Job description

Programme Manager, SAP SuccessFactors/HCM/HR Transformation Programme, Motor Insurance, City of London, £(Apply online only) per day. Outside IR35. Hybrid Working Available. 12+ month contract.

We are pleased to commence the recruitment process for a Programme Manager to join a specialist motor insurance sector business based in the City of London (EC2). This is a contract role, circa 12 months, with possible extensions.

With approximately 400 staff, including affiliates and representatives and their teams located throughout the UK, the growing insurance business is dedicated to enhancing their business operations by improving HR processes.

They are currently seeking a Programme Manager with an urgent remit to lead post-implementation remediation for their recently integrated HCM system, SAP SuccessFactors. This will involve people, process and systems change.

SAP SuccessFactors has been recently implemented to a small pilot group out of the 400 staff, with limited uptake by end users and staff, and a growing sense that the use cases were not accurate and aligned to the needs of users.

Therefore before further implementation, there is a requirement for a Programme Manager to remediate the implementation of the pilot, re-engage with users and stakeholders, and make sure the solution is aligned with business needs.

The Programme Manager will join the business as part of a wider CEO-sponsored transformation initiative which spans IT, HR, and Finance functions.

The SAP SuccessFactors Programme Manager position will play a critical role in establishing best practices within the business, and improving the end user uptake of the new HCM and related processes.

The successful candidate will collaborate with business and technology teams to deliver remediation and change, ensuring the SAP SuccessFactors platform aligns closely with the business needs.

Requirements:

- Proven track record in successfully delivering projects or programmes on a large enterprise scale, with a user base of approximately 400 staff.

- Experience in HCM/HR transformation project or programme management, alongside broader project and programme management expertise.

- Proficiency in programme management best practices, including PRINCE2, Agile, and waterfall methodologies.

- Demonstrated experience in implementing large-scale post-implementation changes, with a focus on Programme Recovery and Remediation.

- Experience in managing projects across multiple locations.

- Ability to effectively engage with system implementation partners and system integrators.

Linear Executive Search is pleased to be acting as the recruitment consultancy for this Programme Manager contract vacancy, and is committed to Equal Opportunities Employment
