We’re looking for an experienced Project Delivery Lead to play a key role in a large-scale business transformation programme, with Salesforce at its core. This is not a purely IT-focused role - the programme will impact people, processes, and ways of working across the organisation.

You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and external delivery partners, owning delivery from a fast-paced discovery phase through to full implementation. This is a hands-on role for someone who actively drives delivery, manages risk early, and ensures outcomes are achieved in a complex, multi-workstream environment.

This role requires someone who is up for a challenge and has been in challenging, fast paced environments. You could secure yourself a long project that could see you work across different work streams, not just this Salesforce project.

• Proven experience as a Project Manager or Delivery Lead on large-scale transformation programmes
• Good understanding of Salesforce implementations and enterprise system landscapes is good but other ERP/CRMs is also good.
• Comfortable engaging in technical discussions around systems, integrations, and automation
• Experience working in Agile / iterative delivery environments
• Strong vendor and third-party management experience
• Proven ability to manage budgets, forecasts, and invoice sign-off
• Confident communicator who proactively escalates risks and issues
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving programmes with multiple work streams

• Take accountability for delivery of a Salesforce transformation workstream within a wider programme
• Lead a 4-month discovery phase, producing a detailed implementation plan, cost model, and target architecture
• Own delivery through to implementation, ensuring agreed outcomes are met
• Manage delivery partners, ensuring commitments are delivered against plan
• Create and maintain clear project plans, schedules, and dependencies
• Proactively manage risks, issues, and change requests, escalating where required
• Track and manage project budgets, providing transparent financial updates
• Produce and share regular project status and highlight reports
• Work closely with business, IT, and change teams to coordinate delivery activities
• Support a collaborative, delivery-focused culture with minimal bureaucracy
