Are you looking to work term time only in an IT project management position?

Due to increasing workload, Surrey County Council’s IT & Digital Project Delivery Team have a vacancy for an IT Project Manager.

As an experienced project manager, you will deliver several concurrent IT projects to support major IT related change initiatives across the Authority. These are delivered using internal staff, contractors, and third-party suppliers.

The IT&D Project Delivery Team is part of the Architecture, Transition and Projects Group responsible for delivering major IT&D business solutions across all services of the Authority and several external partners. The team comprises of several Project Managers, supported by a Technical Delivery Team.

About the role

Our project managers are at the centre of a major transformation programme to deliver IT solutions that make the Authority’s staff more mobile, flexible and responsive, providing them with the ability to work in partnership with colleagues, other public bodies, agencies and residents, using a variety of IT devices, tools and applications.

Working with Heads of Services, Business Partners and other key stakeholders, you will develop and agree projects briefs, PIDs, and project and resource plans, and be responsible for the day-to-day management of projects, while ensuring completion to agreed cost, time and quality criteria. This will often involve working and negotiating with external suppliers, as well as management of a virtual project team.

About you

You must be an experienced PRINCE 2 project manager with experience of managing large budgets. As a recognised expert in the theory and practice of project management you will develop good project management expertise in others and enhance project management processes in the organisation.

You will manage virtual project teams and will therefore have good communication, engagement and organisation skills together with credibility in the role.

The post requires strong influencing skills and the ability to bring together project sponsors (usually senior managers), expert advisers, external consultants, contractors, and end users to form an effective team focussed on delivery of the programme.

East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council, and Surrey County Council collaborate on several business services and therefore the successful postholder needs to be flexible in terms of working across these organisations as project demands arise.
