Project Manager (Fixed-Term Contract, 9 Months)
Brighton (Hybrid)
At MPB, we're on a mission to make photography and videography more accessible, affordable, and sustainable. As the world's leading platform for used camera equipment, we help creators buy, sell, and trade kit with confidence, extending the life of thousands of products every day and supporting a more circular future for our industry.
As we continue to scale, we're looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to join our Engineering function, and help drive two strategically important technical programmes that will support the next stage of MPB's growth.
The opportunity
This is a role for someone who thrives on bringing clarity to complexity.
You'll take ownership of two high-priority engineering programmes, working closely with internal teams and external delivery partners to ensure projects stay on track, risks are managed early, and momentum is maintained from kick-off through to delivery.
You'll sit at the heart of our Engineering organisation, partnering with Product, Engineering, and senior business stakeholders to create visibility, drive accountability, and ensure decisions happen at the right time.
We're looking for someone who can confidently navigate ambiguity, build trusted relationships, challenge constructively when needed, and bring the right level of structure without slowing teams down.

What you'll be doing
- Leading the end-to-end delivery of two concurrent technical programmes.
- Building and maintaining clear delivery plans, milestones, and dependency maps.
- Managing relationships with external delivery partners, ensuring commitments, quality standards, and timelines are met.
- Tracking risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies, proactively resolving blockers before they impact delivery.
- Working closely with Engineering and Product teams to align priorities, scope, and sequencing.
- Creating transparency across programmes through effective governance, reporting, and communication.
- Providing clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders, translating technical detail into meaningful business outcomes.
- Helping teams maintain focus and momentum in a fast-moving environment where priorities can evolve.
What we're looking for
You'll likely bring:
- Proven experience delivering complex technical projects across multiple teams.
- Experience working with both internal engineering teams and external vendors or delivery partners.
- Strong project management fundamentals, including planning, risk management, stakeholder engagement, and dependency management.
- Experience maintaining RAID logs and driving ownership of actions and resolutions.
- A pragmatic approach to Agile delivery, understanding when to adapt rather than follow frameworks rigidly.
- The ability to operate confidently in environments where priorities shift and requirements evolve.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage technical specialists and senior business leaders alike.
- A proactive, ownership-led mindset and the confidence to work independently.
