About The Team

About the role

We trust our people to work flexibly in the way that works best for them, their teams and our clients. Our firm is set up to ensure everyone’s voice is heard, and mutual respect is shown by all.

The role will involve the management of the complete project lifecycle with a particularly emphasis on delivering the objective and extracting the intended benefits.

All aspects of project management will be required including planning, scoping, communication, budgetary control, stakeholder management and driving projects to a conclusion.

Projects being run within the team can be relatively small, having only minimal impact of the business. However, many are of a transformational nature and/or have high impact/high visibility across the organisation. Our goal will be to develop you to be able to confidently and professionally manage these larger projects.

Key Responsibilities

Understand the chain of command within the business and navigate this with diligence to ensure all obstacles overcome, thus ensuring successful project outcomes

Be a diplomat in managing stakeholder expectations throughout the project life cycle

Be an expert communicator within steering groups, with peer groups and the wider audience impacted by your projects

Can manage a team when the situation arises, e.g. via secondments, third-party involvements and/or other contractors

Manage the financial and commercial components of all projects

Manage projects using the most appropriate methodologies, instilling confidence in project sponsors and stakeholders by demonstrating clear control of the project, its risks and issues, its budget, etc (via comprehensive but pragmatic documentation)

Be focused on working with the business to realise project benefits

Report to line management at regular intervals to provide updates on the status of projects

Broker good quality relationships with our internal supporting departments
