Executive leadership appointment with long-term progression

We are representing an established and highly regarded multidisciplinary consultancy seeking an exceptional senior leader to head its Project Management business across the North of England.

This is a significant regional leadership appointment with responsibility for a substantial team, key client relationships, commercial performance and the continued growth of an already successful Project Management offering.

It is not simply a project delivery role.

We are looking for a leader, strategist and proven work winner who can:

• Lead, inspire and develop large Project Management teams
• Shape and deliver an ambitious regional growth strategy
• Build trusted relationships with senior clients
• Generate opportunities and secure significant new commissions
• Take responsibility for revenue, profitability, pipeline and performance
• Unite teams across multiple locations around a clear vision
• Operate confidently at Board and C-suite level

You will be an established Director or senior industry leader with significant experience gained within a UK property, construction or multidisciplinary consultancy. You will bring strong commercial acumen, an established network across the North and a demonstrable track record of developing teams and winning work.

Relationships and experience across one or more of the following growth sectors would be particularly valuable, within both the public and private sectors:

• Advanced Manufacturing
• Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences
• Commercial
• Education
• Defence
• Healthcare

Chartered status through RICS, APM or another relevant professional body would be advantageous.

The business already has the people, capability, reputation and platform. The opportunity is to bring greater strategic focus, strengthen key client relationships and lead the next phase of ambitious growth across the North.

For the right person, this role offers genuine influence, significant autonomy, senior-level visibility and excellent long-term progression.

All enquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.
