About the role

Throughout 2017 and 2018, we are planning a number of transformative IT projects, including a large-scale network configuration and refresh, the migration of Exchange to 0365 and an upgrade of core elements of the Microsoft technology stack. You will help make sure these projects are successfully delivered by taking responsibility for their direction, coordination, implementation and control.

This will mean doing everything from defining project scope to managing budgets and resource allocation to evaluating results. Another key part of the role will be to develop our project & programme management capability more generally, particularly in terms of improving project processes and documentation.

Specific areas of experience we are looking for include programme, people, risk and change management. The ability to make decisions under pressure is important, as are critical thinking and problem-solving skills. You’ll also need to be an effective and adaptable communicator, who can negotiate with and influence people in all kinds of different contexts.
