The Role:

Hampshire County Council is one of the best performing local authorities in the country providing high quality public services to over a million customers. Our IT teams are central to that success - building and delivering Digitally Optimised and cost-effective solutions, with a national reputation for IT excellence, innovation, and value. We’re entering a major period of transformation as local government is reshaped - creating a rare opportunity for IT professionals to make a lasting impact.

Our Projects and Programmes Team is a busy and dynamic change function, supporting the departments of the authority to deliver transformation, savings, and service improvements whilst working within formal governance structures and processes.

We’re seeking an IT Project Manager for a permanent contract, with significant skills and experience of managing end to end delivery of large, complex projects.

You’ll help design and deliver digital services that support over a million residents, working on modern platforms, data-driven solutions, and secure, cloud-based technologies.

You must be creative and innovative, with strong competence in financial management and ability to present and report to senior management. You will also be self-motivated and committed to ongoing personal development.

We’re looking for people who embrace change, think creatively, and want to make a difference through technology.
