Senior Project Manager in London

This is a hybrid role, with 3 days per week required in our London office.

About the role

The Senior Project Manager strengthens the core of Greenpark’s EMEA Delivery team.

You will run client projects end to end, but the role is equally about the operational backbone of

Delivery: accurate resourcing, reliable revenue forecasting, and trusted project data.

You will be a safe pair of hands on major accounts, a source of resilience and coverage across the Delivery team, and a visible adopter of AI‑enabled ways of working as we embed AI across the agency.

This role is UK‑based.

• Works with AI tools daily as part of how you deliver – status reporting, documentation, resourcing analysis, and QA – in line with Greenpark’s AI Policy and approved tools.
• Helps embed AI‑enabled ways of working across the Delivery team, sharing what works and building confidence in others.
• Comfortable managing projects where AI‑assisted content production forms part of the delivery workflow, ensuring appropriate QA and human review steps.
• Reporting and communication structure
• The Senior Project Manager reports to a Project Director, dependent on project accounts.
• Performance and progression are reviewed together with the Project Director and Operations Director.
• The Senior Project Manager should be in close communication with the Project Director, Operations Director, (Senior) Account Directors, and Client Group Partners, where applicable.
