Work closely with the business and the Product Team!
We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our Product team and help to lead the successful delivery of some of our largest and most strategically important digital products. You’ll own projects from discovery through launch and ongoing delivery, ensuring they are delivered commercially, technically and operationally.
No two projects are the same. One week you could be leading the delivery of a new mobile platform for a leading retailer, the next helping an international client launch a complex digital service used by millions of customers.
