SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER Central London (West End) Financial Services & Wealth Management £(Apply online only) per day. Outside IR35. Hybrid Working Available Hunter Executive Search is delighted to be representing a dynamic financial services organisation based in Central London in search of a talented Project Manager. This is an exciting chance to become part of a growing team on an initial 6-month contract. The Project Manager role falls outside the scope of IR35 regulations, and offers a competitive day rate of £(Apply online only) per day. The selected Project Manager will be in charge of leading a large-scale post-implementation remediation and improvement project for the company's recently introduced HCM system, Workday. This project is a crucial element of the organisation's wider two-year transformative programme affecting the finance, HR, and IT departments. The process of change has been kicked off by the Chief Executive Officer, and has involved some rebranding of the business, a change in their contractual terms with the financial services clients, and changes in how their fees are changed. The HCM system / workday project has been part of this change process, and has been intended to improve how HR and finance engages with the business, as well as enabling more agility for staff and introducing HR self service capabilities. Having implemented Workday, there has been a sluggish uptake by staff and users in the new system, and further analysis suggests that the implementation has been mis-aligned. Therefore a remediation and adjustment of the Workday instance is required to make sure that the business optimises its investment, and the HCM system supports the wider change agenda. As a Project Manager, you will work closely with business, HR, finance, and technical teams to ensure the successful delivery of remediation and change initiatives. Effective communication as a Project Manager with stakeholders and end users is essential in aligning the Workday platform with the evolving needs of the business. Key Requirements: - Background in HR transformation project or programme management - Demonstrated success in project delivery, preferably with large user bases - Experience in managing large-scale post-implementation changes - Ability to handle projects in multiple locations - Proficient in engaging with system implementation (SI) partners - Knowledge of project management methodologies such as PRINCE2, Agile, and waterfall methodologies This role presents an amazing opportunity to have a significant impact on a crucial project within a forward-thinking organisation.
