Project Manager

This role will be responsible for supporting and delivering project management practices, management of a programme of projects and ensuring good quality management and delivery of internal changes in Origina.  This is an opportunity to really put your mark on a small but growing international company that is moving through a phase where more formal project management practice is important but where agility is still key.

Understanding the culture and practices of a smaller organisation will be vital.  Management of project processes and tooling and the ability to communicate to all levels of the organisation with appropriate methods and language will be critical.

The role will involve project management through all phases from initiation to testing and delivery and will bring exposure to a wide range of IT systems and business processes. Managing partners and providers will also be important.
