About the Company
This is an established automotive components manufacturer known for quality lighting solutions and a genuinely customer-first approach — on a mission to become the most customer-centric vehicle lighting supplier in the industry. Their culture is built on innovation, craftsmanship, and hands-on ownership, with a brand-new HQ to match their ambitions.
About the Role
This is a broad, high-ownership Project Manager role overseeing product development projects end-to-end — from initial concept right through to production. Reporting to the Product Development Manager, you’ll own delivery against the product roadmap and bespoke customer programmes, meaning you’ll need genuine technical understanding of the product development process, not just project management process. You’ll be the person who keeps design, engineering, and customer requirements aligned and moving — solving problems, making evidence-based decisions under pressure, and holding the team accountable to deliver.
