Let us introduce ourselves…

At Ampa, our people and our mindset set us apart. We bring together diverse strengths, perspectives and expertise to deliver meaningful, lasting change across our business. We work with pace and ambition, empowering our teams with the autonomy to make decisions, challenge the status quo and drive progress. We trust our people to manage how, when and where they work — what matters is impact, not hours spent at a desk.

We offer a flexible, blended working model across our hubs in Birmingham, Leicester, London, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Solihull, Stratford-upon-Avon and Sheffield. This role combines homeworking with occasional travel to our office locations based on delivery and stakeholder needs.

Our IT team provides high‑quality, fit‑for‑purpose technology and continually evolves our systems and capabilities to enable business growth. This role sits within a specialist team responsible for delivering high‑stakes IT and business change projects across a dynamic and ambitious legal business. As a developing function, you will influence how we shape our delivery model and raise the bar on how change lands across the firm.

We are seeking a Change Project Manager with proven delivery experience across both IT and business change. This is not a coordination role — it is a delivery role for someone who can bring structure to ambiguity, influence senior stakeholders, and drive outcomes despite competing priorities and challenging resource environments.

You will lead complex change initiatives spanning IT infrastructure, business operations and process transformation, ensuring clarity of scope, accountability and measurable outcomes from the outset.

• Lead the delivery of complex IT and business change projects, taking full ownership for driving progress, decision-making and delivery outcomes — not simply facilitating activity.
• Establish clear scope boundaries early, holding stakeholders accountable to agreed objectives, timelines and success measures.
• Navigate ambiguity by actively shaping delivery approaches where detail is unclear, proactively removing blockers and driving decisions to maintain momentum.
• Deliver projects to agreed timelines and budgets, escalating assertively when risks or resource constraints threaten delivery.

• Influence, challenge and guide senior stakeholders, ensuring commitments are met and decisions are made with pace and accountability.
• Run robust governance, ensuring deviations, risks and impacts are surfaced early with clear, evidence-based recommendations.
• Act as the authoritative point of coordination between technical teams, business leads, operations and external partners.

• Operate effectively in constrained or conflicting resource environments, securing support through influence, prioritisation and escalation when necessary.
• Anticipate risks, dependencies and inter-team impacts early, addressing them decisively to protect timelines and scope.
• Maintain rigorous financial oversight, ensuring forecasts, budgets and benefits remain aligned and transparent.

• Facilitate focused design and requirements sessions across IT and business teams, driving clarity on outcomes.
• Ensure capability, process and behavioural changes are fully understood, owned and embedded by business stakeholders.
• Lead structured transitions into BAU,…
