Lead Project Manager
We are seeking an experienced Lead Project Manager to oversee the successful delivery of complex, high-value projects from initial concept through to completion. This is an opportunity to provide clear direction, build strong working relationships and deliver outcomes that support strategic priorities.
You will lead multidisciplinary project teams, ensuring programmes are delivered on time, within budget and to agreed quality standards. Working closely with senior stakeholders, suppliers and delivery partners, you will establish robust governance, manage dependencies and provide accurate progress updates throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the planning, mobilisation and delivery of multiple projects or major workstreams.
- Define scope, objectives, milestones, budgets and resource requirements.
- Develop and maintain project plans, risk registers, issue logs and governance documentation.
- Identify and manage project risks, dependencies and changes, escalating matters where appropriate.
- Coordinate internal teams, external suppliers and key stakeholders to maintain delivery momentum.
- Monitor performance against agreed measures and provide clear, concise reporting to senior leadership.
- Promote effective project management standards, continuous improvement and lessons learned.
- Support the development of colleagues through coaching, guidance and knowledge sharing.
About you
You will have substantial experience managing complex projects in a fast-paced environment, with a proven record of delivering measurable results. A formal project management qualification, such as PRINCE2, APM or equivalent, would be advantageous, alongside strong knowledge of project governance, risk management and financial control.
We are looking for an organised and confident communicator who can influence at all levels, make sound decisions and remain focused when priorities change. You will be comfortable challenging constructively, solving problems collaboratively and translating strategic objectives into practical delivery plans.
In return, you will have the opportunity to lead meaningful projects, work with talented colleagues and contribute to an environment that values accountability, innovation and professional development.
