Project Manager

Interim Project Manager – E-commerce Platform Migration

Contract: Outside IR35

Duration: 3–4 months

Fractional 2-3 days per week

Location: London (1–2 days per week initially, increasing to 2–3 days during key delivery phases)

Start: August 2026

We're supporting a fast-growing direct-to-consumer business as they embark on a major e-commerce platform transformation ahead of a critical trading period later this year.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to take ownership of the business readiness and delivery coordination activities associated with a large-scale e-commerce replatforming programme.

The technical delivery teams are already in place and moving quickly. The challenge now is ensuring the wider business keeps pace.

The Role

You will sit above the individual workstreams, ensuring the programme continues to move forward at pace by:

• Managing risks, dependencies and cross-functional coordination
• Driving business readiness activities across multiple departments
• Ensuring testing, training and operational activities are aligned to delivery timelines
• Identifying and removing blockers before they become programme issues
• Coordinating stakeholders across digital, technology and operational teams
• Providing clear project reporting and delivery oversight
• Supporting a successful go-live within an ambitious timeframe

This is not a heavily process-driven environment with large PMOs and layers of governance. Success in this role will come from being proactive, pragmatic and comfortable operating with ambiguity.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Has delivered Shopify e-commerce platform migrations or large-scale digital transformation projects
• Understands the dependencies involved in replatforming programmes
• Can operate confidently across both business and technology stakeholders
• Is comfortable in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments
• Takes ownership and doesn't wait for process or governance structures to drive progress
• Is highly organised, commercially aware and action-oriented
• Can quickly identify risks and intervene before issues escalate

Experience within direct-to-consumer, retail or digital commerce environments would be highly advantageous.

Experience with specific e-commerce platforms is beneficial but not essential; we're more interested in candidates who understand the wider operational and business impacts of large-scale digital change.

Why Apply?

• Outside IR35 engagement
• Flexible, fractional working arrangement
• Opportunity to deliver a business-critical programme with significant visibility
• Work with a collaborative and commercially focused leadership team
• Join a growing business that moves quickly and values delivery over bureaucracy

If you're a hands-on Project Manager who thrives in high-growth environments and enjoys making things happen, we'd love to hear from you.
