Salary: £80 – £110k+ Bonus + Outstanding Benefits

Lead Projects. Build Relationships. Grow a Business.

This is more than an Associate Director position.

It's an opportunity to become a key part of one of the UK's leading healthcare consultancies, helping shape the future of Programme and Project Management while delivering projects that have a lasting impact on healthcare environments and patient outcomes.

We're looking for an experienced Project Management leader who combines outstanding technical delivery with the commercial mindset to grow client relationships, win new business and develop a high-performing team.

You'll already have an excellent reputation for delivering complex capital projects, but equally importantly, you'll enjoy building trusted relationships, developing people and identifying opportunities to expand existing client accounts.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence the growth of a business not simply deliver projects this is an exceptional opportunity.

The Opportunity

As an Associate Director, you'll play a pivotal role in the continued growth of our Programme and Project Management team across the Midlands.

You'll lead the successful delivery of major healthcare programmes while helping shape the future direction of the business through client development, work winning, strategic account management and mentoring the next generation of Project Managers.

This is a leadership position where you'll have genuine autonomy, significant client exposure and the opportunity to influence both operational performance and business growth.

Key Responsibilities

Project & Programme Leadership

• Lead complex healthcare capital projects and programmes from inception through to completion.
• Provide strategic Programme and Project Management advice to public and private sector clients.
• Lead multidisciplinary consultant teams across major healthcare developments.
• Ensure projects are delivered safely, commercially and to the highest technical standards.
• Provide governance, programme reporting and senior stakeholder management.
• Act as a trusted advisor to executive-level client teams.

Client Management

• Develop long-term relationships with NHS organisations, private healthcare providers and key stakeholders.
• Become the trusted partner for existing clients by delivering exceptional service.
• Identify opportunities to expand client relationships and secure repeat business.
• Provide strategic advice beyond project delivery, supporting wider capital investment programmes.
• Represent the business at senior client meetings and industry events.

Business Development & Work Winning

Business development is a key part of this role.

You'll be expected to play an active role in growing the Programme and Project Management business by:

• Developing existing client accounts.
• Identifying new opportunities across healthcare programmes.
• Supporting bids, tenders and framework submissions.
• Building a strong pipeline of future work.
• Developing strategic relationships across the healthcare sector.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to win new commissions.
• Supporting the continued growth of the Midlands business.

Leadership & Team Development

We're looking for someone who enjoys building teams as much as delivering projects.

You'll be responsible for:

• Mentoring and developing Project Managers.
• Leading and inspiring multidisciplinary teams.
• Supporting recruitment and succession planning.
• Helping shape the future capability of the Project Management team.
• Sharing knowledge and developing technical excellence.
• Creating a collaborative, high-performing culture.
• Supporting the continued growth of the Programme and Project Management profession across the business.
