Your new company

A large housing organisation is undertaking a major, organisation‑wide transformation of its Housing Management services. The programme will replace a complex estate of legacy systems with a single, modern, cloud‑hosted Housing Management System (HMS). This strategically important initiative will support services for over 15,000 households, improving compliance, data quality, and customer experience, while enabling staff to work more efficiently through modern digital tools. The project has strong organisational sponsorship and will have wide‑ranging impact across Housing, Repairs & Maintenance, Community Safety, and Corporate IT.

Your new role

As HMS Project Manager, you will lead the end‑to‑end delivery of a large‑scale Housing Management System transformation over an estimated 24‑month programme, starting in Summer 2026. You will be responsible for mobilisation, procurement, implementation, testing, cutover, and post‑go‑live stabilisation.
You will provide leadership to a multidisciplinary delivery team including project coordination, data, business analysis, testing, and specialist resources, while acting as the key interface between housing services, IT & Digital, data, procurement, finance, governance teams, and system suppliers. The role requires ownership of programme planning, governance, budget, risk management, supplier delivery, data migration, system integration, business change, training, and transition into business‑as‑usual support.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven experience delivering complex housing system implementations, including large‑scale data migration from multiple legacy platforms
  • Hands‑on experience with enterprise housing systems such as NEC Housing, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or similar HMS solutions
  • Strong understanding of end‑to‑end landlord services, including tenancy management, allocations, repairs and maintenance, rents, asset management, and compliance
  • Experience working within cloud‑hosted SaaS environments, including integrations, security, and vendor‑managed delivery models
  • Solid knowledge of project governance, including risk and issue management, change control, cutover planning, and quality assurance
  • Demonstrated ability to lead multi‑disciplinary teams and manage complex stakeholder environments
  • Experience delivering organisational or digital change, including process redesign, training, engagement, and adoption support
  • Formal project management certification such as PRINCE2 Practitioner (desirable)
  • Strong understanding of data governance, GDPR, and supplier management (desirable)
