This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2440 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and Robert Walters is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2131 (IT project managers, IT project focus with SaaS implementation and vendor management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
SaaS Implementation (Client Side)
6-month FTC (likely extending to 12) Central London, hybrid (2 days/week)
I'm recruiting a Senior Project Manager for a well-established London charitable social enterprise - 1,200 people across 40+ sites - building out a newly created project delivery function.
You'd lead the end-to-end implementation of a new platform: vendor selection, requirements, configuration, data migration, UAT, training, rollout and adoption. Off-the-shelf SaaS, implemented properly - this is not a custom build.
What you'll own:
- The full delivery lifecycle: scope, plans, budgets, risks and dependencies, from discovery through to handover and post-go-live improvement
- Vendor selection, then the vendor relationship - contracts, commercials, invoices, and holding them to account on quality and timelines
- Proper governance: RAID logs, RAG reporting, roadmaps and weekly status reports, planned in MS Project or Smartsheet
- The BA work too - this is a small team, so you'll gather user requirements and map journeys, workflows and processes yourself
- Data migration involving sensitive personal data, with a genuine working understanding of GDPR and migration risk
- Change and adoption across an organisation that's new to project management - comms, training, and bringing people with you across 40+ sites
You'll need:
- Extensive experience and ownership of end-to-end SaaS implementation delivery (this is a senior role)
- Saas Implementation from the client side, not vendor
- Excellent knowledge of sensitive data, GDPR, data migration and integration (required)
- Waterfall delivery in structured, regulated or data-sensitive environments
- Real vendor management, including contract and budget ownership
- Exceptional documentation - statements of work, timing plans, process maps
This probably isn't for you if your background is agile product delivery, building custom software with dev teams, or on-prem-to-cloud infrastructure migration, or if you are on the vendor side.
Interviewing immediately.
Apply here or message me directly. Please confirm where you're based, your right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available), and whether you've already applied to a role like this directly (so we don't duplicate an application).

Not necessarily. Robert Walters holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?
The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2440 going rate of £56,500. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
