A Senior Business Change Project Manager with experience of working on a variety of projects and programmes of different scopes and sizes?

Why Not Join Us Here At Simplify!
If you decide that this Senior Project Manager - Business Change position is the role for you, then you’ll be joining the UK’s largest group of property services, a business that is constantly looking to improve, and one that offers both exciting challenges and job satisfaction.
What You'll Be Doing
We're looking for an exceptional Senior Project Manager to lead complex, high-impact transformation initiatives that deliver measurable business outcomes.
This isn't an IT project management role. We're not looking for someone whose experience is primarily infrastructure, technical delivery, or system implementation. Instead, we're seeking a commercially minded change leader who can drive business transformation, embed new ways of working, and successfully introduce technology – including AI – to create real organisational value.
You'll work across operational, digital and strategic change initiatives, partnering with stakeholders across the business to shape solutions, remove barriers, and ensure change is adopted and sustained.
This is a role for someone who enjoys operating in ambiguity, building strong relationships, and taking ownership for delivering results.
Key Responsibilities
- Leading end-to-end delivery of complex business change and transformation projects
- Driving the successful adoption of new processes, technologies and AI-enabled capabilities
- Partnering with business leaders to identify opportunities, shape solutions and realise benefits
- Building strong relationships across operational, technology and leadership teams
- Navigating ambiguity and competing priorities to maintain momentum and delivery focus
- Managing risks, dependencies, governance and stakeholder expectations
- Measuring and reporting business outcomes, benefits and ROI
- Facilitating decision-making and alignment across diverse stakeholder groups
- Ensuring change is embedded effectively and delivers lasting value

Core Requirements
- Proven experience delivering complex business transformation, digital change or organisational change initiatives
- Experience embedding AI, automation or emerging technologies as part of wider business change programmes
- Track record of delivering measurable business outcomes and benefits
- Experience working across a variety of project environments, industries or business settings
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including influencing senior leaders and executives
- Experience leading projects with significant operational impact and organisational adoption requirements
- Strong governance, risk and delivery management capability
What Success Looks Like
You'll be someone who:
- Takes ownership and accountability for outcomes
- Works confidently and independently
- Focuses on pragmatic solutions rather than process for process' sake
- Builds credibility and trust quickly across the organisation
- Balances commercial objectives with people-centred change
- Uses evidence and data to inform decisions
- Communicates clearly and confidently at all levels
- Demonstrates strong emotional intelligence and stakeholder empathy
- Enjoys solving problems and finding a way forward when things are unclear
Not the right fit if:
- Your experience is primarily infrastructure, technical migration, or IT delivery projects
- You struggle to demonstrate measurable business outcomes from projects you've led
- You focus heavily on methodology and process but less on adoption and benefits realisation
- You prefer highly structured environments with limited ambiguity
- You are more comfortable coordinating than leading and influencing
