Information Technology Project Manager

Elevation Recruitment Group's Technology & Transformation team has partnered with a major national business to appoint an experienced IT Project Manager at their head office.

If you're a project manager who thrives on owning delivery from the very first conversation, this one is worth a look. You won't be handed neatly packaged projects to administer - you'll pick up business change initiatives at concept stage, sit with the business to shape what's actually needed, and carry them all the way through planning, delivery, training, service transition and benefits realisation. The work is varied and rarely repeated: business change with technology underneath, spanning system configuration, process improvement and transformation across a large, multi-site organisation.

It's a lean, autonomous environment. You'll source and secure your own project resources, own your plans, and deal directly with senior stakeholders - presenting to and influencing leadership at the highest levels of the business. A light-touch PMO supports the bigger projects, but delivery sits firmly with you.

Day to day, you'll:

• Run several concurrent business and technology change projects, each one end to end
• Lead requirements gathering and business analysis with stakeholders right across the organisation
• Own robust project plans, RAID logs and governance documentation
• Manage budgets, suppliers and cross-functional resources
• Deliver training, own service transition and put benefits measurement in place
• Drive organisational change across a geographically dispersed business

You'll need to bring:

• A track record of delivering multiple business change projects end to end, in-house within a private sector organisation - and the ability to operate at that level from day one
• Genuine strength in project governance, documentation and senior stakeholder management within a structured environment
• The confidence and credibility to influence, and where needed challenge, leadership independently
• Comfort working with real autonomy in a self-serve delivery setting
• A recognised project management qualification (APM, PMI or IPM preferred; strong PRINCE2 Practitioners considered)
• Technology literacy and the ability to translate tech for a business audience, with a flexible, hybrid approach to methodology
• Construction or housebuilding experience is a plus, but by no means essential

The process is quick: a 30-minute Teams call, then a single face-to-face interview on site, with fast decisions.

This is a strong move for a South Yorkshire-based project manager currently travelling to Leeds or Sheffield who wants a shorter commute, genuine end-to-end ownership and a direct line to senior leadership in a household-name business.
