Senior Project Manager

We are Unit4, a leading provider of enterprise applications empowering people in service organizations. We are on a mission because we no longer accept the digital downgrade that people experience when they swap their personal devices for their work ones. We create business software that fits the way people work, not the other way around. Help us be the best and join us!

Due to continued growth we are looking for a Senior Project Manager to manage multiple implementation projects of our market-leading solutions. The successful candidate can be based remotely in the UK, with regular travel required to our client's sites.

As a Senior Project Manager you will be responsible for the overall direction, coordination, implementation, execution and completion of Unit4 Business World and Unit4 Financials implementations to meet the customer objectives and goals.

PMs develop the plan to manage and drive the Unit4 team, customer Stakeholders and potentially other third parties to achieve the agreed goals while understanding the client environment and any limitations to execution.

Leverage your management and leadership capabilities to successfully deliver to your team(s) plan, proactively identify and manage risks, resolve issues and escalate where appropriate to drive projects to successful completion, while exceeding customer expectations.
