Our mission is to make meaningful learning a part of your everyday life. The shelf life of our skills is now less than 5 years. So, if you stopped learning today, your skills would soon become irrelevant. Think that’s a big problem? You’d be right.

Enter HowNow. Founded in 2019, our Learning and Skills Platform is disrupting the way people learn and upskill through technology. Whether it's finding a quick answer, learning new skills, or tapping into shared knowledge, we make it easy for people to learn what they need, when they need it.

Already used by fast-growing scale-ups and global enterprises such as Trainline, Depop, and Sanofi, we’re pushing the boundaries of how people learn.

Hi, I'm Anil, a Senior Project Manager at HowNow. I’m looking for a Project Manager to join us.

You’ll be at the heart of our growth, building great partnerships, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. If you're excited about technology, managing projects, and making a real difference, this job is perfect for you. You’ll work on both internal and customer projects — one day overseeing the implementation of the HowNow platform for a client, and the next helping plan and execute our internal projects to accelerate strategic growth.

You’ll find energy in taking an abstract brief or desired end state, working cross-functionally to identify how to achieve it, who needs to be involved, and driving it to completion while measuring impact. The pace can be fast and demanding, as we grow a market-leading learning company, so working under pressure should be familiar to you.

Longer term, as someone overseeing delivery projects, you’ll have the opportunity to influence our project delivery processes, finding efficiencies and streamlining workflows.

Alongside career development opportunities, we’re a fun and friendly team. Check out the video below to see what it’s like to work here.

Day-to-day tasks include:

• Project Planning and Scheduling:
  Develop and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, and milestones. Allocate resources effectively and adjust plans as needed. Lead meetings to track progress and address roadblocks. Maintain comprehensive project documentation including requirements, design specs, and user manuals.
• Status Reporting:
  Prepare and deliver regular status reports to stakeholders. Monitor project metrics and KPIs to ensure alignment with business goals.
• Risk Management:
  Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies. Address issues promptly to keep projects on track.
• Client Onboarding and Communication:
  Guide new clients through onboarding. Serve as the main technical contact, addressing inquiries and providing updates.
• Requirement Gathering and Feedback:
  Work with clients to understand needs and translate them into project requirements. Collect and analyze customer feedback to inform product improvements.

Key qualities we look for in applicants:

• Leadership and Team Coordination: Lead and motivate cross-functional teams. Inspire and guide team members to achieve goals.
• Communication and Stakeholder Management: Convey complex information clearly. Manage stakeholder expectations.
• Organization and Time Management: Manage multiple tasks and projects. Prioritize effectively.
• Problem-Solving and Risk Management: Identify issues and develop solutions. Address risks proactively.
• Customer Focus and Adaptability: Understand customer needs. Adapt to changing requirements.
• Technical Expertise: Understand and unblock technical challenges. Make technical decisions. Experience in delivering IT/software projects.

What you’ll get:

• Salaries based on a SaaS benchmarking tool (Figures ) with a 10% performance bonus.
• Hybrid working (2 days/week in London office, Tuesdays and Thursdays) and flexible hours.
• Work From Anywhere for up to two weeks per quarter (details here ).
• Wind-down Fridays — no meetings after 2pm to relax and recharge.
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off.
• Enhanced pension scheme, private health insurance, learning budget, pet-friendly offices, monthly socials, access to HowNow+ platform, Cycle to Work, and financial wellbeing support.

Next steps:

After applying, we typically respond within 3 working days. The process involves:

• A 45-minute video call with Lizzie, our Senior People Partner.
• A 60-minute call with me to discuss the role and get to know each other.
• A 60-minute task-based interview with me, Sam, and Kuvera to assess your skills.
