Business Change - Project Manager
At Premier Foods, we've redesigned our Finance organisation to create a stronger, more specialised and future-focused operating model within Premier Business Services (PBS).
As part of this transformation, we're creating exciting opportunities for talented professionals to develop their expertise, broaden their experience and help shape the future of Financial Operations.
Drive Change. Deliver Impact. Accelerate Growth.
At Premier Foods, we're investing in the future of our Premier Business Services (PBS) operation as we continue our journey towards becoming a £3bn business. Our PBS team plays a critical role in enabling growth across the organisation, driving transformation, simplifying processes and creating better experiences for our colleagues and customers.
As our investment in PBS continues, we're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead key business change, transformation and process improvement initiatives across Finance and the wider business.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing function where you'll lead high-profile projects, work with stakeholders across the business and deliver meaningful change that supports business performance and future growth. Based within our Manchester PBS team, you'll be at the heart of initiatives that help Premier Foods become a more efficient, agile and successful organisation.
What you'll be doing
You'll lead a diverse portfolio of business change, transformation and process improvement projects across PBS and the wider business. Working with stakeholders at all levels, you'll help turn strategic ambitions into practical solutions that improve efficiency, strengthen controls and support growth.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
