The role

We are looking for an experienced Transformation Project Manager with a strong background in business systems migration and integration, to join our team. The successful candidate will oversee the planning, implementation, and management of a variety of systems delivery projects as we consolidate over 25 different business entities into single group-wide toolsets.

Following significant investment late 2022, the group is now consolidating the various business units, which in turn requires the migration off a raft of different tools for existing teams. The main focus of this role will be to facilitate the management and co-ordination, project tracking and stakeholder management for the following core systems:

- ITSM (FreshService)

- ERP (NetSuite) to also include:

o NetSuite CRM

o Zone Billing

o SuiteProjects

The ideal candidate will have delivered similar projects with a demonstrable record and/or suitable references, and ideally this would have included NetSuite in similar sized organisations. Familiarity with ITSM tooling is also advantageous, and in particular experience with FreshService.

Key Responsibilities 

• Plan and manage existing projects and new, ensuring adherence to project timelines, budgets, and quality standards.

• Develop detailed project plans, including timelines, resource allocation, and any risk management planning and/or change control where needed.

• Where applicable, manage project budgets, including tracking expenses, forecasting costs, and reporting variances to stakeholders.

• Ensure all project documentation is up-to-date, including project plans, status reports, and change management documentation.

Key Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in relevant project management, with a strong understanding of systems architecture and NetSuite ERP and CRM

• Proven track record of managing complex business systems / application delivery projects, including managing budgets, schedules, risks, and stakeholders.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and address issues and obstacles in a timely manner.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Non-essential Requirements
