• Identifying and managing risks, issues, and dependencies.
• Building relationships with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring effective and transparent communication.

• Experience in project discovery or strategy work.
• A recognised delivery certification like Scrum or PMP.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or Create Future offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.

We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process.

We look forward to your application!
