Purpose of Post

Are you an experienced Project Manager looking for a role that has a direct impact on business improvement through change in an
organisation that is in an active transformation period?

This post will support the Devonshire Group with delivery of three of these cross-group projects over the next eight months. Two
of them are system implementations that form part of the Devonshire Group's modernisation and efficiency improvement strategies.
The projects are in-flight, and will require detailed and hands-on project management - taking them both from system purchase and
contract to implementation.

The first project is to implement a group-wide EPOS system replacement - including stock management, gift vouchers and other
related systems/functions.

The second will implement a group-wide property management system replacement, potentially also including related functions such
as repairs and maintenance, health & safety and contractor management.

The third project will be one of our non-systems projects supporting the business through cross-functional project management -
co-ordinating with several internal and external stakeholders and workstreams, owning the central project budget, master
programme, project dependencies and stakeholder updates.

This is a full-time, hybrid working eight-month contract based out of the Chatsworth Estate office with the possibility to extend.

To succeed in this role you must be able to combine great Project Management skills with excellent stakeholder management and a
thorough knowledge of software system implementations.

You will have recent relevant experience on system implementation projects in a diverse organisation with multiple systems and
stakeholders and small project teams. You will have excellent organisation skills, and the ability to keep the project teams on
track with guidance and support, and hands-on involvement where necessary. You will have empathy and awareness of operational
business team priorities and pressures and relish the challenge of navigating the path to deliver a successful project with
positive engagement of all involved., Disability Confident
