Project Manager

Discover yourself in Lewisham where what you do makes a difference to our vibrant and culturally diverse communities!

We have a rich history of welcoming people from all over the world and are proud to be recognised as the UK’s first Borough of Sanctuary, for our work in championing the rights of refugees and migrants.

Are you a confident and adaptable IT project manager with experience of delivering projects end to end, solving complex problems, influencing stakeholders and using technology to support business change?

As an IT Project Manager, you’ll lead a range of technical and business change projects from planning through to implementation. You’ll manage project plans, risks, budgets, benefits and governance, work closely with senior stakeholders and suppliers, and ensure projects deliver agreed outcomes on time and within scope.

You’ll use approaches including PRINCE2 and Agile, adapting your delivery style to suit each project while helping embed new technology and ways of working across the Council.

Excellent training and development opportunities, plus a range of benefits including:

• Generous holiday allowance
• Local Government Pension scheme
• Flexible working and family friendly policies
• Season ticket and bicycle loans
• A range of staff discounts including local subsidised gym memberships
• Supportive staff networks

We’re looking for someone who can take ownership and deliver, bringing structure and strong governance to complex IT projects. You’ll be a confident communicator and problem solver, comfortable working with senior stakeholders and suppliers. You’ll know how to manage risks, priorities and competing demands, while keeping delivery focused on outcomes. Most importantly, you’ll be collaborative, adaptable and able to turn plans into results.

The job is primarily based in Laurence House, Catford, SE6 4RU but we operate a hybrid approach where you will be required to work both in the office and from home on a regular basis.
