- Manage a multi-million project budget, typically between £2m and £6m. Ensure project costs are effectively managed and controlled, tracking actuals against forecasts and the approved budget and addressing variances as required.

- Develop and maintain a comprehensive project plan, aligned to strategic objectives, with defined scope, deliverables, timelines and resource requirements

- Identify, manage and assess project risks, issues and dependencies, ensuring minimal impact to delivery

- Manage the day-to-day project operations, ensuring the project adheres to Primark’s standards set by Planning (i.e. Primark’s Delivery Governance Framework), Architecture, Engineering, Service, Cyber and Governance, Risk & Compliance with dependencies built into the plan

- Lead and motivate multi-disciplinary teams, clarifying roles and responsibilities and to achieve the project objectives

What You’ll Bring

- 5+ years of relevant experience in project, programme & portfolio management

- Proven track record of successfully delivering high-quality results against a defined scope, timeline, budget and quality standard.
