Project Manager Enterprise Systems IT Portfolio

Location: London, UK – hybrid

Department: IT – Enterprise Systems & IT Portfolio

Line Manager: Joint reporting to VP IT and Head of Enterprise Systems, with capacity split 50/50 across both portfolios

Contract Terms: Permanent, full-time

The Enterprise Systems and IT portfolio covers the business-critical platforms and change programmes that YouGov depends on to operate, including finance and business systems, system selections and platform implementations. As that portfolio grows, it needs a consistent way of planning, governing and delivering change across both leadership areas it spans.

This role provides that project management backbone. It is deliberately designed to evolve: the initial focus is on preparing and mobilising projects — building business cases, plans and governance — before transitioning into a delivery capacity as those projects are scheduled, carrying scoping knowledge directly into execution. Working across two senior leaders’ portfolios, the postholder acts as a trusted delivery partner, giving both leaders a single, reliable view of portfolio health and freeing them to focus on strategy and stakeholder relationships.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (TECHNICAL & BEHAVIOURAL SKILLS/COMPETENCIES)

Behaviours

Join our global team to help us achieve our social mission: to make millions of people’s opinions heard for the benefit of our local, national, and international communities.

Understanding diversity of opinion requires diversity of background. Although our global panel of millions of people worldwide powers our research, our biggest asset is our people. If our research is to be truly representative of what the world thinks, we need people from all walks of life to be part of the team to bring their perspective to the work we do.

We are driven by a set of shared values. We are fast, fearless, and innovative. We work diligently to get it right. We are guided by accuracy, ethics, and proven methodologies. We respect and trust each other, bringing these values into everything that we do.

We strive to provide YouGovers with best-in-class benefits to support their physical, financial, and emotional wellbeing. We want our employees to have a sense of belonging and uniqueness in a supportive workplace, so they can bring their full selves to work.
