As a Senior HR Project Manager on a 12month fixedterm contract, you’ll lead the endtoend delivery of the Rostering Programme and other key projects that shape how teams work across Elysium.

Bringing strong programme leadership, excellent organisation, and confidence in managing multiple complex work streams, you will be highly organised, methodical, and detail driven, with a strong bias to action that keeps momentum high in fastmoving and sometimes ambiguous environments.

You will actively project manage workstream owners and SMEs, ensuring clear plans, milestones, dependencies, and outputs are delivered on time and to standard. This includes holding senior stakeholders to account, managing slippage, escalating risks, and driving decisions where progress stalls.

Confidence in holding senior owners to account, paired with solid project management foundations such as Prince2 or Agile Change (beneficial but not essential), ensures a clear focus on outcomes and delivery.
