Office location: Solihull

Salary: £500- £600

Join a forward-thinking UK energy as a high-impact Project Manager capable of bridging the gap between business change and technology. Acting as an objective and trusted advisor, you will rapidly assess business needs and work collaboratively with technology and product teams to deliver solutions aligned to the organisation's target operating model and agreed business outcomes.

This is a senior, hands-on role suited to someone with strong understanding of the full lifecycle of supplier engagement. You will play a critical role across the full lifecycle of supplier engagement-from Request for Proposal (RFP) and supplier assessment through to contract signature, transition, and embedding new ways of working. The role requires a strong focus on business change, supply chain coordination, stakeholder engagement, and driving behavioural and operational change. The position is an initial three-month contract with the possibility of extension. It's a full-time role (37 hours per week) on a hybrid basis, with an on-site presence required for key workshops in Solihull. If this sounds like the right fit, we'd love to receive your CV.

Accountabilities:

Lead and manage the end-to-end Request for Proposal (RFP) process, including evaluating incumbent suppliers, assessing performance, and supporting contract renewal or change decisions.
Manage the full project lifecycle from initiation through contract signature and transition into Business-as-Usual (BAU), ensuring readiness, onboarding, and effective knowledge transfer.
Coordinate across internal teams and external suppliers to ensure alignment, maintain structured delivery plans, and drive progress through regular governance, checkpoints, and RAID management.
Build strong stakeholder relationships and lead engagement activities, translating complex concepts into clear language to secure buy-in and alignment across business and technology teams.
Drive supplier and operational excellence by maintaining close supplier engagement, managing contractual deliverables and change mandates, and identifying efficiency and process improvements.
Ensure solutions align with the target operating model and product ways of working, collaborating with Product Leads and cross-functional teams to embed and adopt new processes.
Lead change management activities, including impact assessments, communication planning, training, and managing resistance to ensure successful adoption.
Monitor delivery performance, ensuring milestones, risks, and dependencies are effectively managed and that measurable business benefits and outcomes are achieved.
Operate independently with rapid impact while integrating effectively into teams and ensuring smooth handover to permanent resources at assignment completion.

Knowledge and Skills:

Proven track record delivering complex technology and business change projects.
Experience managing supplier relationships, RFP processes, and contract transitions.
Strong understanding of project delivery methodologies and structured delivery approaches.
Knowledge of Product operating models and ways of working.
Experience coordinating across supply chains and external vendors.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across all levels.
Strong risk, issue, and dependency management capabilities.
Proficiency with tools such as Jira.
Relevant project management qualifications such as PRINCE2, APM PMQ, PMP or similar.
