Amaris Consulting is looking for a Programme Manager, CP R&D IT to join our team. In this high-impact role, you will lead a major transformation initiative to decommission a complex legacy system, coordinating across multiple squads to ensure seamless migration, system continuity, and minimal disruption to users.

Your responsibilities :

  • Provide end-to-end programme leadership, including planning, delivery, and governance of the legacy decommissioning programme, ensuring alignment with both technical and business objectives.
  • Map and manage complex inter-system dependencies, developing and maintaining a delivery roadmap for staged decommissioning without impacting business continuity.
  • Coordinate technical activities to ensure new capabilities (APIs, data models, mastering systems, etc.) are developed and deployed on time to replace and retire legacy components.
  • Collaborate with engineering squads, product teams, and business stakeholders to align delivery plans, resolve conflicts, and manage expectations.
  • Support the platform lead in creating and executing robust onboarding and communications plans to transition teams onto new systems effectively.
  • Identify, track, and mitigate delivery and continuity risks across multiple teams and project phases.
  • Provide regular governance and reporting, highlighting progress, risks, and key decision points.

Your profile :

  • Proven experience leading complex IT transformation or decommissioning programmes with multiple delivery teams.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise IT systems, data flows, APIs, and legacy-to-modern system transitions.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and cross-functional leadership skills.
  • Skilled in dependency management across distributed systems and teams.
  • Experience creating phased implementation plans to support non-disruptive change.
  • Familiarity with agile delivery methodologies and tools, such as Scaled Agile, Scrum of Scrums, Big Room Planning, JIRA, and Confluence.
  • Experience in Life Sciences and / or Research and Development environments is preferable, but not essential.

    • Why choose us?

  • An international community with over 110 nationalities.
  • An environment where trust is paramount : 70% of our leaders started their careers at the entry-level.
  • A robust training system with our internal Academy and over 250 modules available.
  • A dynamic workplace with regular events (afterworks, team buildings, etc.).
  • Strong commitments to CSR, notably through our WeCare Together program.

    • Amaris Consulting is proud to promote diversity within its workforce and to create an inclusive work environment. We consider applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, beliefs, age, marital status, disability, or any other characteristic.
