Are you an experienced Business Project Manager who thrives on delivering change, driving accountability, and ensuring projects achieve measurable outcomes? Join Elysium Healthcare as Business Project Manager to support the successful delivery of strategic business projects across the organisation.
As a Business Project Manager, you will work closely with the Programme Lead to manage multiple projects and workstreams, translating business objectives into clear and achievable delivery plans. You'll be responsible for driving progress, coordinating stakeholders, managing risks and dependencies, and ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.
This is a hands-on delivery role where you'll be expected to take ownership of project planning and execution, maintaining robust project documentation including plans, RAID logs, milestones, critical paths, and governance requirements. You won't simply monitor progress; you'll actively challenge barriers, resolve issues, and intervene where delivery is at risk to keep projects moving forward.
A key part of the role will involve managing and influencing senior stakeholders, workstream leads, and subject matter experts. You'll establish clear ownership and accountability for deliverables, facilitate focused delivery meetings, and confidently hold individuals to account for commitments, deadlines, and outcomes. Where progress stalls, you'll drive decisions, escalate risks, and provide practical recommendations to maintain momentum.
You'll also oversee project-related risks and compliance considerations, working alongside relevant specialists to identify, assess, and mitigate risks relating to people, employee relations, service users, legal requirements, and business operations. Ensuring consultation, engagement, and governance activities are built into project plans will be essential to successful delivery.
Beyond project planning and design, you'll lead projects through implementation and embedding, ensuring new processes, guidance, and ways of working are successfully integrated into business-as-usual operations. You'll assess operational readiness prior to go-live, support stakeholders through implementation, and monitor outcomes post-launch to ensure sustainable benefits are realised.
Key Accountabilities:
- Own and execute end-to-end project management of any allocated Projects or Programmes of activity
- Manage delivery across multiple workstreams, with clear plans, milestones, and dependencies
