Lead Project Manager (m/f/d)
We are seeking an experienced Lead Project Manager to oversee complex, high-impact projects from initial concept through to successful delivery. This role will suit a structured and collaborative professional who can combine strategic thinking with hands-on project leadership, ensuring that objectives are achieved on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.
You will work closely with internal teams, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to establish clear priorities, manage expectations and maintain effective communication throughout the project lifecycle. The role requires confidence in leading multidisciplinary teams, managing competing demands and making informed decisions in a changing environment.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the planning, execution and completion of major projects, ensuring alignment with agreed objectives and business requirements.
- Define project scope, milestones, deliverables, resources, budgets and governance arrangements.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams and provide clear direction, motivation and support.
- Monitor progress, financial performance, risks, issues and dependencies, implementing corrective actions where necessary.
- Prepare regular project reports, status updates and recommendations for senior stakeholders.
- Manage change control processes and ensure that project documentation remains accurate and up to date.
- Build strong working relationships with customers, partners and suppliers throughout delivery.
- Capture lessons learned and promote continuous improvement across project management practices.
About you
You will have substantial experience managing complex projects, ideally within a technical, engineering, manufacturing, digital or similarly structured environment. A recognised project management qualification, such as PRINCE2, PMP or equivalent, would be advantageous. You should be comfortable working with budgets, schedules, risk registers and performance metrics, while remaining focused on practical outcomes.
Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to influence at all levels. You will be organised, commercially aware and capable of balancing strategic priorities with detailed execution. Experience using project management software and reporting tools is expected, as is a proactive approach to problem-solving.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of significant projects, contribute to lasting improvements and play a key role in achieving ambitious delivery goals.
