Job Description
Junior Project Manager
Permanent · Hybrid · Competitive Salary
DigX is supporting a major Business Readiness programme within the Life & Pensions sector. We're looking for a Junior Project Manager to join the Business Readiness team and provide hands-on delivery support.
This is a structured, supported role — you'll be embedded in an active programme, working closely with experienced delivery leads who will guide what's needed and help you grow.
What You'll Do
* Run Business Readiness working groups: scheduling, agendas, facilitation, and capturing outputs
* Create and maintain steering pack content alongside the team: RAID updates, progress summaries, decisions, and risks
* Organise and coordinate cross-team meetings, ensuring clear outcomes and follow-through
* Track actions and maintain RAID, assumptions, and dependencies across readiness activities
* Support senior stakeholders with meeting preparation, information collation, and follow-up
* Work alongside senior stakeholders who engage directly with third-party partners, helping maintain alignment and chase updates
* Produce clear, concise reporting for the Business Readiness PM and programme leadership
* Support consistency in governance, templates, and tracking under the direction of the Business Readiness PM
What You'll Bring
* 1–2+ years' experience in a Junior Project Manager role
* Strong organisational skills — confident running meetings and managing multiple moving parts
* Experience creating decks, steering packs, or structured reporting (PowerPoint essential)
* Clear communicator, comfortable working with senior stakeholders and external partners
* Able to work at pace with shifting priorities, without losing attention to detail
* A proactive mindset — you spot gaps, chase answers, and keep things moving
* Basic understanding of project governance: RAID, meeting cycles, RAG reporting, and dependencies
Life & Pensions or Financial Services experience is beneficial but not essential.
Why DigX
You'll be working inside a real programme from day one — contributing directly to Business Readiness activity that supports a large-scale transformation. You'll be guided by an experienced Business Readiness PM and BA who will set direction, share context, and support your development.
DigX is remote-first and outcome-focused. We give our people exposure to complex programmes and FTSE-level clients, with the support structure to help them develop into confident, capable PMs.
Occasional client travel where it adds genuine value.
