About the Role
Ready to drive strategic transformation in one of the world’s leading FMCG businesses?
We’re seeking an exceptional Project Manager to join a high-profile Strategy & Transformation team, supporting the delivery of a major UK business strategy. This isn’t a traditional PMO role—you’ll need someone with a consulting or transformation background who can:
- Think strategically
- Bring clarity to complexity
- Influence senior leaders
- Deliver at pace
The ideal candidate excels in both commercial leadership and operational execution, whether building Excel models or shaping Executive decisions.
Responsibilities
As the Project Manager, your core duties will include:
- Lead PMO governance across key strategic programmes, ensuring delivery stays aligned to business priorities, on track, and on time.
- Partner with Executives and Senior Leadership to produce governance packs, steering materials, and decision papers.
- Build and maintain project plans, RAID logs, action trackers, dashboards, and commercially robust Excel models.
- Translate complex data and stakeholder inputs into clear, actionable insights for decision-making.
- Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers, driving pragmatic solutions to keep delivery on track.
- Build trusted cross-functional relationships, aligning teams toward shared goals.
- Own strategic initiatives from inception to execution, rolling up sleeves as needed.
