Senior Project ManagerEmployment Type: Full timeLocation: UKWorking Pattern: Remote, with travel to support the roleClosing Date: 6th November 2026
Job Description
The Senior Project Manager is responsible for delivering Embridge’s larger, more complex or strategically important ERP implementation and transformation projects and programmes: on time, within budget, to agreed scope and quality, and to the business outcomes the client expects. The role leads multi-workstream project teams, owns the plan, budget, risks and change control, and is the senior day-to-day delivery contact for client sponsors and executives. It also mentors and coaches other Project Managers and helps improve how Embridge delivers. It has no line management responsibility. Senior Project Manager is the next level from Project Manager. It reflects the size and complexity of projects led, consistent delivery performance, and contribution to the wider Project Management team. Senior Project Managers deliver using Embridge’s methodology, with Elastic Change and Emotionally Intelligent (EQ) Leadership built in, so that clients are supported through the people and organisational side of change, not just the technology. Elastic Change is Embridge’s approach to transformation. It recognises that change is rarely linear: client priorities, pressures and technology shift over time, so delivery must adapt without losing control or commercial discipline.
