The job:
Our Senior Project Managers play a critical role in the successful delivery of complex client and internal projects, with accountability from initial scoping through to go-live and early-life support.
Their role combines strong delivery leadership, stakeholder engagement, and hands-on project management to ensure outcomes are delivered to a high standard, on time, and in line with client and organisational objectives.
Acting as a trusted delivery partner, you’ll work closely with clients and internal teams to translate requirements into structured, achievable delivery plans, while building strong and effective working relationships across stakeholders at all levels.

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.
