Define, plan, and monitor project scope, schedules, budgets, and resources, balancing client expectations with business objectives
Identify risks and opportunities proactively, implementing strategies to mitigate issues and maximise value
Produce clear, actionable reporting for internal teams and clients, highlighting progress, challenges, and strategic decisions
Collaborate on commercial aspects of projects, including pricing, resource allocation, and performance tracking
Promote best practices, continuous improvement, and the adoption of digital tools and innovative solutions to enhance delivery efficiency
Candidate Requirements
Extensive experience managing complex, client-focused projects within professional services, insurance, financial services, healthcare or legal industries
Proven ability to influence and build credibility with senior stakeholders, including clients and leadership teams
Strong analytical, organisational, and commercial acumen, capable of juggling multiple priorities and deadlines
Excellent communication and presentation skills for both internal and client-facing interactions
Project management certifications (PRINCE2, PMP, Agile, MSP, or equivalent) are desirable
Proficiency with project management tools, reporting systems, and standard office software
Why This Role?
Work on a varied and stimulating portfolio of projects across sectors and business functions
Operate at a high level of influence, engaging with senior clients and internal leadership regularly
Competitive salary and bonus structure
Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
Opportunity for professional growth in a collaborative, inclusive, and forward-thinking environment
