Leeds, United Kingdom Zest Full time

Job Description

Our aim is to become a market leader in the provision of Electric Vehicle charging solutions to Local Authorities and Businesses as part of our strategy to lead the transition to zero carbon.

The goal is to undertake an ambitious electric vehicle charging installation program, deploying high volume and quality EV installations across the nation. Our aim is to make the world a better place, one charge point at a time.

About the role

The IT Project Manager will run the agile scrum process, in conjunction with the Business Analysts and Lead Developers, as a servant leader.

  • Using agile methodology values, principles, and practices to plan, manage, and deliver solutions.
  • Working with the Business Analysts to determining and managing tasks, issues, risks, and action items.
  • Scheduling and facilitating scrum events, meetings, and decision-making processes.
  • Monitoring progress and performance and helping teams to make improvements.
  • Planning and organising demos and product/system testing in conjunction with the quality assurance team
  • Ensuring the proper use of collaborative processes and removing impediments for the scrum team
  • Tracking project processes, deliverables, and financials.
  • Preparing and presenting status reports to stakeholders
  • Timely and accurate reporting of project progress
  • Tracking of project costs, working in conjunction with Finance team
  • Management of risk and issues registers
  • Presentation of project status at overarching customer Project Board meetings
  • Coordinating key internal and external partners, including third-party contractors, to deliver quality, on time and at the agreed cost
  • Working with other key parties to ensure Zest is continuously working to improve how we do business
  • Plus, any other duties as required by the leadership team
