IT Project Manager

IntaPeople are pleased to be appointed to recruit an IT Project Manager for a thriving global manufacturing business. This is a permanent opportunity to join a well-established Digital Project Management Office, running SAP projects that support the business’s continued international growth.

You will take ownership of a portfolio of SAP projects on the business’s current SAP ECC platform, delivering roll-outs and improvements across its sites. The role takes over from an experienced project manager who is moving onto another programme internally, so you will benefit from a structured handover.

You will manage your projects independently, from scoping and planning through to delivery and closure, reporting to a Project Board and working closely with the business, IT and external partners.

Key responsibilities at a glance (further candidate pack available on request):

• Planning: Define and refine project scope, build detailed work plans and schedules, and secure the right resources.
• Delivery: Lead the project team day to day and deliver to agreed time, cost and quality.
• Reporting: Report on schedule, scope, financials and risks to the Project Board, and agree corrective actions.
• Stakeholder Management: Keep business and IT stakeholders aligned, manage scope changes and handle pushback diplomatically.
• Governance: Maintain project documentation, track the business case and manage project budgets
• Closure: Evaluate outcomes, release resources and produce closing reports.
• PMO Ambassador: Use and promote the PMO toolbox and share learning with the wider team.

• 3-5 years’ experience managing IT projects.
• Knowledge of SAP modules and SAP implementation or roll-out projects.
• PRINCE2 Foundation and/or Practitioner certification.
• Strong stakeholder management skills.
• International or cross-cultural project experience.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Agile certification or experience would be advantageous.
• Experience within manufacturing or supply chain environments would be advantageous.
