IT Project Manager

Are you someone who loves getting under the bonnet of an IT system that should work better than it does? We're looking for a proactive IT Systems & Data Manager to take ownership of our group's technology and data - ensuring systems perform, data is accurate, and management reports are meaningful.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can spot inefficiencies, put better processes in place and isn't afraid to challenge existing ways of working.

• What development / software methodologies (e.g. Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, DevOps) have you used, and which do you prefer? Why?
• When a project's scope changes mid-development, how do you assess impact and manage the change with stakeholders, deadlines, and the dev team?
• In a project you've managed, how did you ensure that data entered by your team was accurate and delivered on time? And if you noticed recurring errors or delays, how did you persuade or motivate the team to improve data quality and timeliness?
• Are you happy being office based 4 days per week?
• Do you live within a reasonable commute to Rossendale?
