The Business Improvement Team at our consultancy are looking to hire a consultant Project Manager to support the delivery of a strategically important project. The project is looking to implement a new website for a key education resourcing platform.
Whilst there is an existing website in existence, the incumbent provider is exiting the market, a new provider has been procured, and the project needs to be delivered. Following an initial proof of concept, the platform will also be developed to provide a ‘white-label’ solution to allow for future offer expansion and commercial growth.
The Role
The Project Manager will be required to:
- Successfully deliver the proof of concept and, following required approvals, the delivery of the full project to completion, within time and budget.
- Work with our internal team and the commissioned external provider.
- Provide technical challenge to the provider to give assurance as to their approach.
- Work within the company's project management framework, provide regular reporting updates on project progress.
- Manage risks and issues raised within the project, manage the project budget and maintain project documentation.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience delivering website with CMS (Content management system) implementations (preferably within recruitment, job boards, or eCommerce platforms).
- Strong track record of supplier management – able to push back, challenge, and ensure accountability.
- Someone comfortable working in a lean team environment – sleeves rolled up, pragmatic, and delivery-focused.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills – able to manage expectations and keep business teams engaged and drive project delivery.
