Role Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Project Manager to lead complex, large-scale transformation initiatives. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of organizational change management expertise, IT delivery capability, and AI experience, underpinned by strong consulting foundations.

This role demands a strategic thinker who can navigate ambiguity, align stakeholders, and drive measurable outcomes in fast-paced environments.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead end-to-end project delivery across transformation programmes, ensuring scope, timeline, budget, and quality targets are met.
  • Design and execute change management strategies that drive adoption and minimize organizational resistance.
  • Oversee IT delivery workstreams, coordinating across technical teams, vendors, and business stakeholders.
  • Support the integration and adoption of AI-driven solutions, translating technical capabilities into business value.
  • Develop and maintain governance frameworks, risk registers, RAID logs, and project reporting structures.
  • Facilitate executive-level steering committees and cross-functional workshops.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior clients, providing strategic guidance and challenge where appropriate.
  • Manage interdependencies across workstreams and escalate risks proactively.
Required Skills & Experience
  • 10+ years of project/programme management experience, preferably within a consulting environment.
  • Proven track record in organizational change management - including stakeholder engagement, communications planning, training design, and adoption measurement.
  • Strong IT delivery background, with experience managing technology projects through full lifecycle (from requirements through to deployment and hypercare).
  • Demonstrated experience working on AI or data-driven transformation programmes - either implementing AI tools, managing AI product rollouts, or advising on AI adoption strategies.
  • Core consulting skills: structured problem solving, executive communication, client relationship management, and deliverable production.
  • Proficiency in project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid).
  • Strong risk management and issue resolution capabilities.
Preferred Qualifications
  • PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification.
  • Prosci ADKAR or equivalent change management certification.
  • Experience in a Big 4 or top-tier management consultancy.
  • Familiarity with AI platforms and tools (e.g. Microsoft Copilot, generative AI products, automation platforms).
  • Confident communicator with the ability to influence at C-suite level.
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Collaborative team player who can also lead and challenge constructively.
