What’s your possible? At Northrop Grumman UK, you are part of a team driving innovation where it matters most – solving tomorrow’s challenges and shaping the technology solutions of the future. It’s what we call Defining Possible. This mindset goes beyond our customer solutions; it’s the foundation for your career development and the impact we have within the community.
The Opportunity
This is more than just a job; it’s a mission. We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our UK Cyber & Intelligence business. Our teams combine modern software-engineering practices with deep Defence and national-security expertise. You’ll play a key role in delivering complex, sensitive, and high-impact technology projects that support customers through ambitious digital transformation. You will join a team that thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and innovation — working at scale and pace to make a real-world difference.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading projects to deliver agreed outcomes within time, cost, and quality constraints.
- Providing day-to-day leadership to the project team, ensuring effective decision-making and strong management controls.
- Designing the project structure, setting appropriate delivery methodologies, and managing transitions between phases.
- Developing and maintaining business cases, budgets, and project plans, ensuring performance and progress are clearly reported.
- Building and developing high-performing teams, identifying resource requirements, and supporting recruitment where required.
- Managing stakeholder relationships, ensuring clear communication and senior-level engagement.
- Identifying, monitoring, and reporting risks and issues, driving mitigation and escalation where appropriate.
- Supporting governance and assurance processes, including gateway reviews and change-control mechanisms.
