The Role
The V&A is committed to be Net Zero by 2035 and we are finalising our new strategic Climate Action Plan. To help deliver our ambitious target, we are looking for a highly adaptable Project Manager to oversee the implementation of our Climate Action Plan and help drive organisational change.
The Project Manager will be a change maker, responsible for coordinating the effective governance and managing the delivery of multiple interrelated workstreams.
