Project Manager Opportunity
I'm recruiting on behalf of my client for a Project Manager to join its Change Team during a significant period of business and technology transformation.
There is plenty of proper PM work here: planning, governance, risk, reporting, dependencies and delivery. But the hiring manager is equally interested in what you do when the project does not fit neatly into the plan.
- Can you get into a project, work out where it really is, build relationships, ask useful questions, remove blockers and keep things moving without needing someone to hold your hand?
The portfolio is broad and priorities can move. Depending on when you join, you could pick up a defined work package within one of the major transformation programmes, BAU/legacy technology change, or a number of self-contained projects. The common thread is ownership and judgement.
This role does not offer visa sponsorship, so you’ll need to already have the right to work in the UK and be able to travel to the central Glasgow office when required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we are looking for
- Strong hands-on project management experience, with evidence that you have independently owned and driven delivery.
- Enough technical grounding to work credibly with software, infrastructure, data and technology teams. You do not need to be a developer, but you do need to be comfortable asking technical experts the right questions.
- A proactive approach to risk and issues: attempt to solve the problem, bring options and escalate with context rather than simply reporting that something is red.
- Strong stakeholder skills and the confidence to challenge constructively, create clarity and maintain visibility when priorities compete.
- Adaptability and resilience. This is an active transformation environment, so the successful person needs to be comfortable when the route changes.
- A genuine team mindset. The PM and BA functions are being brought closer together as part of a wider ambition to build a high-performing Change capability.

Experience
The written brief references 5+ years of PM experience, but this is not a hard cut-off. The level matters more than the number: Golden Charter is looking for who has seen enough delivery to work independently and credibly.
Experience in regulated environments and third-party supplier management is useful, but neither is a hard requirement.
Benefits
- Circa £50,000 salary
- 12-month fixed-term contract, with potential for a further 3-6 month extension
- Hybrid working central Glasgow
- 28 days annual leave
- 6% employer pension contribution
- Medicash health cash plan
- Sick pay after probation
If you like being close enough to the detail to know what is really happening, but senior enough to create momentum around it, I would be interested in speaking to you.
