Project Manager (Defence Digital) – Contract
Bristol | 3 days onsite | £500–£600/day | Outside IR35 | 12 months
This isn’t a standard PM role.
You’ll be delivering into a next-generation MOD tactical communications programme - where the challenge isn’t building the tech… it’s making it all work together.
You’ll sit inside a Defence Digital environment, bringing structure, governance and control across a complex, multi-stakeholder programme.
You’ll be:
* Driving delivery across scope, cost, risk and schedule
* Managing RAID, reporting and governance in line with MOD frameworks
* Coordinating across MOD, suppliers and technical teams
* Supporting senior decision-making in a high-assurance environment
This is less about deep technical knowledge… and more about knowing how to navigate MOD and make delivery happen.
You’ll need:
* Strong experience in MOD / Defence Digital environments
* Solid understanding of governance, JSPs and project controls
* Confidence managing stakeholders across military and supplier teams
* Ability to operate in uncertain, evolving programmes
* Huge bonus if you have all the above and worked with military communication systems.
🔐 Must hold active SC clearance (Higher level clearance a bonus)
If you’re a defence PM who can bring control to complexity - this is a strong one.
