Project Background
Epilepsy Ireland is the national organisation working to empower those affected by epilepsy through support, education, awareness, advocacy, and research. A key strategic priority is investment in technology to strengthen governance, efficiency, and impact.

This role primarily is advertised as a part-time temporary contract as an employee of Epilepsy Ireland. Details on how to apply are included in the full job description & pack, available on request.
The Role
Following a comprehensive RFP process resulting in the selection of our chosen platform and partner, we are seeking a highly organised, collaborative project manager with experience delivering CRM migration projects in a nonprofit setting.
This role will play a pivotal role in project success through:
- Creating and leading the project plan
- Managing project scope, budget and timelines to avoid creep
- Overseeing discovery, migration, integration and testing
- Engage stakeholders across all departments
- Provide regular updates to the Senior Leadership Team and Board
- Support and coach staff through the change process
- Successful staged implementation across fundraising, training and services
Project Governance & Stakeholders
A high level project governance structure and timelines are in place - the successful candidate will drive development to finalise this through a robust project plan.
This is an integrated platform migration project, requiring close collaboration with leaders across the organisation and their operational teams to align strategic objectives with delivery spanning data, processes and platform functionality. Key internal stakeholders include Finance, Services, Training, Fundraising, Membership, and Communications.
You will work with Salesforce migration partner Enclude and their project manager, and EI internal teams to ensure smooth delivery — from discovery through data migration, configuration, testing and go-live.
