Project Manager - 12 Month FTC

Lewes | Hybrid Working (2 days per week on site) | Up to £54,000

LHH are delighted to be partnering with a respected organisation to recruit a Project Manager on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is an exciting opportunity to join a busy change function delivering a portfolio of strategic business and digital transformation projects that support operational excellence and long-term organisational objectives.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager with a strong background in delivering complex projects across the full project lifecycle. The successful candidate will work with senior stakeholders, project teams, and external partners to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to agreed objectives.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
