About The Role

We’re on a journey to transform the way we work at AO. We’re investing £millions into upgrading our ERP from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365, bringing the power, speed, and intelligence of cloud computing into our organisation.

The first stop on our roadmap is to embed, optimise and roll out D365 to our Finance team. Then we’ll be integrating other areas such as HR, Sales, and Supply Chain. So, we’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to join us in creating the D365 landscape for Finance.

As a Project Manager, you’ll work closely with tech colleagues and senior stakeholders across the business, making sure that our processes are defined and that we’ve got everything in place. It’s a perfect time to come on board as we begin our transformation project - this role will give you exposure to the latest and best ERP technology, unrivalled career growth, and the ability to shape the future of D365 at AO.

· Identify any steps needed to implement service transition and handover into a BAU programme.

A Few Things About You

· Pro-active, self-starter able to take the initiative, energise resources and get your ‘sleeves rolled up’ and ‘lead from the front’.

· Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

· Practical experience in the software development lifecycle, agile working practises and the challenges presented with introducing large-scale ERP solutions into a legacy IT estate as part of a business transformation programme.
