Launch Your Career (or Restart It!) in Project Management with Innovate Tax

Looking to kick-start or restart your career in project management? Innovate Tax is recruiting for one Project Management Office (PMO) opportunity with two development routes:
Apprenticeship or Traineeship.

Both routes give you hands-on experience across product development, operations and information technology projects. You do not need previous project management or IT experience. We are looking for curiosity, motivation, organisation and a willingness to learn.

Choose Your Development Route

• Apprenticeship Route: combine practical work with a recognised apprenticeship qualification, dedicated study time, mentoring and structured development.
• Traineeship Route: develop through structured on-the-job training, mentoring and coaching, without the apprenticeship study requirement.

When you apply, you will be asked which route you are applying for.
