• Ahoy there....Senior Project Manager needed!!
  
• Exciting projects - new ones plus enhancements to existing ones.
• Minimum 12 months fixed term
  

Whilst successful delivery is essential, you'll also need to be degree qualified and you'll also need PM qualifications such as a Prince2 and MSP practitioner or higher (or equivalent).  These projects are progressing in an Agile environment, so Agile experience would also be advantageous.

Whilst not absolutely essential as we're after capability, it's likely you'll have a minimum of 10-15 years direct work experience in a project management capacity, including all aspects of process development and execution.

This is a complex and challenging business environment with a wide range of business, sector specialist, and "technical" stakeholders whose unique needs must be understood and catered for.  The "go-lives" to date has been successful and part of the roles is ensure that any issues post future "go lives" are dealt with, and that the enhancements are also successfully delivered within specification and agreed timelines - and budgets.  Experience in large mutli-dimensional projects is essential as would be experience in the public sector.

In particular, you'll need strong persuasive and clear communication skills, both with the written word, as well as verbal, as the complexities of the project are not for the faint-hearted!  Coupled with that are the various physical locations throughout the region, expectations, and variations in stakeholder culture requirements.

This client wants to ensure that the enhancements to the project are delivered with the least possible "challenges" and as such, an excellent remuneration will be paid for the best available skills.

If you've got the skills, are available, or coming available, then click on "apply" and follow our registration process, marking your application to the attention of Kevin Chappell.  You can also contact me on 0295-974739 to discuss more detail.
