Project Manager – Software Implementation
Remote
£60,000 - £80,000

I am working with a leading software company who are currently experiencing extremely quick growth and a variety of exciting customer engagements across a variety of sectors, to support this they require a Project Manager with experience in Software Consultancy Implementation to join their team.
  
What you will be doing
You will be working within a Professional Services team who are responsible for getting the company’s key SaaS product implemented and delivering value to their client base. As part of that implementation lifecycle there will be Requirements workshops, playbacks, sprints, business change, user acceptance testing, and finally a hand-off to support.
They underpin that process with a bunch of different practices and processes; we’re not wedded to a single methodology but rather to the mantra of continuous process improvement.
Depending upon the client initiative, implementations can be both big (10+ people in the project team) or small (part-time project team). At any point, they are running between 20 and 25 of these projects.
For their clients, success is quicker, more reliable, less costly implementations; easier business change, and happy users; together with quicker realisation of business benefits. For my client success looks much the same with the addition of ensuring the professional services function delivers consistent profitability to the overall business.
A role that encompasses

• Overall commercial accountability for a project
• Resource management responsibility across a portfolio of projects
• Working within the Service Delivery customer engagement process and driving continuous improvement
• Managing finances, planning, risk, and client stakeholders and relationships
• Proactively managing and communicating with clients to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction
• Collaborating with internal teams to maintain an ongoing understanding of features and functionality and translate the information into best practices for customers
