Retail Project Manager £550–£575 per day | Inside IR35 | Initial 6 months Hybrid working: 2–3 days per week in Newcastle upon Tyne
TrueNorth are supporting a large UK retail organisation delivering a major technology and operational transformation across its retail estate.
We are looking for an experienced Retail Project Manager to lead detailed, hands-on delivery across retail technology, business change, and legacy-system decommissioning.
The Role
You will turn scope into a detailed and deliverable plan, then drive that plan through functional delivery, development, testing, data, cutover, and business readiness.
This role requires someone who works close to the detail, understands the critical path, and identifies delivery problems before they appear in programme reporting.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
