4 weeks ago

Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya Save the Children Full time

Role Purpose:

The Senior Project Manager for the Shared Services for CRM Project sits within the Project and Change Management Team that is part of the Transformation Delivery Department within Save the Children International. This team is responsible for managing the change management activities and deployment of projects into 60 Country and Regional offices and 29 Member organisations. We support different types of Transformation Projects and Programmes relating to Business Process, Organisation and System changes.

In Save the Children, we currently have a diverse landscape of Customer Relationship Management CRM platforms in use. With this project, we are looking to implement a Core CRM solution via Salesforce with a set of Global Shared Services for the benefit of our global movement. We will place an immediate focus on clusters of member countries that are using Salesforce CRM platforms, alongside member countries who are in the process of implementation projects, but acting independently. Through delivery of this project, we aim to streamline and offer a standardised core CRM solution, accessible across our movement. We will look to offer a variety of Shared Services for CRM to help members maximise their ability to interact with their donors and to enhance our global fundraising capabilities while promoting collaboration and harmonisation between parallel implementation projects. It is a complex project, with a high level of visibility and will require senior level engagement with stakeholders from across the movement.

This role will be responsible for the planning, preparation and deployment of Shared Services for CRM and its associated business processes into the Save the Children Association. You will work collaboratively with an implementing partner and play a key role in establishing an Agile approach to project delivery within a traditionally Waterfall environment with established methodology and processes. This is a key initiative for SCA and will be key to drive greater efficiencies.

The role holder will be responsible for establishing and maintaining the required project and portfolio management reporting including risk and issues logs, dependencies, status updates etc. In addition, they will be required to act as Scrum Master and lead all team ceremonies as well manage the Agile Project Management deliverables as part of the newly defined Save the Children Agile delivery framework. The role will also be required to work closely with the Business Analyst, Member Project Teams, Change teams and External Vendors. The senior project manager will work with the Global Change Manager to manage the relationship with the Member offices and work with an international team of IT staff and subject matter experts to drive the deployment forward.
