Overview

About the Role 

The Project Manager reports to the Senior Project Manager within the Change Delivery team of IT Services department. Primary responsibility of Project Manager is delivery of projects from IT Enabling Plan which supports Queen Mary University of London Strategy 2030.   

As part of the Change Delivery Team, this role is responsible for effective stakeholder management and customer centric delivery through proactive management of risks and issues.   

About You 

You will support and shape change delivery projects (enabled by IT) for a Faculty or function. However due to the highly inter-connected QM operating model you will be expected to develop a good knowledge of QM student and staff operating model, key systems and processes underpinning operational integrity. 

You will have the ability to see the big picture and think strategically, analyse challenges and IT delivery options and be able to translate them into actionable deliverables (be it project outcome or BAU resolutions) and drive them to completion.   

You can think commercially and strategically – quickly assess and quantify short- and long-term impact of changes, deal with ambiguity and uncertainty and be able to evaluate options to meet business expectations and provide maximum value. You will be required to assist and guide change agents and IT Managers to co-ordinate their own departments for an optimal implementation.
