Project Manager (Senior)
We’re working with a Derby-based technology business to help them recruit an experienced Project Manager. This is a fantastic role for someone with 4+ years’ project management experience who thrives on structure, documentation, and driving projects forward in a customer-facing environment. The company delivers complex IT solutions across enterprise-scale and secure environments, so they’re looking for someone who can not only plan and document effectively, but also represent them confidently to clients. You’ll also oversee and support technical colleagues within the business, so an ability to work closely with delivery teams is key. What’s really exciting is that they are in a significant period of growth, particularly with their new long‑term contract which you will be a huge part of. Joining now means you’ll be part of that journey from the outset, gaining exposure to large-scale, high‑profile projects and playing a key role as they expand their delivery capability.
Why this role?
* A chance to work on high-impact IT projects with real client exposure
* Strong focus on project planning, governance, and documentation – perfect if that’s your strength
* Hybrid working (3 days on site in Derby after induction)
* Clear career path: this role can naturally progress into a Programme Manager position
* A fast-paced environment where you’ll need to adapt quickly to changing priorities and work independently
What we’re looking for:
* 4+ years’ experience managing IT projects end-to-end
* Prince2 qualified (or equivalent recognised PM qualification)
* Strong background in project planning, governance, and documentation
* Comfortable being client-facing and managing customer expectations
* Experience working with or overseeing technical teams (developers, engineers, etc.)
* A self-sufficient individual who can take ownership, adapt to shifting priorities, and deliver results
* Eligible for SC clearance (British or Dual Citizenship)
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Project Manager who’s ready to step into a role with more client ownership, more autonomy, and a clear development pathway into Programme Management.
