IT systems play a pivotal role in Softcat's success. As our business grows and evolves it is essential, we have a set of reliable, scalable yet flexible systems that are designed to ensure ease of doing business for our customers and employees.

Success. The Softcat Way.

Softcat is embarking on a multi-year Sales system transformation programme and we are currently in the system and partner selection stage.

We require a Project Manager to take responsibility for leading one or more functional workstreams that will be gathering, analysing, documenting, and managing business requirements through the full lifecycle of programme

As Project Manager, you'll be responsible for:

  • Define the objectives, outcomes, benefits, resources, timescales, budget, deliverables, responsibilities etc associated with the workstreams that you are managing
  • Set project standards and methods along with the other project managers and the project office
  • Collaborate with senior management and stakeholders to ensure that they provide the necessary input to the programme and stay motivated to do so
  • From your experience on similar projects, identify all aspects of scope that your workstreams depend upon and ensure that they are documented in sufficient detail to avoid ambiguity at later stages in the programme
  • Lead you workstreams' team members in all activities and in production of their deliverables and in doing so ensure that your workstreams collaborate and align with other workstream (functional, non-functional/technical, data, change, reporting and testing)

We'd love you to have

  • Extensive project management experience with a proven record of balancing multiple competing priorities and deadlines
  • Full responsibility for the delivery of multiple £1m+ full lifecycle Sales system implementation, integration, upgrade and migration projects that include these areas
  • Experience of best practice ways of working, common pitfalls, risks and mitigations, ideally in respect to implementing one or more of the following platforms:
    • Microsoft D365 Sales Cloud, CPQ
    • Salesforce Sales Cloud, CPQ, Revenue Cloud
    • Oracle Sales Cloud (Fusion)
    • Oracle NetSuite for Sales
  • Experience of project managing business systems implementations for 500+ users in multiple locations
  • Proven ability of applying methods and formality to project delivery in dynamic and unstructured environments to achieve successful outcomes

Work in a way that works for you

We recognise that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:

  • Hybrid working –3 days in the office and 2days working from home
  • Working flexible hours - flexing the times you start and finish during the day
  • Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs
