We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Business Readiness Project Manager to join our Business Change team, working together to achieve positive outcomes for change initiatives within Auxillis.

This role will take overall responsibility for the planning and successful delivery of allocated projects to clearly defined timescales, quality and cost. As a vital part of the team, you will be in charge of planning, facilitating and coordinating all activities leading up to the implementation, and taking control of agreed change initiatives and projects, ensuring smooth transition to both internal and external stakeholders.
As a successful candidate, you’re resilient, with high levels of personal accountability and a drive to be exceptional – you’re not interested in average (because we’re not either!). You also have excellent facilitation and presentation skills, coupled with the ability to manage external vendors.

What’s in it for you?

Motoring Benefits- access to an employee vehicle-leasing scheme, discounted vehicle repairs and discounts on weekend vehicle hire and van hire.
Community- ours is a great community to be a part of.  From free-vending machines and free on-site/local parking, through to charity fundraising events and regular onsite visits from businesses (including everyone's favourite, the pick-and-mix sweetshop), even an annual sports day and barbeque - it is a great place to call home.
