ABOUT THE ROLE

With big plans for 2022, we’re on the hunt for a Senior Project Manager.

The day to day stuff:

No two days are ever the same at Sorted, and your role will be varied and diverse. The pace we move at also means priorities will change, so you’ll need to be comfortable with multitasking and shifting workloads. But when plans shift around, we work together to ensure you have fully support and clarity on expectations and deadlines.

As our Senior Project Manager, your job will be to coordinate people and processes to ensure that our projects are delivered on time and produce the desired results. You will be the go-to person for everything involving a project’s organisation and timeline. You take ownership for the successful delivery of the project outcomes. At Sorted, your project roles will be varied. You will be delivering customer-facing projects – either onboarding of new retailers or significant expansion of an existing retailer’s footprint, and internal projects – for example the launch of a new service line and implementation of new/enhanced business processes and supporting tools. You may run several projects concurrently depending on the nature and size of those projects. You will oversee all aspects of projects - set deadlines, assign responsibilities, and monitor and summarize progress of project. You will prepare reports for internal management & external customers regarding status of project. Regardless of the project, it is important that we deliver predictably and to a consistently high level of quality. You are instrumental in ensuring that the necessary project rigor and resources are applied to ensure a successful outcome for us and for our customers.
