Senior Manager, Project Management (Transitions)
We are seeking a Senior Manager, Project Management (Transitions) to lead complex transition programmes from planning through to successful implementation. This role will oversee the mobilisation and transfer of services, operations, processes, and teams, ensuring that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with agreed objectives. You will manage multiple workstreams, establish clear governance, and provide visible leadership across internal teams, clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
Key responsibilities include developing detailed transition strategies, plans, schedules, risk registers, budgets, and reporting frameworks; coordinating readiness activities and ensuring that dependencies, issues, and decisions are actively managed; and maintaining strong control over scope, quality, resources, and timelines. You will lead project teams through discovery, design, testing, implementation, stabilisation, and handover to business-as-usual operations. The role will also involve facilitating workshops, preparing executive-level updates, monitoring key performance indicators, and ensuring that all transition activities meet relevant operational, regulatory, security, and compliance requirements.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience leading large-scale transitions, transformations, implementations, or operational change programmes within a complex, multi-stakeholder environment. A strong track record of delivering projects from initiation to completion is essential, together with excellent commercial, organisational, analytical, and problem-solving skills. You will be confident managing competing priorities, influencing senior stakeholders, and communicating clearly at all levels. Experience with structured project management methodologies, service transition, process improvement, and change management is highly desirable. A recognised project management qualification, such as PRINCE2, PMP, or equivalent, would be advantageous. Above all, you will bring a collaborative leadership style, a strong focus on delivery, and the ability to create clarity and momentum in fast-changing environments.
