Company Description: Accelerate Ventures-backed lifestyle sports network leading a national UK rollout.
Overview: As the first in-house Project Manager, you will transition the company from consultant-led delivery to a scalable internal function. You will own the end-to-end execution of a rapid national rollout, transforming complex sites into premium sports and social destinations featuring high-end courts, licensed clubhouses, and wellness-focused facilities across the UK.
Why this role is remarkable:
- Transition from corporate consultancies like AECOM or Mace to a high-growth startup where you own the entire delivery function and process from day one.
- Build the premier destination for the world's fastest-growing sport, backed by Accelerate Ventures and led by a high-pedigree founder and board.
- Real career trajectory with a national rollout already in motion; you aren't just managing one site, but a programme of dozens of upcoming venues.
What You Will Do:
- Lead the full project lifecycle for new club venues, managing everything from contractor procurement and groundworks to final clubhouse fit-out and F&B setup.
- Establish robust project governance, including risk management frameworks, financial forecasting, and change control procedures to ensure multi-million-pound budgets remain on track.
- Serve as the primary liaison for high-profile stakeholders, planning authorities, and landlords while ensuring strict adherence to CDM regulations and safety standards.
The Ideal Candidate:
- 5-10 years of construction project management experience, with a proven track record of delivering multi-site programmes in the leisure, sports, or retail sectors.
- Strong commercial acumen with experience managing multi-million-pound budgets and negotiating complex contracts with third-party suppliers and consultants.
- A proactive leader with RICS, APM, or PMP certification who thrives in a fast-paced environment without the rigid infrastructure of a large corporate firm.
