project manager Edinburgh, Scotland
Job description
Project Manager - Edinburgh
Who are We..?
Founded in 2014 and based in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Forrit helps organisations when they need to do more with less; our future-proof CMS provides them with operational efficiency – and cost savings too. We help them reduce third-party software costs and create fast pay-back on their investment.
Our customers are based in some of the most highly regulated industries, so with a host of security and audit features built-in, our cloud-native CMS helps them reduce risk and comply with regulations. Customisable approval processes, clear audit trails and optional roll-back keep them in control and as we’re a Microsoft Partner they can be confident of getting a secure, scalable and reliable solution. What’s more, working with us lets you leverage your organisation’s committed cloud spend with Microsoft.
Tell me more about the Role..?
As an experienced Project Manager with a few years in the industry, you should have demonstrable experience working in project and process management roles in a web delivery environment. A critical thinker and problem solver, you’ll be comfortable working alongside a team of developers and be able to demonstrate proficiency in the coordination and management of technical web projects from concept to delivery.
By owning the day-to-day management of priorities and acting as a conduit between teams, the Project Manager helps to ensure that Forrit continuously meets quality and timeline objectives.
- Apply agile project management methodologies to the successful running of new and evolving build projects
- Utilise project management systems, including Jira, Azure DevOps and Microsoft Teams to effectively manage the workflow of all tasks
- Identify and implement ongoing project and process improvements
- Lead regular status & planning meetings

What do I need to Bring..?
We’re looking for someone who has a strong sense of ownership and is self-directed, whilst working effectively as a team player both with people in the Project Team and wider business. Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment and deal with ambiguity from customer enquiries, you need to possess critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
With PMI/PMP qualifications and being constantly curious and wanting to develop your skills further, it would be great if you have familiarity with the technical aspects of CMS web delivery management and an eye for how to make a customer successful whilst using our platform. Driven by identifying opportunity to make positive change, you can guide a customer through their first 100 days and beyond, building trusted relationships and creating advocacy for our platform through positive experience.
