Help turn complex technology change into clear, controlled delivery across IRIS.

IRIS Software Group provides business software and services that help organisations reduce administration, improve processes and make better decisions. We operate across the UK, North America and international markets, with growth supported by acquisitions, business transformation and technology modernisation.

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to join us on a 12-month fixed-term contract and take ownership of varied internal IT and technology-enabled business projects. You will bring structure, pace and clear communication to work that may span applications, infrastructure, data, cyber security, workplace technology, end-user computing and service improvement.

Current examples include replacing a secure email application, improving certificate management and upgrading from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022, alongside potential mergers, acquisitions and divestments.

🧾 Why This Role Matters

Our internal technology projects shape how colleagues work and how effectively the wider business operates. You will connect technology teams, business stakeholders, suppliers and implementation partners, turning objectives into practical plans and keeping delivery focused on agreed outcomes.

The portfolio may also include M&A activity. M&A means mergers and acquisitions, where businesses combine or one company acquires another. You may support integration, bringing systems and teams together, or divestment and separation, where part of a business is prepared to operate independently or move to a new owner.

👥 About the Team You’ll Join

You will report to the Principal Programme Manager and join a close-knit team of four within our IT Managed Technology Support function. Working across internal IT, business functions, leadership teams, Finance, suppliers and delivery partners, you will play an important role in delivering technology change that supports colleagues across the wider business.

The role can be performed fully remotely. You may be invited to occasional workshops in Manchester or Heathrow, potentially for up to two days with advance notice, but attendance is not essential.

This is a role for someone who can establish credibility quickly, work independently and maintain momentum when priorities and dependencies are changing.
