Excel jobs in United Kingdom

Altum is proud to be partnering with a high-impact, evidence-based global nonprofit in its search for an Interim Project Manager (3-4 month contract).

The organisation works to prevent serious childhood health harms through policy change, market reform and government engagement, and is widely recognised as delivering one of the most cost-effective public health interventions globally. As the organisation continues to scale across countries and time zones, this interim role will provide essential continuity and structure during a transition period.

This contract role will work closely with a senior leader and the wider operations team to maintain momentum, keep projects running on time, and ensure organisational planning and rhythms continue smoothly. A consultant is currently in post setting up systems and processes; this role will pick up where they leave off in January, keeping things ticking over until a permanent hire is made and longer-term planning resumes.

The successful candidate will need to get up to speed quickly, communicate clearly across time zones, and bring a calm, organised approach to a fast-moving environment.

• Maintain and run core organisational rhythms, including goal-setting cycles, project check-ins and planning cadences

• Own and update the organisational calendar, ensuring priorities, deadlines and milestones are clear and on track

• Support cross-functional projects to stay on time, flag risks early, and ensure strong follow-through

• Work closely with a Toronto-based stakeholder, managing time-zone differences and maintaining excellent written and verbal communication

• Use and maintain Google Sheets and Excel trackers; confidently read and work with existing scripts and structured spreadsheets

• Provide continuity on systems, processes and documentation set up by the outgoing consultant

• Act as a steady operational presence during the interim period, ensuring handover readiness for a future permanent hire

• Strong experience in project management, operations, or programme delivery (consulting or interim experience highly welcome)

• Highly organised with a strong systems mindset and excellent attention to detail

• Very confident with Google Sheets and Excel; comfortable reading and working with scripts

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in distributed, remote teams

• Experience working across time zones and with global stakeholders

• Able to quickly understand and adapt to existing processes

• Interest in mission-driven work (alignment valued, but less critical given the temporary nature of the role)

• Contract length: 3-4 months

• Location: Fully remote

• Start date: January 2026 (or as soon as possible thereafter)

• Working pattern: Full-time preferred; must be able to overlap meaningfully with North American working hours

• Rolling applications

• Short screening conversation followed by interviews

Altum is acting as a partner to the organisation and will be managing initial applications on their behalf.

The organisation is an equal-opportunity employer. They celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all contractors and employees. All candidates are evaluated based on merit, skills and experience, without discrimination on any protected characteristic.
