Senior Project Manager – Legacy Platform Decommissioning

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager, based in Spain and working 100% remotely, to support one of the leading global pharmaceutical companies.

In this role, you will lead the end‑to‑end decommissioning of a legacy platform, coordinating cross‑functional teams to design, build, and test all required interfaces in the new environment. This is a highly hands‑on delivery role, driving tangible outcomes, managing complex dependencies, and ensuring a seamless transition while maintaining full business continuity throughout the migration.

Key Accountabilities
  • Lead the decommissioning of the legacy platform and migration to the new solution.
  • Coordinate cross‑functional teams to design, build, and test required interfaces.
  • Resolve blockers quickly and maintain delivery momentum.
  • Ensure smooth coexistence between legacy and new platforms during transition.
  • Manage risks, cutover activities, and go‑live with minimal business impact.
  • Track dependencies, align stakeholders, and support decision‑making.
  • Oversee budget, resource allocation, and vendor costs.
  • Execute controlled shutdown of legacy components and handle data archival.
  • Drive a results‑focused delivery culture and ensure progress toward milestones.

Required Experience & Skills
Essential
  • Senior‑level experience delivering complex IT transformation projects.
  • Strong technical understanding by collaborating with architects, developers, and infrastructure teams.
  • Proven experience in platform migrations or system decommissioning.
  • Ability to influence and coordinate cross‑functional teams without direct authority.
  • Hands‑on, problem‑solving mindset and comfort diving into technical detail.
  • Solid budget management skills (tracking, forecasting, cost control).
  • High level of English (spoken and written).

Desirable
  • Background in data platforms, enterprise integration, or application modernisation programmes
  • Understanding of API design, data integration patterns, ETL processes, and cloud platform architectures
  • Experience working in regulated industries with compliance and data governance requirements

What We Offer
  • Freelance collaboration through Hays, providing a streamlined and professional contracting experience.
  • 100% remote work, with occasional on‑site visits to our Barcelona offices only when strictly required.
  • Ongoing support throughout the engagement, ensuring smooth onboarding and day‑to‑day collaboration.
  • Competitive rates aligned with senior expertise and market standards.
  • Opportunity to contribute to a high‑impact transformation project in a dynamic, international environment.
