At Data & AI Literacy Academy, we transform how people connect with data, making it accessible, relevant and empowering for every enterprise employee. Joining Data & AI Literacy Academy means being part of a mission-led team helping individuals and organisations unlock their potential through confidence, culture and clarity.
As a Senior Project Manager, you will play a key role in the successful delivery of our data & AI literacy programmes for complex organisations and programmes. You’ll own the end-to-end delivery plan for your portfolio of accounts, coordinating timelines, stakeholders, and resources to make sure every programme lands on time, on budget, and to the standard our clients expect.
Working closely with our Customer Account Executives, Learner Success team, and Communications team, you’ll be the operational backbone that turns a signed contract into a smoothly run, high-impact learning experience. You’ll manage risk proactively, keep clients informed at every stage, and continuously look for ways to improve how we deliver. You’ll also support and coach other Project Managers on delivery processes, given the complexity of the organisations and programmes you manage.
What You’ll Do
- Own and manage delivery plans for a portfolio of complex client programmes, from kick-off through to completion
- Build and maintain project schedules, tracking milestones, dependencies, and risks
- Act as the primary delivery point of contact for clients, providing regular updates and managing expectations
- Coordinate internal resources; Communications team, Learner Success, to ensure timely delivery
- Identify and manage project risks, escalating and resolving issues before they impact outcomes
- Maintain accurate programme documentation, trackers, and reporting
- Support continuous improvement of delivery processes and playbooks
- Coach and support other Project Managers on delivery processes and best practice
- Contribute to a positive client experience that supports renewal and expansion opportunities
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in project or programme management, ideally in a client-facing or professional services environment, managing complex organisations and programmes
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects
- Excellent communication skills, comfortable working with senior stakeholders
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach to problem-solving
- Experience with project management tools and structured delivery frameworks
- Experience coaching or mentoring other Project Managers
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where you can take ownership and grow quickly
Why Join Us?
- Join a collaborative team that values rigour, clear communication and continuous improvement
- Own real client portfolios from day one, with the autonomy to shape how delivery runs, not just execute someone else's plan
- Fully hybrid working model, with one two-day onsite session per month in Birmingham
- Work in a fast-paced, evolving environment where you can grow quickly and take on more scope as you prove yourself
