Hours: Permanent | Full-Time (Office-based)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Project Manager to join a growing organisation and take ownership of a portfolio of internal business change, operational improvement and systems-based projects.

Rather than stepping into a perfectly polished PMO environment with every process already in place, you'll have the opportunity to bring your experience, introduce structure and help shape how projects are managed across the wider business.

You'll work closely with senior stakeholders and teams across the organisation, taking projects from initial idea and planning right through to successful delivery.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead internal business change, transformation and operational improvement projects from initiation to completion
• Define project scope, objectives, timelines, deliverables and success measures
• Develop and maintain effective project plans, governance and reporting
• Manage project risks, issues, dependencies and change throughout delivery
• Work closely with senior stakeholders, department heads and cross-functional teams
• Influence and challenge stakeholders where required to keep projects moving
• Provide clear and proactive project updates to senior leadership
• Coordinate project teams and workstreams across multiple functions
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, systems and operational efficiency
• Introduce greater structure and consistency to project delivery
• Help develop and embed project management best practice across the organisation
• Manage multiple projects and competing priorities in a fast-moving environment
• Adapt priorities and resources as business requirements evolve
• Travel between business locations as required

• Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously
• The ability to work effectively across different departments and functions
• A pragmatic, hands-on approach to project delivery
• The confidence to operate in an environment where processes and governance are still developing
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills

Experience within logistics, warehousing, fulfilment, supply chain or wider operational environments would be highly advantageous.

The role can be based from either:

East Grinstead, West Sussex or Northampton

There is flexibility around your base location, however regular travel to other business locations will be required.

What's on Offer?

-Salary of up to £54,000 DOE
-Permanent position
-Opportunity to work on varied, business-critical change projects
-Exposure to senior leadership and multiple areas of the organisation
