Inclusive Growth Project Manager in London

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and deliver inclusive growth initiatives that create real change for east London communities. Working across a collaborative directorate, you will play an important role in supporting delivery of key projects within our new Framework for Inclusive Growth, ensuring they deliver measurable benefits for local people and contribute to the long-term success of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

You will coordinate delivery across a range of priority workstreams, including employment and skills initiatives, inclusive growth assets such as Build East and the Good Growth Hub, impact measurement activity, and partnership development with our key partners. The role will involve developing and maintaining project plans, contract management, managing budget information, coordinating stakeholders, monitoring progress, and producing clear, high-quality reporting that helps demonstrate impact and support evidence-based decision-making.

Is it for you? You are an experienced, organised project manager who thrives in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and is genuinely motivated by the mission to deliver inclusive growth and meaningful change for east London communities. You have proven experience managing projects from conception through to delivery and evaluation — ideally in regeneration, employment and skills, inclusive economy, or a related field. You are evidence-driven, deeply committed to equity and co-production, and can quickly build trust with partners at all levels, translating complex information into clear, compelling narratives.

Why join us? At Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, we’re proud to be a values-led, inclusive employer with a mission to create opportunity and transformation in East London. We offer flexible working, excellent benefits, and the chance to make a tangible impact on one of the UK’s most high-profile regeneration programmes.
