  • Driving continuous improvement across project methodologies, tools and delivery processes

  • Producing executive-level reporting and presenting programme status to senior stakeholders

  • Leading, mentoring and motivating project teams to achieve exceptional customer outcomes

Requirements

You’ll be someone who thrives on responsibility, enjoys solving complex challenges and can confidently operate at both strategic and detailed levels.

We’re particularly interested in people who can bring:

  • Experience managing large, complex programmes with significant budgets, multiple workstreams and numerous stakeholder groups

  • At least one full lifecycle project lasting 2-3 years with £1M+ value

  • Strong commercial awareness including change control, milestone management and project financials

  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills, from operational teams through to board-level executives

  • Prince2 Practitioner certification.

  • Strong leadership capability within matrix-managed environments

  • An organised, calm and structured approach to project delivery

What’s in it for you?

  • Fully remote working with occasional NHS customer visits

  • Opportunity to lead high-profile healthcare technology programmes

  • Visible impact on healthcare delivery and patient services

  • Exposure to complex, enterprise-scale implementations

  • A collaborative and supportive professional environment

  • Strong career development opportunities within a growing healthcare technology organisation

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitve salary and comprehensive company benefits

  • The satisfaction of knowing your work ultimately contributes to improving services for healthcare professionals and patients across the UK.

About the company

Help deliver technology that genuinely makes a difference to patient care.

There are very few project management roles where the outcomes of your work can have such a direct impact on clinicians, hospitals and ultimately patients.

This is an opportunity to lead the delivery of complex healthcare software programmes that sit at the heart of NHS operations. Every successful implementation helps healthcare professionals work more efficiently, improves access to critical information and supports better patient outcomes.

If you’re an experienced software vendor-side Project Manager who enjoys leading large-scale enterprise projects, navigating complexity and building lasting client relationships, this role offers both professional challenge and genuine personal reward.

Why this opportunity stands out

This isn’t simply about delivering software on time and on budget. It’s about partnering with NHS organisations to modernise critical services through technology that healthcare professionals rely upon every single day.

You’ll work alongside talented delivery, product and technical teams to implement solutions that support clinicians and healthcare organisations across the UK. The projects are substantial, highly visible and genuinely mission-critical.

The successful candidate will join an organisation that is continually investing in innovation and technology, offering the opportunity to work on programmes that have real-world impact whilst developing your own career within a growing global healthcare technology environment.
