Join a Fast-Growing UK Transport Business
Our client, a rapidly expanding and highly reputable UK transport operator, is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support the mobilisation of a brand-new business line. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in a high-visibility initiative within a dynamic, consumer-facing organisation.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy working with multiple stakeholders, and can bring structure to complex projects, this role offers the perfect platform.
What You'll Be Doing
Lead and coordinate the mobilisation of a new business line for a major UK transport provider.
Work closely with cross-functional teams including Finance, IT, HR, Sales and Operations, ensuring seamless alignment across parallel workstreams.
Liaise with external partners and stakeholders to support project delivery.
Own the master mobilisation plan-tracking timelines, risks, dependencies, and escalation routes.
Set agendas, drive progress, and roll up your sleeves to support content creation where needed.
Collaborate with subject matter experts to move actions forward effectively and efficiently.
Establish governance frameworks and coordinate key governance meetings alongside senior leadership.
Deliver clear, concise weekly progress updates, risk registers, and requests for decisions/approvals.
What We're Looking For
10+ years' experience in project management or operations.
Experience in transport is ideal, but strong B2C backgrounds such as retail, FMCG, hospitality, or similar sectors are equally valuable.
A blend of operational and/or consultancy experience (consultancy-only backgrounds are not sufficient).
Commercial awareness and familiarity with sales-driven environments.
Exposure to IT projects or technology-led initiatives is a plus.
A natural organiser with exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.
Why Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to join a growing transport business at a pivotal moment of expansion. You'll be at the heart of a major mobilisation project, working with senior leaders and influencing outcomes that will shape the future of the organisation.
