- Description
Transformation Project Manager
Do you thrive on redesigning how businesses work, not just the tech they use?
We’re helping a mid-tier law firm in the City find a Transformation Project Manager who can steer high-profile change initiatives (think compliance, risk, marketing and more) and leave a lasting mark on how the firm operates.
The essentials
- Role: Transformation Project Manager (business-focused, non-IT)
- Contract: 24-month fixed-term (salary £70,000 – £89,000)
- Location: Liverpool Street, London | Hybrid: 2-3 days in any office, rest remote
- Environment: Transformation function (reporting outside core IT)
Why this could be your next move
- Influence at board level – partner directly with executive sponsors on firm-wide change.
- Breadth, not boxes – projects span operating-model, governance, marketing, GC and more, giving you genuine variety.
- Hybrid freedom – shape your week with two to three days on-site and the rest where you work best.
- Scale – 2-year runway to deliver tangible, portfolio-sized wins.
- Inclusive culture – grown-up trust, diverse teams and real empowerment rather than micro-management.
What you’ll be driving
- Scoping, planning and delivering end-to-end transformation projects, ensuring milestones, benefits and budgets stay on track.
- Building operating-model roadmaps with stakeholders across compliance, marketing, GC and other business services.
- Running feasibility studies and business cases, selecting the right delivery approach (Agile, hybrid or classic).
- Orchestrating third-party partners and distributed teams via tools such as MS Project, Jira or Asana.
- Managing risks, issues, change requests and post-implementation reviews to lock in continuous improvement.
The people skills that matter here
- Confident communicator who can translate strategy into action and bring senior leaders on the journey.
- Natural collaborator able to motivate cross-functional teams, whether in-office or remote.
- Strong change-management mindset: you see resistance as something to understand and resolve, not bulldoze.
- Comfortable with ambiguity; you’re happy shaping scope when the roadmap is still forming.
- Inclusive, open and curious: your varied experiences help you spot better ways of working and ensure every voice is heard.
