DWP. Digital with Purpose. 

• Are you an experienced Digital Project Manager? Can you manage large scale projects?
• Do you want to work on stuff that makes a difference, on products and services which are used by millions of people ever day?

We have exciting opportunities for Digital Project Managers to join us at DWP Digital. You will join a flourishing, supportive community who are delivering the projects behind a once in a generation digital transformation of the UK's biggest government department.

We use a range of skills and methodologies, managing multi-functional delivery teams to deliver change, maintain core DWP applications and deliver new services that support the lives of millions of people, and power payments worth over £195bn a year.

The scale of what we do is outstanding, and our purpose is unique. We'd love you to join us. 

Delivery. Work. Projects. 

As Digital Project Manager, you'll build and manage stakeholder relationships across internal teams and suppliers, proactively identifying risks and issues and managing these.

You'll communicate consistently across internal and external stakeholders and manage team dynamics.

One of the first things you will be involved in is the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Experience of implementing an ERP is desirable but not essential.

You're a skilled Project Manager and you take ownership of full projects, or sometimes parts of large-scale programmes, dealing with plans, risks, issues, and dependencies.

We love it when our Project Managers learn and grow, and you'll have access to all the learning and development you need to develop your skills and career.

What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? 

• Experience of taking full responsibility for the definition and satisfactory completion of multiple different Digital Projects.
• Experience of building and managing effective stakeholder relationships to shape the outcomes of a project, considering different individual needs, views, and ideas.
• Can use effective project controls to demonstrate the health of the projects they are responsible for and react accordingly to the information gathered.
• Ability to communicate in a straightforward, honest, and engaging manner, choosing appropriate styles and tools to maximise and check understanding and impact.
• Experience of building team dynamics and identifying ways to improve the way the team is working.

In return for your skills, we offer competitive pay of up to £43,347.

You'll get a generous leave package starting at 26 days, rising to 31 days over time, plus all the usual bank holidays, and the option to take extra days off on flexi leave.
