IT Project Manager

We are looking for an experienced IT Project Manager for an initial 12 month Fixed Term Contract (FTC). As an I&T Project Manager within the Integration Programme, you will lead a specific aspect of the integration of DS Smith’s EMEA I&T with International Paper. By their nature the projects within the integration programme will be the most complex and transformational deliverables within DS Smith IT. In early 2025, International Paper acquired DS Smith PLC, creating the world’s leading sustainable packaging company and a top 100 global manufacturer. Together, we operate across EMEA and North America with revenues approaching £30bn. This merger represents a transformative opportunity to harmonise operations, unlock efficiencies, and deliver sustainable growth at scale. The work to achieve this has just begun and constitutes a significant transformation agenda for the next 12-18 months. The I&T part of the business integration programme spans a c.$50bn investment and is critical to ensuring seamless operations across regions. For this role, we are looking for an experienced individual to lead the ’Application Migration’ project, which is delivering the IT work alongside the business and other central functions to enable those applications which are currently centrally hosted by IP in the US to either be rehosted in EMEA, retired or replaced.
