[Hiring] Senior Project Manager @Rolling Arrays - Consulting

Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead complex, multi-workstream HRTech transformation programmes — providing strategic project governance, executive client partnership, and cross-team leadership at scale. This role carries competency leadership accountability: you define the governance frameworks others operate within, manage C-suite relationships, and build the capability of the project management team.

• Lead programmes not just projects — own large, complex, multi-workstream HRTech transformation programmes spanning multiple vendors, integration partners, and onshore/offshore delivery teams, optimising multi-track delivery aligned with the client's & business priorities.
• Define the governance model — establish programme governance structures, frameworks, and reporting cadence that prevent surprises across every workstream.
• Manage executive stakeholders — own C-suite and senior executive relationships across both client and RA, leading steering committee presentations and driving programme-level decision-making.
• Drive strategic risk management — anticipate programme-level risks, design enterprise-grade mitigation strategies, own the programme-level cutover and go/no-go decision, and lead the escalation response for critical programme issues.
• Build the PM team — coach Project Managers, define team KPIs, conduct performance reviews, design development plans, and drive continuous PMO capability uplift.
• Protect commercial outcomes at scale — manage delivery margins, resourcing, and scope risk across the programme, not a single project.
• Advance PMO excellence — contribute to RA delivery frameworks and intellectual capital, and drive continuous improvement across PMO standards and practices.

Qualifications

• 10–15 years of project and programme management in large-scale HRTech or enterprise transformations on the implementation-partner / SI side, with proven ownership of multi-workstream programmes.
• HRTech programme delivery — large-scale SuccessFactors, Workday, or Oracle programme delivery, with SuccessFactors preferred; outstanding programme leaders from adjacent enterprise-transformation domains will also be considered.

Requirements

• Multi-vendor, multi-workstream, multi-geography leadership — has led programmes spanning several workstreams, integration partners, third-party vendors, and onshore/offshore teams, not a sequence of single projects.
• Executive stakeholder track record — has managed C-suite client relationships and driven programme decisions in the steering committee, not via intermediaries.
• Commercial stewardship at scale — has owned delivery margins, resourcing, and scope risk across a programme, not a single project.
• Enterprise risk and escalation ownership — has built escalation protocols, owned programme cutover and go/no-go decisions, and diffused high-stakes programme situations.
• Delivery methodology fluency — fluent in structured implementation methodology (SAP Activate or equivalent) and agile/sprint-based delivery at programme scale.
• Proven people development — has built and developed a high-performing project management team and can evidence capability uplift in the PMs they led.

Preferred Qualifications & Certifications

• Real implementation-partner delivery experience — genuine programme delivery on the vendor / system-integrator side, owning commercials and client outcomes, is what matters most — not HRIS or in-house HR-team programme roles.
• MSP, PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent programme certification — valued but not required; a proven programme delivery record outweighs any credential.
• SAP SuccessFactors programme experience — preferred given current pipeline weighting; Workday or Oracle programme delivery equally valued.
• Bachelor's degree an advantage; equivalent senior delivery experience considered.
