Full description

Purpose of the role

This role is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of technical and systems integration projects. The successful candidate will own these projects from business case through to live operation, working across IT, Finance, Supply Chain, Warehouse and Operations to translate business process requirements into working system solutions.

Key responsibilities

  • Plan and manage the full project lifecycle for technical and integration projects, from business case and requirements through to go-live and closure
  • Lead delivery of trade stock automation, including classification rules, stock movement logic and reconciliation between systems
  • Lead delivery of capex stock and asset register automation, including tagging, tracking and the flow of asset data into Finance
  • Manage system integration work across ERP, warehouse, procurement, POS and reporting platforms, covering data mapping, interface design, migration, testing and cutover
  • Translate operational and finance requirements into clear functional specifications that developers and vendors can build against
  • Challenge existing process assumptions where automating the current way of working would entrench a weak design
  • Coordinate user acceptance testing, training and post go-live support with the business
  • Manage third party suppliers and implementation partners against agreed scope, cost and timeline
  • Maintain project records, RAG status, risks and issues on Monday.com to PMO standards and report status regularly

What we're looking for

  • Solid project management experience, with at least five years delivering technical or systems integration projects and time spent in a formal PMO environment
  • Demonstrable delivery of ERP, warehouse, inventory or asset management system implementations
  • Working understanding of stock and asset accounting concepts, including the distinction between trade stock and capex
  • Practical experience with data migration, integration testing and cutover planning
  • Comfortable reading data structures, API documentation and integration specifications, without needing to be a developer
  • Confident engaging both technical teams and non-technical store and operations staff
  • Structured and detail focused, with the discipline to close items rather than carry them forward
  • Clear communicator, able to report simply and directly to senior stakeholders
  • Experience with Sage or comparable ERP systems, and retail, QSR or FMCG exposure, is an advantage
  • Willing to travel across the group's operating markets where projects require it
