About Us:

Nexian is at the forefront of digital transformation, delivering innovative solutions that modernise operations across the professional services sector.

Formerly known as Ilicomm, a UK-based managed service provider, Nexian has grown to include digital consultancy, AI strategy, business analysis, data governance, and Microsoft technology services.

We are also proud partners of Actionstep, a global leading SaaS practice management platform that is transforming the legal software space. Actionstep allows law firms to replace outdated, hosted systems with a modern, cloud‑based experience - making Nexian a central partner in their digital journey.

We are a small, friendly team that is passionate about delivering excellent service. Our culture is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in the belief that when we take care of each other, we deliver better outcomes for our clients. No matter your seniority, you will be hands‑on and involved in ensuring every client experience exceeds expectations.

What You’ll Be Doing:

As Senior Project Manager at Nexian, you will lead our digital transformation agenda, owning a portfolio of high‑impact projects while mentoring a talented team to deliver excellence across IT managed services, legal SaaS, development, and business analysis. You will not only drive successful project outcomes but also shape our entire delivery strategy — optimising tools, processes, and methodologies to raise the bar across the business.

Working closely with client services, technical experts, and senior leadership, you will ensure projects exceed expectations, align with strategic goals, and deliver flawless technical go‑lives. This role offers the opportunity to combine hands‑on delivery with strategic influence, while inspiring the next generation of project managers and positioning Nexian’s project management function as a true competitive advantage.

Key Responsibilities:

• Inspire, mentor, and elevate a high‑performing project management team to consistently deliver excellence.
• Own a diverse project portfolio while coaching and guiding junior staff to success.
• Design and embed best‑in‑class frameworks, processes, and practices that raise the bar for delivery.
• Lead end‑to‑end execution of project planning, resourcing, budgeting, and risk management.
• Guarantee delivery excellence – on time, on scope, and to the highest standards of quality.
• Partner with clients and cross‑functional teams to align every outcome with strategic business goals.
• Oversee flawless technical go‑lives, driving seamless testing and deployment.
• Track, measure, and report project performance with clarity and impact for senior leadership.
• Champion innovation and continuous improvement in tools, methodologies, and delivery approaches.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and excellence across the project management function.

What You’ll Bring:

Experience:

• Experience leading project management teams, ideally in a professional services or technology environment.
• Proven track record of delivering complex projects on time and within budget.
• Experience managing your own project portfolio while mentoring junior staff.
• Experience overseeing the testing and implementation of technical go‑lives.
• Experience with legal technology or SaaS implementations is highly desirable.

Knowledge and Skills:

• Strong leadership and people management skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate teams.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and negotiation skills.
• Expertise in project management methodologies (PRINCE2, Agile, or equivalent).
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving capabilities.
• Ability to foster collaboration and influence cross‑functional teams.
• Comfortable balancing strategic oversight with hands‑on project delivery.
• Passion for digital transformation and process excellence.

At Nexian, we are on a mission to reshape the legal sector through the power of technology. As a trusted partner to forward‑thinking law firms, we don’t just implement systems – we unlock potential. With Actionstep, the world’s leading SaaS practice management platform, and our expertise in AI, Microsoft, and digital transformation, we are helping firms leave outdated processes behind and embrace a smarter, more connected future.

You won’t just lead projects – you’ll lead transformation. If you’re ready to drive change, inspire a team, and leave your mark on a rapidly evolving industry, we want to hear from you.
