Project Manager
to support the delivery of critical digital and AI-enabled initiatives as part of a wider transformation programme.
This role suits a delivery-focused Project Manager who is comfortable operating in structured environments, managing risk, budgets, and stakeholders, while leveraging agile practices where they add value.
The Role
You will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of complex technology initiatives, working across business and IT teams to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to agreed quality standards.

* Chair delivery forums and provide clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders.
* Ensure adherence to organisational governance, quality standards, and compliance requirements.
* Support Product Owners and delivery teams by providing structure, prioritisation, and delivery discipline.
* Leverage agile practices (e.g. sprints, backlogs, ceremonies) to support efficient execution where appropriate.
* Contribute to broader transformation initiatives and evolving ways of working.
About You
* 5+ years' experience delivering complex projects in technology-led or regulated environments.
* Strong background in project planning, financial management, and delivery governance.
* Practical experience working with agile teams, without requiring a pure Scrum Master profile.
* Proven ability to manage senior stakeholders and communicate progress clearly.
* Highly organised, delivery-oriented, and comfortable operating in change environments.
* Experience in healthcare, insurance, or regulated industries is an advantage.
