 Start: ASAP 

At Pace, our consultants genuinely care about the impact our work has on our customers and their customers alike. We are ‘problem solvers’ who call on our collective experience, knowledge and skills to support customers to access benefits early. 

Our mission is to create environments that thrive for our customers; we enable this by providing transformation, process optimisation, and automation services, all with the aim of enabling our customers to harness human autonomy. 

We are reimagining how transformation services are delivered, taking a human-centred approach, and our work is having a material impact on people’s lives. If this resonates with you, we would love to hear from you. 

Role: 

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead a cloud-to-cloud migration project, working with a global law firm headquartered in London. This project focuses on the transition between cloud-based platforms, specifically involving iManage—a widely adopted document management tool in the legal industry. 

You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end delivery of this migration, ensuring minimal disruption to users, and working closely with stakeholders across IT and legal functions. 

What you’ll do: 

• Lead the planning, coordination, and execution of a cloud-to-cloud migration project involving iManage.
• Work directly with a global law firm client to understand requirements and manage expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
• Coordinate across multiple stakeholder groups, including IT, legal teams, vendors, and third-party integrators.
• Develop and manage project plans, timelines, budgets, and risk logs.
• Facilitate regular project meetings and produce clear, concise status reporting.
• Manage change and communications to ensure successful user adoption post-migration.
• Support technical teams in issue resolution and escalation management.

The successful Project Manager will be able to demonstrate: 

• Proven experience leading cloud-to-cloud migration or similar complex technical projects, ideally in professional services or legal environments.
• Familiarity with document management systems; experience with iManage is strongly preferred but not essential.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, particularly within legal and IT functions.
• Deep understanding of project delivery methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid).
• Proficiency with PM tools such as MS Project, Jira, Asana, or equivalent.
• A proactive, delivery-focused mindset and ability to operate in complex, fast-paced environments.

What’s in it for you? 

• An opportunity to join a high-growth, scale-up consulting firm making a material difference in how clients are served.
• Personal development focus with annual appraisals, development plans, and bi-weekly coaching conversations.
• Access to a personal training budget (subject to approval).

Compensation and Benefits: 

• Competitive salary up to £70,000 plus benefits
• 25 days’ annual leave, plus an extra day for your birthday
• Option to purchase up to 10 additional days of leave per year
• Reservist leave: up to 10 days paid
• AVIVA workplace pension scheme
• Save 30–60% on an electric car through The Electric Car Scheme
• Additional benefits available upon conversion to a permanent position
