The Opportunity

At Rimes, the Project Manager is the backbone of structured client delivery — the person who turns agreed scope into a clear, executable plan and sees it through to production. You will own your projects end-to-end, from mobilisation through deployment, coordinating cross-functional Rimes and client teams across design, configuration, data onboarding, testing and go-live.

This is a career-level role within our Professional Services organisation, sitting at the centre of the Solution Delivery sub-function and working shoulder-to-shoulder with Solution Consultants, Implementation Engineers and Solution Architects. You will work independently, bring discipline and client focus to every engagement, and take full accountability for delivery outcomes on your projects.

Responsibilities

Project Planning & Governance -

Own the project plan for your allocated engagements, covering scope, timeline, resource requirements, dependencies, milestones and critical path.
Run a structured project kickoff: confirm scope, roles, assumptions and escalation paths in writing with all key stakeholders before delivery begins.
Establish and maintain appropriate project governance: regular cadence meetings, clear agendas, documented decisions and tracked actions; distribute meeting notes within 24 hours.
Ensure clarity on scope, timelines, budget and contracted deliverables at handoff from pre-sales, establish a definitive baseline before delivery commences.

Scope & Change Management -

Manage project scope proactively, identify scope creep early, assess impact formally and work with the Solution Consultant and client through a structured change control process.
Ensure requirements are signed off in writing before build begins; manage any post-sign-off changes as formal change requests with full documentation, impact assessment and stakeholder communication.
Balance the need to accommodate critical changes with the obligation to protect project timeline and budget.

Risk & Issue Management -

Maintain a live risk and issue log throughout the project, reviewed regularly with your delivery team and PS lead.
Identify risks at kickoff and monitor them actively; escalate within 24 hours of identifying a risk that could affect timeline, budget or client satisfaction.
Communicate risk status to the client factually and professionally, clients should never be surprised by risks materialising.

Stakeholder Communication & Reporting

Provide regular, honest RAG status reporting to clients and internal stakeholders, amber communicated early is always better than red communicated late.
Prepare and deliver clear project status updates, written and verbal, calibrated to the audience, whether operational contacts, project sponsors or senior management.
Manage client expectations at the project governance level; escalate relationship risks to your PS lead promptly.

Delivery Coordination -

Coordinate across the PS delivery team, Solution Consultants, Implementation Engineers, Test Analysts and Content colleagues, to ensure workstreams are aligned and dependencies are managed.
Drive the delivery team through the agreed implementation lifecycle, solution design, configuration, data onboarding, testing, UAT, deployment readiness and production deployment.
Run a structured UAT phase with defined acceptance criteria and a clear process for defect management and resolution; obtain written client approval before closing the implementation.
Manage change beyond formal project delivery as needed, including post-deployment change requests, defects and transition into steady-state operations.
