Software Implementation Project Manager

Edinburgh | £60,000 - £70,000 | Permanent

Published: 20.02.26 Ref: BBBH52413_1771589239

A global market-leading healthcare technology business in Edinburgh is looking for an Implementation Project Manager initially on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with a great chance of it converting to a permanent role. The organisation is trusted by hospitals and healthcare providers and has a reputation for delivering AI-driven solutions that streamline healthcare operations and provide clinicians with smarter insights. With a record-breaking quarter recently behind them, this is an exciting opportunity to work with a company that is both innovative and highly respected.

This is an end-to-end project role with genuine ownership. You'll lead complex, client-facing software implementations for healthcare providers, seeing projects through from initiation to handover, and ensuring solutions are delivered efficiently, adopted successfully, and generate real value.

About the Company

This organisation was one of the first in its field to bring AI into real-world healthcare environments not as a gimmick, but as practical technology embedded directly into existing systems. Their platform enables clinicians to access multiple advanced applications through a single, integrated environment, removing the friction of disconnected tools and helping teams work smarter under increasing time pressure.

Rather than replacing healthcare professionals, their technology is designed to support them, reducing workload, accelerating workflows, and enabling faster, better-informed decisions. The business is experiencing high client demand and has a bright future roadmap, continuing to strengthen its position as a trusted partner to healthcare organisations globally.

The company still has a start-up feel with an innovative and collaborative environment. The culture is second to none, with very positive workplace metrics (well above average), reflecting how well it treats and supports its people.

The Role

You will coordinate across internal teams, external partners, and healthcare clients to deliver high-quality software implementations. You will manage scope, timelines, and resources, proactively identify and mitigate risks, and ensure a smooth transition to operational teams. Projects are primarily delivered using Waterfall methodology, so a structured, methodical approach is essential.

Key Responsibilities

** Lead end-to-end client implementation projects, managing scope, timelines, and resources to ensure successful delivery.

** Act as the primary point of contact for clients, partners, and internal teams, facilitating communication and collaboration.

** Proactively identify and manage risks and issues, implementing mitigation strategies and escalating when necessary.

** Maintain detailed project plans, track milestones, and report on project progress, ensuring alignment with contractual commitments.

** Coordinate training and enablement activities to support client adoption and operational readiness.

** Contribute to continuous improvement by sharing lessons learned and best practices across the team.

About You

** Proven experience delivering client-facing software projects from end-to-end - essential

** Strong stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills, engaging technical and non-technical audiences alike

** Excellent planning, organisational, and risk management capabilities, with high attention to detail

** Familiarity with structured project delivery methodologies, primarily Waterfall, and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Smartsheet, Asana)

** Background in healthcare technology, healthcare environments, and professional certifications such as PMP or CSM are a plus

** Strong commercial acumen, understanding the business and client impact of project decisions

** Enthusiastic, energetic, and proactive, taking ownership to drive projects forward while maintaining a collaborative approach

This role comes with a salary up to £70,000 plus benefits. It is a 12-month fixed-term contract with the opportunity to convert to permanent as soon as possible. The company operates a remote-first working model, with the team meeting in Edinburgh every couple of months, and with the expectation that candidates can also attend ad hoc company events, client meetings etc. There may also be occasional travel to Europe with all travel and expenses fully covered

Candidates

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.
