Associate Director
Salary: £70,000 to low £80s DOE + car allowance + bonus
Location: Glasgow - HYBRID
Peace Recruitment is working with a well-established consultancy that is looking to appoint a Major Projects Delivery Lead at Associate Director level in Glasgow. They need someone to take ownership of complex, high-value delivery and are keen to move quickly for the right person.
This is a role where you’ll be trusted to run major projects, manage your client at a senior level and shape a growing team.
If you’re an experienced Associate Director, or a senior project professional ready to step into the grade, we’d like to hear from you.
The Opportunity
You’ll be the delivery lead on significant projects, acting as the main point of contact for your client and responsible for programme, cost, quality and risk.
This is a role for someone who is as good at managing up as they are at managing down. You’ll work with senior client stakeholders, leading a team of around four now, with room to grow it. Part of the job is spotting opportunities with the client and building the team to deliver them.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading delivery of major projects from inception through to completion.
- Building trusted relationships with senior clients and becoming their go-to advisor.
- Managing stakeholders at every level, including the client’s leadership.
- Leading, developing and mentoring your team.
- Identifying new opportunities with your client and growing the team to deliver them.
- Managing project risks, budgets, programmes and reporting.
- Preparing and presenting reports to senior stakeholders.
- Supporting bids, proposals and business development.
About You
You’ll already have experience delivering large, complex projects, with a track record on schemes of around £250m or more. You’ll be comfortable owning the relationship with a demanding client and making calls when it counts.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- A strong track record delivering major projects, typically £250m+.
- Experience at Associate Director level, or a clear route into it.
- Excellent client and stakeholder management skills, including at senior level.
- Experience leading and growing a delivery team.
- Commercial awareness and the ability to manage project finances.
- The confidence to make decisions and stand behind them.
Experience in a specific sector isn’t essential. What matters is that you’ve delivered major projects. Professional membership such as MRICS, MAPM or MICE would be advantageous.
What’s On Offer
- Salary £80,000 DOE.
- Car allowance.
- Performance-related bonus.
- Employer matched pension.
- A senior role with real influence over how the team grows.
- Hybrid working
- Ongoing professional development and support towards your career goals.
