Lead £1m+ Digital Products From Discovery to Launch

We’re partnered with an established digital product and consultancy business looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to take ownership of complex, high-value digital projects.

You’ll lead multidisciplinary teams across development, design, product, architecture and strategy, delivering web, mobile and software products for major clients.

This is not an internal IT Project Manager role. You’ll have direct client exposure, own £1m+ project budgets, influence delivery strategy and be involved from discovery, scoping and estimation through to launch.

The role is particularly suited to someone who has worked in a digital agency, consultancy, software or product environment and wants more ownership across delivery, clients and commercial performance.

What makes the role interesting?

• Own £1m+ digital projects from initial discovery through to launch.
• Lead multidisciplinary teams across Product, Engineering, Design, Architecture and Strategy.
• Work directly with senior stakeholders from major clients.
• Deliver customer-facing web, mobile and software products, rather than internal IT transformation.
• Have genuine ownership of budgets, forecasting, burn rates, invoicing and SOWs.
• Help shape scope, estimates, delivery approach and project strategy from the outset.
• Work across a varied portfolio of clients, technologies and industries.
• Build your career within an established digital product and consultancy environment.

The type of digital projects you'll be delivering

The focus is firmly on customer-facing digital products, rather than infrastructure or internal IT transformation.

You could be working across projects such as:

• iOS and Android mobile applications and customer-facing web platforms.
• Digital customer journeys, self-service platforms and account management solutions.
• Complex integrations and digital product enhancements.
• End-to-end customer journeys including onboarding, activation, account management and offboarding.
• Digital transformation programmes delivered through multiple multidisciplinary squads.
• Major product releases, roadmap delivery and continuous improvement.
• Projects where you own delivery across budget, forecasting, resource planning, scope and senior client stakeholders.

Previous projects have included major mobile product releases, customer self-service features, SIM/eSIM activation journeys and digital onboarding/offboarding experiences.

This is therefore a strong fit for someone who has delivered web, mobile or customer-facing software products and wants to continue working on large-scale digital experiences rather than infrastructure-led projects.
