Ideally, the successful candidate will have significant experience working within the healthcare sector.

The Software Implementation Project Manager is results focused and has extensive experience working with clients. Our Project Delivery Team coordinates the successful delivery of multiple parallel projects using a well-thought-out delivery process. The Software Implementation Project Manager will work closely with clients taking a balanced and measured view of implementing projects and aligning client requirements from both the client and a Softworks point of view.

This will include gathering the client’s requirements, implementing these requirements onsite and guiding the client through each step of the process up to and including going live.

Ideally, someone who has proven experience installing T&A and Scheduling software onsite for large healthcare organizations.

The Software Implementation Project Manager will, from time to time, be required to provide support to our Sales Team during the formulation of the software solution, utilizing standard product mixed with custom elements; always taking an optimal approach during implementation to ensure a quick and successful go-live whilst focussing on delivering on time and to budget.
