Salary: £65,000 per annum
Hybrid working: 3 days office | 2 days home
We are looking for an exceptional Project Manager to play a key role in delivering a significant programme of IT change and transformation for one of our key clients.
This is a hands-on delivery role for a highly capable Project Manager who can take ownership of complex technology-led projects, create structure and momentum, and drive delivery from initial scoping through to successful implementation.
Working across technology, operations and the wider business, you will manage multiple stakeholders, competing priorities and dependencies, ensuring projects are delivered to agreed scope, quality, budget and timescales.
This role requires more than project coordination. We need a confident, resilient and delivery-focused Project Manager who will challenge constructively, drive accountability and maintain control in a fast-moving environment.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Lead the end-to-end delivery of IT change and transformation projects
- Define project scope, objectives, deliverables and success measures
- Develop and maintain project plans, milestones and delivery roadmaps
- Manage budgets, resources, risks, issues and dependencies
- Coordinate internal teams, technical specialists and third-party suppliers
- Establish effective governance, reporting and decision-making processes
- Produce clear and concise updates for senior stakeholders and governance forums

- Hold stakeholders, delivery teams and suppliers accountable for agreed actions
- Translate technical requirements and challenges into clear business language
- Ensure solutions are operationally ready and effectively embedded
- Support stakeholder engagement, communication and business change activity
- Track project outcomes and ensure expected benefits are realised
- Drive continuous improvement across project delivery methods and controls
You will be comfortable working with senior leaders, operational teams, technology specialists and external partners. You will bring clarity to ambiguity, remain composed under pressure and have the confidence to challenge decisions or behaviours that could put delivery at risk.
You will combine robust project governance with a pragmatic and commercially aware approach. Most importantly, you will take ownership and be personally driven to deliver tangible results.
