Job Description

Role: Junior Project Manager

Location: Nottingham

Working Arrangement: 2/3 days a week in the office

Salary: Up to £50k depending on experience

As a Project Coordinator, you will play a key role in helping projects run smoothly from start to finish. You’ll work closely with Project Managers and delivery teams to keep activities organised, timelines on track, and stakeholders informed. This role places you at the centre of project delivery, allowing you to contribute to planning, coordination, reporting, and continuous improvement across multiple initiatives.

A strong knowledge of Jira will be essential, as you will use it to manage workflows, track progress, and provide meaningful insights into project performance.

What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you’ll support Project Managers by helping organise project activities, timelines, and deliverables. You’ll keep project documentation up to date, maintain RAID logs, and ensure key information is clearly recorded and accessible.

You’ll also play an important part in coordinating team activity by arranging meetings, workshops, and delivery ceremonies such as stand-ups and sprint planning sessions. Your organisational skills will help ensure teams stay aligned and projects maintain momentum.

A significant part of your role will involve working with Jira. You’ll create and maintain boards, workflows, dashboards, and filters so that project teams can effectively track tasks and progress. You’ll help ensure Jira is used consistently across the team and will produce regular reports that highlight delivery progress, blockers, throughput, and resource usage.

You will also act as a communication link between delivery teams, leadership, and wider business stakeholders. This means providing clear updates on project status, risks, and any changes that may impact delivery.

Alongside coordination and reporting, you’ll support governance and delivery standards by helping teams follow established frameworks and PMO practices. You’ll also be encouraged to identify opportunities to improve processes and make team workflows more efficient.

Where required, you may also assist with tracking project budgets, forecasts, and resource utilisation to help ensure projects remain aligned with delivery plans.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with experience working as a Project Coordinator or Junior Project Manager who is comfortable managing multiple workstreams and staying organised in a fast-moving environment.

Strong, hands-on experience with Jira is essential, particularly in managing boards, workflows, dashboards, and reporting. You should also have solid Excel skills and feel confident analysing or presenting project data.

Strong communication, attention to detail, and organisational skills will be key to success in this role, along with experience working in Agile or hybrid delivery environments.

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background
