This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.
Digital Project Manager
As our Digital Project Manager, you will be accountable for projects from concept to final delivery, ensuring everything runs smoothly, there are no blockers, and mitigating risk along the way. It's your job to understand our clients' needs and ensure that you're delivering the project to meet the requirements.
You are the lynchpin which holds everything together, the go-to person, and able to change a sometimes chaotic and reactive work environment into a more structured and efficient one.
You can naturally find the right balance between building, growing, and enhancing internal and external relationships with colleagues and stakeholders, ensuring delivery of projects within time, budget, and scope.
About you:
You will be technically minded, have a genuine interest in the digital world both in and out of work, with the ability to work closely with the development team, understanding project limitations, capabilities, and potential blockers, and then communicating through to non-technical teams in a digestible form.
