Project Manager, Operations Manager, Program ​/ Project Manager

A high-growth consumer connectivity business in Manchester is looking for an experienced Contract Project Manager to take full ownership of delivery across a busy and expanding project portfolio.

The business is in a strong growth phase - adding new consumer products and running multiple concurrent internal projects.

This is not a coordination role. They need someone who owns their work streams, drives accountability across the business, and gets things done without needing managing.

• Take full ownership of a broad project portfolio spanning new product launches, internal change, and operational improvement
• Manage multiple concurrent work streams in a fast-moving, resource-light environment
• Drive accountability across senior stakeholders - chase actions, hold people to commitments, keep delivery moving
• Work closely with the CEO, CTO, and senior management team on a day-to-day basis

• Proven strong track record delivering complex projects in a telco, broadband, or connectivity environment – this is essential
• Experience managing large-scale customer or data migrations – over 100,000 of customers, multi-product, multi-system
• Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously and pivoting quickly as priorities shift
• Formal qualification - PRINCE2, APM or equivalent
• Not someone who tracks - someone who delivers

• Up to £500/day outside IR35
• Manchester-based - in office aligned to senior management team days, otherwise flexible
• ASAP start - the project portfolio is live and moving
• Rolling contract with a genuine route to perm for the right person if interested
