Are you a business change professional, used to ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget, that the project's objectives are met and that everyone is delivering to a plan you have set out? Do you have the leadership, and experience, to pull cross functional teams together to deliver complex projects with a common goal within tight timescales, and invariably with competing priorities?

We're on the hunt for an experienced, and driven, project manager to deliver several multiple stream integrations – taking acquired businesses and centralising their systems and processes.

Integrations will vary in depth from one acquired business to another – some businesses retaining their own identity whilst others being fully merged into another established brand. You will be highly experienced handling multiple functional streams, managing and influencing a project team and the wider business, as well as interested parties. You will be a meticulous planner, as well as determined to ensure your project stays on track and delivers to agreed timescales and budgets.

Your responsibilities include:
* Lead the team to deliver our business integrations
* Agree project objectives across Finance, Tech, Sales, Product and Marketing, Service and people streams
* Create project plan for the above, including detailed technical integration plans
* Establish and streamline all work systems and operational processes
* Ensure the right structure is in place for the integration to succeed, making difficult changes where needed
* Manage the project delivery team, as well as liaise closely with functional leads, to deliver projects goals
* Ensure that all the aims of the project are met
* Use of systems and clear reporting tools to keep track of people and progress – Evaluation of the success of the project against its benchmarking and sharing lessons or best practice for future integrations
* Assist in recruitment of different functional specialists as required
* Oversee the Financial aims of the project
* Regular reporting to the steering committee
* Work with members of the management team who will be aligned with your goals, and focused on helping you to succeed

* You are highly effective in the Analysis and Delivery of Change to support both strategic goals and operational needs, whilst minimising risk and maximising benefits

* Proven ability to build strong relationships, internally and externally, working with Board Directors, Leadership Teams, Business Clients, Suppliers, Financial Partners and Shareholders

* Enjoy being out and about, and comfortable staying away from home to really get involved in, and deliver, your project
* You enjoy juggling multiple projects at once – while constantly driving for high performance, of course!
