This is far more than a traditional PM role.

✅ Managing project scope, governance, RAID logs, budgets, forecasting, reporting, change control and commercial performance

✅ Building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across Universities, Colleges and Higher Education institutions

✅ Leading multi-disciplinary delivery teams across consultants, technical specialists and client stakeholders

✅ Supporting pre-sales, project mobilisation and client engagement activities

✅ Mentoring and coaching Project Managers, sharing best practice and helping develop future talent

What we're looking for:

✔ Proven experience delivering end-to-end IT or Digital Transformation projects within Higher Education

✔ Experience working within a Microsoft technology environment, including:

• Microsoft 365
• Azure
• Dynamics 365
• Power Platform
• Copilot

✔ Strong understanding of project governance, financial management, risk management, RAID, change control and stakeholder engagement

✔ Experience managing multiple client projects within a consultancy or professional services environment

✔ Knowledge of both Agile and Waterfall delivery methodologies

✔ Excellent commercial awareness with experience managing project budgets, forecasting and profitability

✔ Ability to build long-term client relationships and confidently engage with senior stakeholders

✔ PRINCE2, APM or Agile certifications are highly desirable

Why join?

⭐ Genuine Progression into Delivery Leadership

⭐ Opportunity to Mentor & Develop the PM Team

⭐ Work on Enterprise Microsoft Transformation Programmes

⭐ 9-Day Fortnight (Every Other Friday Off!)

⭐ £5k Car Allowance

⭐ Private Healthcare, Life Assurance & Healthcare Cash Plan

⭐ Award-Winning Microsoft Consultancy with an Exceptional Culture
