The Company:
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join CSL, a leading international IoT service provider specialising in sectors including Fire, Security, Health and much more. CSL is a rapidly growing, private equity backed company with operations in multiple countries, including the UK, Ireland, the Nordics, Benelux and Spain.

The Person:
The ideal candidate will be a successful Project Manager with proven ability to engage with a technical team to ensure predictable results - delivery on time to a high level of quality. The right person will have a technical or product development background who understands the process of building software-based solutions, and utilises this to manage an “informed” and accurate plan. The individual will be able to understand what the top-level messages are pertinent when communicating to management and the executive team.
They must be confident and capable to engage at different levels of the organisation, with different individual communication styles. Communications and management will include external contractors and 3rd party organisations. They must thrive in an ambiguous environment and focus more on outcomes than process. They should be able to apply an appropriate approach to planning that is relevant to the scale and importance of the project and understand what is “good enough” to be described as “done”.
