Our client is a UK-based, fast-growing beauty and skincare company. The company develops award-winning skincare and beauty products, with around 98% of its range freshly made in-house at its Surrey headquarters. It combines naturally derived ingredients with cosmetic science and has a strong focus on sustainability and ethical business practices.

The company has over 275 employees and a large community of more than 20,000 independent Ambassadors across the UK. It operates a direct-selling model, with Ambassadors playing an important role in how customers discover and purchase its products.

Responsibilities

  • Create and maintain a clear project plan covering all ongoing IT initiatives, including owners, dependencies, priorities, timelines, and realistic delivery dates;
  • Coordinate key IT projects, including the AWS landing zone and account migrations, Zero Trust rollout, new office build-out, and Ambassador systems initiatives;
  • Coordinate weekly activities across the four-person IT team, ensuring projects progress efficiently and reducing the need for constant involvement from the IT Manager;
  • Support and coordinate the Service Desk relaunch, including Freshservice optimisation, process improvements, documentation, reporting, and the introduction of an AI support agent;
  • Work closely with an external AI consultant and internal stakeholders to ensure successful delivery of the Service Desk programme;
  • Review and structure approximately 30 existing IT KPIs, ensuring they are clearly defined, measurable, and aligned with operational and business objectives;
  • Establish and maintain regular KPI tracking and reporting, providing clear visibility into IT performance, project progress, service delivery, and key areas requiring attention;
  • Coordinate the Security & Compliance programme together with the fractional Security & Compliance Lead;
  • Manage vendor and Customer Success Manager coordination, ensuring effective communication, follow-ups, and progress tracking across external partners.

Requirements

  • Proven experience managing technical projects specifically within an IT environment rather than general business project management;
  • Strong understanding of IT infrastructure and cloud projects, with the ability to confidently discuss technologies and terminology related to AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365;
  • Experience coordinating multiple technical initiatives, stakeholders, dependencies, priorities, and delivery timelines simultaneously;
  • Strong documentation and process-building skills, with the ability to create clear, structured processes and documentation that enable the team to operate independently.
  • Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to drive projects forward, follow up with stakeholders, and maintain clear visibility of progress;
  • Confident chairing discussions and coordinating stakeholders who may be more technically specialised; 
  • An Upper-Intermediate English level or higher.

What Success Looks Like

By the end of the first 90 days, the Project Manager should have:

  • Created a clear overview of all ongoing IT projects, including timelines, priorities, owners, and dependencies;
  • Made it easy for the IT Manager to see what is happening, who is responsible, and when things are expected to be completed;
  • Established a structure that the IT team can update and maintain independently;
  • Reduced the need for constant follow-ups and manual tracking of project progress.

Bonus points for

  • Experience with ITSM and Service Desk environments, particularly Freshservice, including service management processes, reporting, workflow optimisation, or Service Desk improvement initiatives.
