, we need someone who has worked in an environment where ‘time is precious’ and it is all about being effective in the time allocated when it comes to executing solutions.
When articulating your business stakeholder management experiences, they want personalised examples rather than cliché ones. Ones that they would not necessarily have heard before and that are personal to you…but good, strong ones of course.
The initial project you would be starting with would be with HR, People and Culture where you will be driving efficiencies and improving all-round processes. Once this project is over, you may move across to another vertical, so it is not a full-on HR Project Manager we are looking for. Experience in the area would simply help. However, Big 4 / Professional Services would over-power this, so we are only going to concentrate on candidates with this background. If you have both, you would be the dream candidate!
We want someone with the following:
·Professional Services experience is ESSENTIAL
·Appreciation this is NOT an IT Project Manager – it is a business facing one with a slant on technology – this is Operational Process driven
·Business related Stakeholder Management skills, not just technology ones
·Any HR, People and Culture Project experience would be a huge plus
·Proven experience with Business Stakeholders / Fee Earners who are very ‘time precious’
·Understanding of firm-wide and programme complexity, including lots of Change Management, Strategic Change etc
·Having PROVEN experience in a FULL project lifecycle – being there and seeing through a project from start to finish
·Analysing values and initiatives in order to apply the correct level of resource to each respective requirement / project – really understanding the value of change
·Ability to articulate the techniques you used and what YOU did – I was responsible for this…, I was responsible for that…, I influenced this…, I impacted the project in this way…LESS of WE
·Pure clarity on how to describe situations and outcomes
·Ability to map out plans, cost analysis, SWOT analysis etc
·Understanding of SDLC
·Leadership capabilities to assist in mentoring more Junior members of the team (Project Managers and Business Analysts)
This is a great opportunity and salary is dependent upon experience. Apply now for more details…
