My client is looking for an experienced Software Project Manager to join their corporate IS function to deliver the implementation of a very significant upgrade to some of their core business applications. The software has to be delivered by a fixed date, with absolutely no scope for extension, so we need someone who is confident operating in a high pressure environment & who has a track record of delivering mission critical systems on fixed timescales.

To succeed in this role you will be able to demonstrate the following skills and experiences:
- Min 10 years senior project management experience - NOT programme management - & being the kind of person who gets involved in the details of the projects to really understand the inter-dependencies & provide close leadership to the team.
- End-to-end project implementation in a complex software environment - where the software being implemented interfaces with a number of other core systems.
- Strong technical knowledge in the enterprise software space - certainly being able to challenge technical resources where necessary.
- Very strong knowledge of the testing & release stages of a project.
- Proven experience managing budgets & matrix teams.
- Excellent stake-holder management and communication skills at all levels.

Ideally you'll be able to demonstrate where you have delivered mission critical projects in a turn-around environment.

Please send CV for immediate consideration - many thanks in advance.
