Lead complex transformation programmes with the autonomy to shape delivery, influence senior stakeholders and take ownership of the commercial outcome.
A major global Microsoft partner is looking for a consulting-led Senior Project Manager to deliver ambitious business transformation projects. Combining the backing of an established international business with deep Microsoft expertise, this is an opportunity to take on substantial client engagements and help organisations turn technology investment into meaningful business change.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations sits at the heart of the role, with opportunities to lead connected initiatives across customer engagement, data, AI, automation and Azure. You will bring the judgement to connect these workstreams, manage their dependencies and keep delivery focused on the outcomes that matter to the client.
The Opportunity
You will own the delivery of complex client engagements, building trusted relationships with sponsors and leading multidisciplinary teams from mobilisation through to go-live, adoption and transition into support. Your remit will cover delivery strategy, stakeholder alignment, project financials, scope and change control. You will be trusted to make decisions, challenge assumptions and bring clarity when priorities compete.
The work can span finance and operational transformation, wider business process change and the integration of Microsoft platforms across an organisation. Alongside Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management, projects may involve Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement applications, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric, Azure and emerging Copilot and AI agent capabilities.
You will work with specialists across these technologies, translating technical complexity into clear choices about business value, cost, risk and delivery.
What you will lead:
Consulting and client relationships
Build credibility with executive sponsors, business leaders and technology stakeholders, becoming a trusted delivery partner throughout the engagement.
Understand the business case, organisational context and measures of success, and use them to guide delivery decisions.
Lead steering committees and difficult conversations with clear recommendations, transparent reporting and a practical route forward.
Navigate competing priorities across functions, regions and delivery partners, securing decisions and maintaining accountability.
Delivery and team leadership
Shape delivery approaches, governance, plans and resourcing around the scale and complexity of each engagement.
Lead multidisciplinary teams across functional consulting, architecture, engineering, integration, data, testing and business change.
Own milestones, dependencies, risks and recovery plans across the full delivery lifecycle.
Ensure data migration, integration, testing, business readiness and cutover are planned together, with clear ownership and acceptance criteria.
Create an environment where teams raise issues early, resolve problems constructively and take pride in delivery.
Commercial ownership and change control
Own project budgets, forecasts, resource plans and margin performance, with a clear view of actual costs and the cost to complete.
Manage delivery against statements of work, contractual commitments, assumptions, client obligations and acceptance milestones.
Establish disciplined change control, making the impact of scope decisions on fees, timelines, resources and outcomes visible.
Negotiate changes constructively with clients, protecting the relationship and the commercial health of the engagement.
Support proposals, estimates and mobilisation, ensuring commitments are achievable and the transition from sales into delivery is well managed.
Business change and lasting value
Keep adoption, operational readiness and benefits in view throughout delivery.
Work with client leaders and change specialists to align communications, training, process ownership and new ways of working.
