Implementation Project Manager

As an Implementation Project Manager working at NHSP you will be responsible for planning and overseeing projects to ensure they are completed in a timely fashion and within agreed thresholds. Implementation Project Managers collaborate with clients and NHSP to plan and designate project resources, prepare project documentation, monitor progress, and keep stakeholders informed throughout.

NHSP utilise modern and flexible project management approaches which allow our project management team to develop and flourish without sacrificing essentially project governance. As part of our approach we understand that, in some instances, there may be value in F2F client interactions therefore, travel may form part of the role.
