Junior Digital Project Manager

Position Overview

As a Junior Digital Project Manager, you will support the delivery of digital projects from concept through to completion, helping to ensure everything runs smoothly, stays on track, and meets client expectations.

You’ll work closely with senior team members, developers, and stakeholders to coordinate tasks, track progress, and identify potential risks or blockers early. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll build your experience in managing projects while contributing to structured, efficient delivery.

You’ll play an important role in keeping projects organised, maintaining clear communication, and helping to bring clarity to fast‑paced and sometimes complex environments.

• Hands‑on Experience Across Real Projects – You’ll work on live client projects from day one, gaining exposure to the full lifecycle of digital delivery.
• Mentorship & Support – You’ll work closely with an experienced delivery team and Leadership, giving you direct access to guidance, feedback, and real‑world learning.

• Exposure to Modern Delivery Practices – You’ll gain experience in Agile delivery, structured governance, and working within a growing AI‑enabled Systems Integrator, not just a traditional agency model.
• Involvement in Strategic Work – You’ll get visibility into how projects connect to wider business outcomes, giving you a stronger commercial and strategic understanding early in your career.
• A Culture of Accountability & Growth – We value ownership, transparency, and continuous improvement; you’ll be encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge thinking, and help shape how we deliver.
