Senior Project Manager to lead process reviews ahead of an enterprise solution implementation

Our valued Public Sector client requires a Senior Project Manager to lead process reviews ahead of an enterprise solution implementation. 

The team is designing a solution that will act as a one stop shop for all internal services, beginning with Human Resources and Real Property and Security Services.

The objectives of the portal are:

• to make it easy for service clients to request services
• to streamline business processes, where possible, so that service providers can be more efficient

The consultant will lead the development of business requirements, lead process reviews including facilitating consultations with stakeholders, and evaluate existing business processes to identify the best options to onboard them onto the portal, with the aim of streamlining processing and improving workflows.

The client is looking to further develop and refine the roadmap for change and the requirements for successful implementation of the enterprise solution. Specifically, an analysis of the current service delivery model and its variance to the proposed service delivery model, and the development of strategies to align all stakeholders to a new service delivery model. The objective of this project is to modernize the client's business administration functions through a unified horizontal enterprise solution, thereby enabling employees across the Agency to focus more on their core responsibilities and less on administrative tasks.
