IT Project Manager

Description

The company distributes electrical and energy-efficient products and services worldwide, aiming to make homes, businesses and industries more comfortable, safe and secure.

You will join the IT and Digital team to help drive digital adoption across the business.

You will lead and deliver key digital initiatives across branches, supply chain hubs and customer networks, helping the business adopt new ways of working and build high-quality digital products and services.

The work moves quickly, so projects still need solid planning, governance and delivery in line with agreed processes.

You will work with internal functions, suppliers and third-party partners. Building trusted relationships and communicating clearly will be central to your success.

Responsibilities

• Set clear project plans, milestones, timelines and priorities.
• Lead projects following the agreed lifecycle, method and governance procedures.
• Track delivery against scope, time, budget, quality and business requirements.
• Build, manage and report on project budgets, making sure resources are used responsibly.
• Coordinate people, skills and capacity across cross-functional teams.
• Spot risks, issues, dependencies and opportunities, and put effective mitigation plans in place.
• Communicate clearly and promptly with project teams, stakeholders, customers, suppliers and partners.
• Ensure project paperwork, status reports and governance logs stay correct and up to date.
• Manage expectations and resolve concerns while building solid ties with stakeholders.
• Champion high-quality results that satisfy the agreed standards and what customers expect.
• Assess project changes and their impact, secure approvals and minimise disruption.
• Support procurement and supplier performance so goods and services arrive on time and meet requirements.
• Run lessons learned sessions and retrospectives to drive continuous improvement.
• Report progress through regular governance forums and support delivery of agreed objectives.

• Ideally, you bring:
• A track record of delivering projects with a recognised methodology.
• Exposure to digital, technology and omnichannel work in customer-centred businesses.
