We are seeking a Senior Salesforce Programme Manager to help a Manchester-based business complete its migration from Dynamics to Salesforce. Around 250 users have moved across, testing is nearly complete, and go-live is targeted for February. The programme is behind schedule, and the board needs an experienced Programme Manager to lead it through the high-risk data migration and cutover period. This is a 3–6 month contract, outside IR35, with clearly defined deliverables and potential further phase two and hypercare planning. The role is hybrid, with 2–3 days per week on-site in Manchester and some flexibility for the right candidate.
