Project Manager - Payroll Implementation (Hybrid)

£50.7k - £53.36k per annum
Temporary, Full-time

Project Managers - Ready for your next challenge?

Our new HR & Payroll system is underway and we’re looking for a driven, hands-on Project Manager to take ownership and lead this high-impact transformation for our organisation. If you thrive on complexity, love driving change, and know how to bring people with you, this could be your next move.

Location: Any of our Scotland offices (Elgin, Peterhead, Aberdeen, Dundee, Airdrie, Glasgow, Dumbarton, Irvine, Galashiels) or hybrid

⏳ Contract: Fixed-term (6–12 months)

What you'll be doing

  • Own and deliver a major HR & Payroll system implementation
  • Lead the rollout of the HR module this year, with Payroll & Expenses to follow (2027)
  • Keep the project on track — managing timelines, risks, and stakeholders
  • Work across HR, Finance, and IT to streamline and improve complex processes
  • Solve problems fast and keep momentum high

What you'll bring

  • Proven experience delivering HR & Payroll system implementations and managing the wider business change
  • Strong project management skills — confident using tools like MS Project (or similar) to plan, track, and report
  • The ability to influence, negotiate, and communicate effectively at all levels
  • A natural leader who can motivate teams and drive collaboration to hit deadlines
  • Solid understanding of change management principles and practices
  • Excellent planning, organisation, analytical and problem-solving skills
  • A professional, solutions-focused mindset with a focus on quality delivery

It would great if you also have: -

  • A project management qualification such as Prince2 Practitioner, PMQ, PMP
  • Knowledge and experience of the health and social care or third sector
