Transform how an organisation works, collaborates, and makes decisions.

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Project Manager to lead a high-impact, service-wide transformation project that will fundamentally improve how information is managed, accessed, and trusted across the organisation.

Lead meaningful change – drive both technical delivery and organisational culture change, improving digital confidence across teams.

Work at scale – deliver a phased rollout across the whole organisation, influencing stakeholders at every level, including senior leadership.

The role 

As Project Manager, you will:

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of a structured, multi-phase project (document governance, migration, adoption, and assurance).
• Establish robust document management standards and governance frameworks
• Oversee large-scale migration to new ways of working and seek to rationalisation of content held.
• Drive engagement, training, and cultural change to improve adoption and digital capability.
• Manage risks, dependencies, and stakeholders across a complex organisational landscape.

• Leading transformation projects that combine technology, process, and people change
• Working in complex environments with multiple stakeholders
• Turning ambiguity into clear, structured delivery plans
• Creating lasting impact and delivering continuous improvement

• Understanding of enterprise document management systems (e.g. SharePoint architecture, permissions, metadata structures).
• Ability to lead, manage, motivate and develop others in a project management team environment and in the wider service.
• Ability to supervise and co-ordinate projects, workstreams, working groups, task and finish groups and individuals.
• Ability to delegate work to others, setting clear performance expectations and measuring of outputs/outcomes.
• Ability to communicate complex information both orally and in writing in a clear, concise and articulate way to a wide range of audiences, with due regard for confidentiality at all times.
• Ability to engage, interact and communicate effectively with a wide range of partner agencies and third party suppliers, including delivery of presentations up to and including Chief Executive level.
• Experience of implementation of MS SharePoint or other Enterprise document management system, development of training and support to ensure effective use of the toolset
