Interim Senior Project Manager

Project Manager – Employee Handbook Delivery (Contract)

A large international B2B organisation operating in the pool, spa, and outdoor living sector is seeking an experienced Project Manager to drive the final delivery and rollout of a multi‑country Employee Handbook across Europe.

This organisation is part of a global market leader and operates across multiple jurisdictions, working closely with local entities, EU headquarters, and external legal counsel.

Role Overview

The project is at an advanced stage, with most content drafted. The focus has now shifted to final delivery, validation, and deployment. The successful consultant will take ownership of coordinating stakeholders, driving timelines, and ensuring the handbook is completed and rolled out efficiently by the September deadline.

This is a delivery‑focused role requiring strong coordination skills rather than pure HR or legal expertise.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the end‑to‑end delivery of the Employee Handbook rollout
• Coordinate between:
• External local law firms
• In‑country stakeholders
• EU headquarters for final sign‑off
• Ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance of content with local employment regulations
• Track progress, decisions, changes, and approvals, maintaining a clear audit trail
• Actively challenge and align stakeholders to keep delivery on track
• Prepare and manage rollout plans, timelines, and clear status reporting

Key Requirements

• Proven experience delivering complex, multi‑country policy or handbook projects
• Strong project management and stakeholder coordination background
• Experience taking over and completing projects at a late stage
• Confident communicator, able to drive clarity and momentum
• Fluency in English is essential; French is strongly preferred (a standout English‑only candidate may be considered)
• Comfortable working with legal counsel and multiple international stakeholders

Additional Details

• Contract role (approx. 20–30 hours per week initially)
• Handover period required (circa one month)
• Location: UK or Europe
• This is a remote role.
