What a strong PM candidate looks like for this
project (hiring-manager lens) A strong candidate for this role should look
like a delivery PM who is comfortable running a technically dense, enterprise
change programme with heavy dependencies on environments, vendors, and testing. I would
prioritise someone who has led platform upgrades, major release validation, or
large-scale regression/smoke-test programmes in which infrastructure readiness, software licensing, technical SMEs, test coordination, and business communication
all had to move in lockstep.
The strongest fit is likely someone who can: turn an ambiguous "50/50 estimate"
into disciplined execution through structured governance, milestones, RAID
management, and crisp decision escalation; coordinate deeply technical teams without
needing to be the architect, especially across environment, DBA, application,
custom code, and test workstreams; manage external/vendor dependencies well,
especially where licence delivery, release notes, product roadmap clarity, and
demo/education sessions with the vendor influence timing and stakeholder
confidence; handle execution under constrained capacity,
including explicit prioritisation of BAU versus change, and explain trade-offs
credibly to senior stakeholders; translate a technical smoke test into executive
decisions: whether to progress, pause, re-scope, or sequence follow-on
capability work. Drive prioritisation decisions and alignment
with broader upgrade strategy Provide concise executive updates with clear
risks, decisions required, and next steps Demonstrate ETRM experience, preferably Endur Demonstrate knowledge of the Trading & Supply
landscape
Roles and Responsibilities: Agree and deliver programmes, projects, and
workstreams to agreed time, cost, quality, risk, and benefit, within Shell's
standards and controls framework. Proactively analyse variances against plan
and trends threatening agreed scope, time, cost, and quality commitments.
Identify where a project may be at risk and take appropriate action. Engage
internal and external stakeholders, e.g, users/customers/suppliers, to
benefit from the delivered products, services, and changes. Develop and execute
appropriate change and engagement plans to achieve necessary behaviour changes
and maximise benefits. Align expectations and ensure that stakeholders'
decisions are timely and effective. Mobilise and lead teams with a mixture
of staff and suppliers across organisational boundaries and the
natural team. Ensure they have the necessary skills, capacity, and experience to
achieve the required outcomes. Develop the skills of team members through
coaching, delegation, and providing stretching assignments. Understand, assess, and embed the right delivery methodologies, considering project and business
constraints. Assess programme risks and evaluate trade-offs between cost,
time, quality, risk, and benefit, managing the business cases of your projects
and workstreams. Ensure all deliverables are fit for purpose, meet all relevant
requirements, and are effectively transitioned to support and business-as-usual.
Ensure that the business value intended by the work is explicit, agreed, and
delivered.
