With a strong secured pipeline but limited senior capacity, the consultancy is now seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to play a pivotal role in both project delivery and business growth.This is an opportunity for a driven, commercially minded SPM who thrives in a small, entrepreneurial environment and wants genuine influence over projects, clients, and outcomes.
