Are you a strategic thinker with a talent for leading complex projects and delivering exceptional results? A leading brand within the Retail / Hospitality sector is looking for a Senior IT Project Manager to lead a small team of 4 and spearhead transformative projects that drive real business impact.

In this role, you'll take charge of high-profile initiatives, overseeing the full project lifecycle from strategy to execution.

With your expertise, you'll drive change, inspire teams, and deliver outstanding outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading complex projects and transformation initiatives with confidence and precision across the entirety of the IT function; ERP, Software Development, Infrastructure and more.
• Leading some of your own more complex Projects, while providing coaching and oversight to others in the team in the delivery of theirs.
• Providing valuable insight to the ITLT on the status of all Projects within the IT Portfolio.
• Managing stakeholders across the UK and global teams to ensure alignment.
• Developing and maintaining detailed project plans, budgets, and timelines.
• Leading and mentoring a high-performing project team to deliver success.
• Identifying risks, solving challenges, and ensuring smooth project delivery.
• Ensuring high standards, compliance, and best-practice implementation.

What We're Looking For:

• Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager, delivering complex, high-impact projects and leading and coaching others.
• Strong expertise in project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) and tools such as Jira or Microsoft Project.
• A solid technical background, with experience in customization, configuration, and integration Projects.
• Ability to thrive in an international environment, working across global teams.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• A project management certification (APM or equivalent) would be a plus.

This role is offered on a hybrid basis, with offices based in the South of Manchester / North Macclesfield area.

There is a significant transformation agenda for the coming 12-24 months and so this promises to be an exciting, busy and transformative role.

Please apply today for immediate CV review, with interviews planned for early February.
