About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead a high-profile property transformation and relocation programme for a prestigious London-based regulator.

You will play a pivotal role in ensuring a smooth transition, with minimal disruption to the regulator’s important public-facing and operational activities. Working closely with senior leadership, external property consultants and key stakeholders, you will deliver the programme from initial strategy through to occupation of the new premises.
Key Responsibilities

- Develop and manage a comprehensive project plan covering every stage of the relocation.
- Coordinate the disposal and sale of the current headquarters, working with commercial property agents, solicitors and other professional advisers.
- Support the search, evaluation and acquisition of a new office building of approximately 50,000 sq ft.
- Manage feasibility studies, building assessments and due diligence activities.
- Coordinate negotiations with landlords, vendors, surveyors and legal representatives.
- Act as the central point of contact for internal and external stakeholders throughout the programme.
- Manage project budgets, procurement activity and financial reporting.
- Identify, monitor and mitigate risks, ensuring effective governance and reporting.
- Coordinate architects, designers, workplace consultants, contractors and fit-out partners.
- Develop and implement a move strategy that protects business continuity throughout the transition.
- Manage workplace planning, furniture requirements, IT migration and operational readiness.
- Lead employee communications and engagement activity to support organisational change.
- Ensure compliance with relevant health and safety, statutory and regulatory requirements.
- Produce regular progress reports and presentations for executive leadership and project boards.
