Job description

Are you ready to take the next step in your project management career and gain exposure to meaningful, business-wide change? At Convergence Group, we’re on a mission to make business connectivity as simple and reliable as the fourth utility. For over 20 years, our success has been built on resilience, continuous improvement, and a genuine commitment to an exceptional customer experience.

We’re entering an exciting phase of growth and are looking for a Junior Project Manager to join our team. You'll play a key part in coordinating activities for initiatives such as integrating acquired businesses, consolidating systems, and harmonising processes - helping us deliver seamless change and real impact across the business.

What you’ll be doing as our Junior Project Manager

• Keep projects moving: Keep project plans up to date, make sure timelines and milestones stay on track, manage resources, and flag any risks before they turn into problems.
• Document like a pro: Own the essentials - PID, SoW, RAID logs, status and Steerco reports - collect updates from teams, and pull together clear packs, minutes, and actions.
• Governance & compliance: Support key meetings, keep documentation tidy and audit-ready, and help track budgets without breaking a sweat.
• Stakeholder engagement & change: Share updates that people actually understand, help teams adopt new processes and systems, and build strong working relationships along the way.
• Drive Continuous improvement: Spot what could work better, capture lessons learned, and suggest ideas to improve how we deliver projects.
• Tools you will use: Monday.com for plans and reporting, plus Excel for data and budgeting. Project management methodologies include Prince2, Waterfall and Agile.

Your Experience And Background

• 3+ years’ experience in project support or project coordination, ideally within IT, Telecoms or a related environment.
• Exposure to projects involving people, systems, data, or processes, and a willingness to learn integration best practices.
• Ability to maintain governance documentation, RAID logs and action trackers accurately.
• Awareness of risk management, compliance requirements (including GDPR) and contractual obligations.
• Familiarity with systems and data activities such as CRM, ERP/Finance, billing or HR platforms is beneficial.
• Proficiency in MS Office and experience (or willingness to learn) project management tools like Monday.com, Asana, or similar platforms.
• An interest in developing formal project management skills - certifications such as Prince2 Foundation or Agile Awareness are advantageous.

What you’ll get - real rewards for real impact:

• Salary: £35-45,000
• Time off: 33 days holiday, including bank holidays (and yes, it only gets better).
• Benefits: Private Medical, enhanced Pension, Income Protection & Life Assurance.
• Work-life balance: flexible core hours + hybrid working with 3 days a week in the Manchester or Solihull office.
• Dog friendly office - yes really!
