  • Experience running workshops, stakeholder meetings, and project planning sessions
  • Strong understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
  • Ability to translate business requirements into structured project plans and deliverables
  • Experience managing project timelines, risks, dependencies, and budgets
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

Desirables

  • Experience delivering projects using Agile, Scrum, or other project delivery methodologies
  • Familiarity with cloud-based technologies and modern software environments
  • Experience using project management tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or Trello
  • Exposure to business analysis, process improvement, or digital transformation initiatives
  • Experience working within regulated industries such as financial services, professional services, or environmental sectors
  • Relevant project management certifications (PRINCE2, AgilePM, Scrum Master, PMP, etc.)

The Company

This company specialises in delivering innovative technology solutions to businesses operating in complex and regulated industries. Combining strong technical expertise with a customer-focused approach, they help organisations improve processes, modernise systems, and deliver successful digital transformation programmes. Despite their rapid growth, they have maintained a collaborative and entrepreneurial culture where individuals are trusted with ownership and encouraged to contribute ideas and influence project outcomes.

The business offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced software engineers, consultants, and technical leaders on a wide range of client projects, with clear opportunities for progression as the company continues to expand. The role offers a competitive salary alongside hybrid working flexibility (3 days per week in their Manchester office), ongoing professional development opportunities, exposure to diverse client projects, and the chance to make a real impact within a growing organisation. Additional benefits include an enhanced pension scheme, free gym membership, and more.
