• Strong organisational and planning skills
• Clear and confident communication
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Commercial awareness (time, scope, budgets)
• Attention to detail and high standards of delivery
• Comfortable working with different teams and stakeholders

Experience with project management tools is preferred.

What You’ll Get

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Extra holiday per year of service (up to 5 extra days)
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic work
• Involvement in a wide range of projects across sectors
• A well‑established, supportive and experienced team
