• Approximately 3 month project
  
• Specialised software implementation
  
• Hands-on end-to-end PM needed!
  

Recent decisions in their business planning means that this project has now become a key part of their forward strategy, and with large new projects looming, having the system to ensure success has become their number one priority.

So you'll be an experienced Senior Project Manager who can pick up a project at any stage and drive it forward to successful implementation.  You will of course have the prerequisite tertiary qualifications and likely be PRINCE2 or PMI qualified, plus have experience across a broad range of "software sectors".  Whilst not essential, if you had experience in construction, FM, asset management, or procurement ERP implementation, then that would certainly be helpful.  However, the key this client is looking for is strong and successful PM skills.

If this sounds like you, then please submit an application by clicking on apply and attaching an up-to-date CV and cover letter - both in Word format please.  For more information and a confidential discussion, please contact Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739.

PLEASE NOTE THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A CONTRACT ROLE REQUIRING AN EARLY START, ONLY THOSE CURRENTLY IN NZ, AND ABLE TO WORK IN NZ, WILL BE CONSIDERED.  THOSE NOT FULFILLING THESE CRITERIA ARE UNLIKELY TO BE RESPONDED TO.

• Organisation-wide ERP project across all disciplines
  
• Highly cohesive organisation subject to change
• Strong focus on people transition

This client has embarked on an organisational-wide ERP transformation programme of work that covers all disciplines and specialist areas. Lead out of the finance area, it is commercially focused with a definitive stakeholder and customer emphasis.  So whilst we need strong IT knowledge, this is not a technology-focused role, but more about the processes, the people, the external relationships, and facilitating change and transition from a PM perspective.

Therefore we need strong people change management capability, plus the ability to identify business processes, and directing and relating back to the technical specialists, and essentially programme managing the project in all directions.   You will also need to demonstrate a high level of experience developing vendor relationships where issues were minimised and the relationships enhanced through the implementation process, and post implementation.

You will need to demonstrate a track record of management of projects and teams within a complex entity, where you have interacted with all levels of stakeholders, from finance through to specialist and technical operations within.  It would be unlikely that you didn't have tertiary qualifications, supported by formal project management qualifications, such as PMP or Prince2.

Ideally this will kick off after the holiday break in early 2020, so those finishing projects at the end of this year would be encouraged to make contact. And if you're available now, then this could secure a big chunk of work and allow you to relax over the break!  The fixed term nature of the role compares it to a permanent role, but as with these types of programmes of work, is through until full implementation which is estimated at the end of 2021.

On offer is excellent remuneration, with flexibility to attract the highest calibre.

So if this appeals, then please click on the “apply” link to register your interest and attach your CV, all documents in Word please.

Please ensure you attach a Cover Letter detailing how your experience matches the requirements of the role, or adapt your CV to demonstrate your suitability.

Please direct any enquiries to Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. AS THIS REQUIRES A STRONG PEOPLE FOCUS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE, UNLESS YOU HAVE WORKED IN A SIMILAR COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT TO NZ, THIS ROLE WILL NOT SUIT.

2.  ONLY THOSE CURRENTLY IN NZ WILL BE CONSIDERED.  APOLOGIES TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE WILL NOT BE IN CONTACT IN THIS INSTANCE.
