IT Project Manager

IntaPeople are pleased to be appointed to recruit an IT Project Manager for a thriving global manufacturing business. This is a permanent opportunity to join a well-established Digital Project Management Office, running SAP projects that support the business's continued international growth.

You will take ownership of a portfolio of SAP projects on the business's current SAP ECC platform, delivering roll-outs and improvements across its sites. The role takes over from an experienced project manager who is moving onto another programme internally, so you will benefit from a structured handover.
