About the role
Global Project Manager - Change & Deployment (Manufacturing)
12-month contract | Fully remote | £450/day | Outside IR35
Our client is a long-established global manufacturing organisation undertaking a major transformation of how it serves its customer base worldwide. As part of a strategic global programme, they're changing the way commercial relationships are managed - moving lower-tier accounts from in-person to remote/online support models - and need experienced Programme/Project Managers to drive that change across multiple regions.
The role
You'll join a small, high-calibre team of three Regional Programme/Project Managers, working alongside two existing team members (one permanent, one contractor), reporting into the programme lead. You'll take ownership of deployment across your regions - starting with the Americas, APAC, and Southern Europe - with each market running through a c.3-month intensive delivery phase followed by ongoing support.
Core responsibilities:
- Analyse regional account data to identify which customers move to the new (remote) support model
- Lead the change management and communications plan for affected customers and internal stakeholders
- Build and execute a project plan (scope, milestones, resourcing) for each market deployment
- Act as the go-to contact for your markets, managing risks, dependencies, and reporting
- Navigate a traditional, long-tenured organisational culture - bringing structure and pace without alienating deeply embedded ways of working
What we're looking for
- Strong change management background - training, communications, stakeholder engagement
- Solid project/programme management experience (3-5+ years), ideally with global or multi-market delivery
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, largely virtual, global team
- Industry background open - manufacturing, automotive, or pharma experience is a plus
- System implementation or "ways of working" rollout experience is a bonus, not essential
- PMP, Agile, IPMA or similar certification preferred but not required
Process: 2 stage interview process
