Project Description
We're building a delivery team for a large, multi-phase enterprise Mendix programme and are looking for a Project Manager to lead delivery end to end. The programme integrates with about 20 systems through an enterprise service bus (ESB). These include government services, banks, a payment gateway, and enterprise platforms such as CRM, finance and accounting, chatbot and data management. Many external systems respond asynchronously, so integration dependencies and third-party coordination are central to delivery.
