Full job description

The Vacancy -

We are excited to be launching Soha Improves, a new service redesign function focused on transforming services around resident outcomes. We are looking for a highly capable and delivery-focused Project Manager (on a fixed term contract basis for 6 months) to play a central role in making this ambition a reality.

This role reports into our Head of Resident Experience, who has responsibility for resident experience, organisational learning and service improvement.

Role Summary

Soha Improves is focused on redesigning services end-to-end, shaped by resident experience, data and insight, and delivered at pace to achieve measurable outcomes.

As Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of high-impact service redesign projects. You will ensure projects are well-governed, on track, and delivering benefits, while working with colleagues across disciplines including service design, digital, insight and communications.

This role sits at the centre of complex change programmes, requiring strong project delivery skills alongside the ability to work collaboratively across operational teams and specialist functions to embed sustainable improvements.

This role is on a fixed term contract basis for 6 months.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Delivery of projects & programmes

Lead the end-to-end delivery of service redesign projects within Soha Improves, ensuring projects are clearly scoped, governed and delivered against agreed milestones and outcomes
Manage risks, dependencies and resources to keep projects on track
Support robust benefits tracking, to ensure projects remain focused on achieving measurable operational, financial or resident outcomes, not just completing activities
Support director sponsors and programme leadership with clear information and insights

Establishing the Soha Improves methodology

Help develop, codify and apply the Soha Improves methodology across projects: translating complex service challenges into clear problem statements and delivery plans, working closely with operational teams to redesign end-to-end resident journeys and testing and measuring the impact of changes
Ensure each stage is evidence-led and focused on improving resident outcomes, including engaging with a broader range of residents
Support test-and-learn approaches, ensuring changes are validated before scaling
Embed continuous improvement so projects deliver sustained change, not one-off interventions

Working across teams and disciplines

Collaborate closely with everyone involved in the projects and act as a connector – understanding the needs and skills of each person and communicating both the process and the positive outcomes from projects
Supporting Service Managers to embed redesigned processes into day-to-day operations
Moving beyond consultation, to work with residents in co-production approaches
Working with senior leaders and sponsors to maintain pace and quality of change

Governance, Insight & Reporting

Establishing clear governance structures, documentation and controls for each project
Tracking performance against KPIs, benefits and outcomes
Using data and insight to support decision-making and prioritisation
Maintaining clear audit trails and evidence of impact

What We’re Looking For

Experience

Proven experience delivering complex projects or programmes, ideally within service redesign, transformation or continuous improvement
Experience working across multiple stakeholders, functions and disciplines
Experience of delivering change that improves customer or resident outcomes
Experience of working in data-led environments, using insight to shape delivery

Knowledge & Skills

Strong project management capability (e.g. planning, governance, risk management, reporting)
Strong understanding of service redesign, continuous improvement or human-centred design approaches (eg. agile, iterative, outcome-led delivery)
Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills
Ability to work at pace while maintaining structure and quality
Analytical skills, with confidence interpreting performance and insight data

Personal Qualities

Highly organised, delivery-focused and accountable
Collaborative and comfortable working across disciplines and teams
Curious and improvement-focused, with a strong problem-solving mindset
Resilient and adaptable in a fast-paced change environment
Committed to improving outcomes for residents and supporting colleagues through change

Why Soha Improves?

Soha Improves is a new and ambitious function bringing together service design, delivery, data, digital and communication disciplines to rethink how services work.

This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping how Soha delivers better outcomes for residents — not just through incremental change, but through fundamentally redesigning services with residents at the centre.

‘The Soha Way’

All staff are expected to model ‘the Soha Way’, in line with our cultural principles

Interviews will be held on the 10th August 2026.
