Job Details

Are you an experienced project manager with a flair for Retail and IT projects? We’re looking for a project manager to support the delivery of complex internal projects to time and budget with our business leads. In this exciting role, you’ll be responsible for the full project life cycle.


What can you expect from the role?

This opportunity will see you working with departments and stakeholders across the business to drive implementation through design, build and delivery. We’ll look to you to define the project scope, work with your project teams to create project documentation and manage the project through to successful delivery, ensuring that the program is aligned and supporting our strategic objectives.

The beauty of this role is no two days are ever the same. You’ll be managing the day-to-day operational aspects of complex projects, whilst actively identifying, managing, and mitigating any risks. Building relationships with key stakeholders, you’ll make sure input is received and communication is provided throughout the project.

We’ll also look to you to provide leadership for the project team through coaching and mentoring to make sure all project objectives and milestones are met. You’ll also provide insight to the business on the project milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks and challenges.

At Vision Express we win together, so all our colleagues have a role to play in making our customers and colleagues feel special. It is up to you to bring our brand to life and be involved in shaping our success, by working closely with your team to build a high achieving environment that delivers a great customer experience.


You can expect a busy but high achieving environment with a purpose, culture, and values to match, where everyone is working towards the same goal: creating joy in vision for our colleagues and customers.

 

About you

We are looking for candidates with previous experience within a similar role, ideally with IT or retail projects. You’ll have at least a basic understanding of SAP and ERP systems and will be able to demonstrate your ability to work in a dynamic, fast paced environment.  You will need an analytical and process driven approach to problem solving and process improvements.


Due to the nature of the role, we are looking for someone who has a collaborative style and demonstrates initiative and creativity and ownership in their approach. You’ll ideally have your Prince 2 or AGILE qualifications too.


We know you matter and that is why it is our commitment to make this a job you enjoy by recognising your achievements and encouraging you to be involved in shaping our success. Our game changing leaders will support your career with excellent training and development opportunities. There are limitless horizons, whether that be professionally or into management.

 

 

Company

Here at Vision Express, we’re creating something special for everyone, everywhere. We create joy in vision for our colleagues and customers. With over 600 Vision Express stores, we’re also part of the leading international optical retail group GrandVision, who is part of the EssilorLuxottica group.

You might ask, what is joy in vision? Joy in vision is about making a real difference. We’re always human and we build our relationships on trust, to create relationships that last. We’re genuinely interested in our customers and let every colleague’s voice be heard.

Our people are unique and when combined, we’re stronger than ever. We’re striving, creating, and winning – together.
