Job Description
Reports to: CEO and Board of Trustees
Line management: none
Checks: Enhanced DBS and two references
Purpose
The Project Manager & Systems Implementation Lead will lead a programme of organisational and systemic change across DATUS, supporting the organisation to move from largely paper-based, informal and inconsistent working practices towards a more structured, reliable and digitally enabled system of operations.
The postholder will work with the CEO, senior managers and the Organisation and Governance Consultant to implement agreed organisational systems, processes and priorities across DATUS. This will include supporting the practical development and day-to-day use of systems such as SharePoint, client records, finance processes, reporting tools, action trackers, governance documents and operational workflows.
The role is focused on turning agreed organisational systems into everyday practice. The postholder will support managers and staff to use systems consistently, identify barriers to implementation, ensure agreed actions are followed through, and escalate risks where systems are not being used or delivery is drifting.
This is a senior implementation role. The postholder will have delegated authority to monitor implementation, challenge drift, request updates, support problem-solving and escalate risks. They will need to work with managers constructively and confidently, without relying on formal line-management authority.
The role does not set the strategic direction of services, replace the authority of service managers, or redefine DATUS’s peer-led model of delivery. Responsibility for service delivery remains with service managers and programme leads. The purpose of this role is to strengthen organisational reliability so that DATUS can grow, evidence its work, meet funder and governance requirements, and protect the integrity of its peer-led approach.
Key Responsibilities
Systems Implementation
- Coordinate the design, testing, implementation, embedding and ongoing improvement of agreed organisational systems, operational frameworks and processes across DATUS.
- Work with the CEO, Organisation and Governance Consultant, senior managers and relevant staff to ensure new systems are practical, usable and aligned with organisational priorities.
- Support the implementation of key systems, including client records, finance processes, SharePoint, reporting tools, action trackers, governance documents and other operational workflows.
- Ensure new systems and applications are properly documented, maintained and managed once implemented.
- Develop practical guidance, templates, processes and tools to support consistent use across the organisation.
- Identify practical barriers to implementation and work with teams to resolve them.
Embedding & Adoption
- Work with Heads of Service, managers and staff to embed agreed systems into everyday practice.
- Ensure staff are trained, supported and confident in using organisational systems.
- Reinforce consistent ways of working across programmes and teams, while recognising the different practical needs of each service.
- Gather feedback from staff and managers to identify what is working, what is not working, and what needs to be improved.
- Support a culture where systems are used to strengthen delivery, accountability and learning, not simply to create paperwork.
Delivery Assurance
- Maintain oversight of agreed organisational priorities, implementation plans, actions and milestones.
- Track progress against agreed deliverables and ensure actions are completed, followed up or escalated where necessary.
- Hold short, structured check-ins with managers and staff responsible for delivery to confirm priorities, review progress, identify barriers and agree next steps.
- Challenge drift constructively where agreed systems are not being used or actions are not progressing.
- Maintain clear action logs, risk logs and implementation trackers so that commitments are visible and followed through.
Organisational Coordination
- Maintain visibility of operational activity across DATUS and support clear communication between leadership and operational teams.
- Help managers and teams understand how their work connects to wider organisational priorities, funder requirements and governance expectations.
- Support coordination across programmes so that systems, reporting and operational processes are aligned rather than fragmented.
Reporting & Escalation
- Provide regular updates to senior leadership on implementation progress, risks, barriers, adoption issues and system effectiveness.
- Escalate issues where delivery is not on track, where risks are not being managed, or where agreed systems are not being used.
- Support clear evidence of progress for internal governance, funders, commissioners and organisational learning.
Performance & Systems Integration
- Work closely with the Performance & Finance Lead to align finance systems, client data systems, KPI reporting and organisational dashboards.
- Ensure systems support accurate, timely and useful data capture, including outcome tracking, pathway reporting and recovery intelligence.
- Support the development of dashboards, reports and practical management information that helps DATUS understand performance and improve delivery.
Policies, Procedures & Governance
- Support the development, implementation and review of organisational policies, procedures and governance frameworks.
- Translate policies into practical processes that staff can understand and use.
- Monitor compliance with agreed processes, identify gaps and support managers to address them.
- Ensure governance documents, templates and procedures are kept organised, accessible and up to date.
Continuous Improvement
- Identify where systems are not working effectively and support practical improvements.
- Work with leadership, managers and staff to refine systems and processes based on evidence and feedback.
- Promote a culture of continuous improvement, follow-through and shared organisational learning.
