IT Program Manager – EPOS Transformation

📍 Nottingham (3 days onsite minimum)

📄 6-month initial contract (high likelihood of extension)

💼 Inside IR35

Overview

We are delivering a major EPOS replacement and retail systems transformation within a large, complex retail organisation.

This is not a standard POS upgrade — it is a multi-year, £20m+ transformation programme spanning core retail systems, integrations, and supply chain improvements.

Currently in the planning and design phase, the programme will run for approximately 18–24 months. We are seeking a delivery-focused IT Project Manager to take ownership of the IT workstream and drive execution through to delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end IT project delivery for the EPOS transformation workstream
• Define and manage delivery plans, roadmap, sequencing, and dependencies
• Track and control budgets, costs, and financial governance
• Coordinate delivery across multiple IT domains, including:
• EPOS replacement
• Stock management / inventory systems
• Integration with new and existing core platforms
• Work closely with architecture and engineering teams (exposure to HLD, not hands-on design)
• Manage third-party vendors and internal stakeholders
• Ensure alignment with programme milestones and business objectives
• Operate effectively within a large-scale, enterprise IT environment

Key Requirements

• Proven track record delivering large-scale (£20m+) IT programmes
• Strong background as a core IT Project Manager (delivery-focused, not change/comms-led)
• Experience in retail systems and/or supply chain environments
• Excellent planning, governance, and cost control capability
• Experience managing multiple workstreams, vendors, and complex dependencies
• Comfortable working onsite and embedded within delivery teams

Nice to Have

• EPOS / POS transformation experience
• Experience working within large retail organisations
• Exposure to end-to-end retail operations or supply chain systems

Not in Scope

• Change communications
• Training delivery
• Organisational change management

Why Join

• Business-critical transformation with high visibility
• Long-term programme with strong extension potential
• Opportunity to lead a core IT workstream within a £20m+ initiative
• Stable, structured delivery environment
