We’re partnering with an established digital product and consultancy business looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead complex, high-value digital projects for major clients.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead £1m+ digital projects from discovery, scoping and estimation through to delivery and launch.
  • Manage multidisciplinary teams across Product, Engineering, Design, Architecture and Strategy.
  • Work directly with senior client stakeholders, managing expectations, delivery priorities and project outcomes.
  • Shape project scope, estimates, delivery plans and approaches alongside technical and commercial teams.
  • Take ownership of project financials, including budgets, forecasting, burn rates, invoicing and Statements of Work (SOWs).
  • Coordinate resources, multiple workstreams and delivery squads, ensuring projects remain on track across scope, timelines, quality and budget.
  • Identify and manage delivery risks, dependencies and changing client requirements.
  • Oversee major product releases, new functionality and ongoing digital product improvements.

The projects

You’ll be delivering customer-facing digital products and experiences, including:

  • iOS and Android applications and customer-facing web platforms.
  • Digital customer journeys, self-service portals and account management solutions.
  • Customer onboarding, activation and offboarding experiences.
  • SIM/eSIM activation journeys and complex digital integrations.
  • Major product releases, feature development and roadmap delivery.
  • Large-scale digital programmes involving multiple multidisciplinary squads.

Previous projects have included mobile product launches, customer self-service features and end-to-end digital customer journeys.

The emphasis is on delivering digital products that customers actually use, rather than infrastructure projects, internal systems or business-as-usual IT.

  • Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager, Project Manager or equivalent within a digital agency, consultancy, software or product business.
  • Experience delivering complex, customer-facing digital products across web, mobile or software.
  • Strong end-to-end delivery experience, from discovery and estimation through development, testing and launch.

  • Confidence managing senior client stakeholders and building strong client relationships.
  • Commercial accountability, including project budgets, forecasting, scope management and financial performance.
  • The ability to manage multiple workstreams, delivery risks and competing priorities.

Experience owning £1m+ project budgets is particularly important.

We’re looking for someone who understands both the delivery and commercial sides of client projects.

Why consider this opportunity?

  • Lead high-value digital projects for major clients.
  • Take ownership of delivery strategy, client relationships and commercial outcomes.
  • Work across web, mobile and software products with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Join an established digital product and consultancy business with a varied client portfolio.
