Job Description

A really interesting temp opportunity has come through to join a public sector organisation on a key digital transformation programme.

 

This role will focus on reviewing and improving how core systems are delivered and used across the organisation - helping shape whether future solutions are built internally, bought externally, or a combination of both.

 

It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys bringing structure to evolving projects and working closely with a mix of technical and business stakeholders.

 

Key details:

  • Temporary Assignment: 3 to 6 months (potential to extend)
  • Location: Weybridge area (3 days onsite, 2 remote)
  • Circa £62,000 per annum pro rata
  • PAYE only (no umbrella / limited company options)

 

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading a transformation project from early-stage planning through to delivery
  • Putting clear project plans, governance, and structure in place
  • Coordinating across teams to keep things moving forward
  • Managing risks, timelines, and key decisions
  • Supporting workshops and stakeholder discussions
  • Producing clear updates for senior stakeholders

 

What we’re looking for

  • Strong project management experience within change or digital environments
  • Experience working on system or technology-related projects
  • Confident setting up governance, plans, and processes from scratch
  • Able to work with a wide range of stakeholders and bring clarity to complex work
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving environment

 

Helpful (but not essential)

  • Experience in public sector or regulated environments
  • Exposure to system selection, implementation, or SaaS solutions
  • Understanding of Agile or similar delivery approaches

 

Why this role?

This is a chance to play a key part in shaping a meaningful transformation programme, with real visibility and impact across the organisation.
