We’re working with a leading global consultancy on a Project Manager contract supporting a major central government transformation programme. This is an opportunity to join a complex, high-profile programme where strong planning, governance, and stakeholder management will be critical to keeping multiple workstreams aligned and delivery on track.
As a Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of the integrated programme plan, critical path, and RAID management, working across multiple workstreams to coordinate dependencies, track key milestones, and ensure risks are identified and escalated early.

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
