You'll have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, work alongside experienced professionals and continue developing your career with the support of Grayce's dedicated development programmes.

Grayce specialises in delivering transformation through high-performing talent. For over a decade, we've partnered with some of the world's most ambitious organisations, deploying exceptional people who make a real difference.

When you join Grayce, you become part of a purpose-driven organisation committed to your professional development and long-term career success.

About The Opportunity

We're recruiting Project Management professionals with approximately 1-6 years of experience to support change, business improvement and transformation projects with our clients.

We have opportunities available in either Manchester or London, depending on your location and the requirements of our clients. You won't be expected to work across both locations.

Responsibilities may include:

• Project Planning & Coordination: Help develop and maintain project plans, track milestones and coordinate activities to keep projects moving forward

• Risk & Issue Management: Identify, track and communicate project risks, issues and dependencies, helping teams address challenges before they affect delivery

• Change & Improvement: Support business and technology change initiatives, helping teams implement new processes, systems and ways of working

The scope of your responsibilities will depend on your experience and the client opportunity, with the chance to build your skills and take on greater responsibility as you progress.

Essential experience and skills:

• Demonstrable professional experience in Project Management, with practical involvement in coordinating, supporting or delivering projects
• Experience working with project plans, tracking progress, managing actions and supporting project delivery activities
• An understanding of project risks, issues, dependencies and reporting
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage priorities, meet deadlines and maintain attention to detail
• Good communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with confidence working across different teams
• A proactive, adaptable approach and a willingness to take ownership of responsibilities
• The ability to work collaboratively, solve problems and contribute positively to project outcomes
