We unite cutting-edge media intelligence and data solutions, world-class creativity, next-generation production, transformative enterprise solutions and expert strategic counsel in a single company – powered by exceptional talent and our agentic marketing platform, WPP Open, to help our clients navigate change, capture opportunity and deliver transformational growth.

Our people are the key to our success. We’re committed to fostering a culture of creativity, belonging and continuous learning, attracting and developing the brightest talent, and providing exciting career opportunities that help our people grow.

Why we’re hiring:

WPP is accelerating the adoption of AI across the enterprise, investing in a portfolio of strategic initiatives designed to transform how work gets done across our global business.

Within Enterprise Technology, we’re enabling this transformation by building the platforms, capabilities and operating models that will power the next generation of work. From Microsoft Copilot and intelligent automation to emerging AI technologies and agentic workflows, we’re embedding AI into the fabric of how WPP operates globally.

We’re looking for a Project Manager (Value & Delivery) to help keep our Enterprise AI programme running at pace, ensuring adoption, utilisation and value measurement activities are delivered consistently and effectively across the organisation.

This role sits at the heart of the Value & Delivery team, providing the coordination, reporting and operational discipline that enables the programme to scale. You’ll combine project delivery, business analysis and performance tracking skills to ensure leaders have clear visibility of progress, benefits and risks, while helping keep the AI opportunity pipeline moving from idea to implementation.

If you’re highly organised, data-driven and enjoy turning complex moving parts into clear actions and outcomes, this is an opportunity to play a key role in one of WPP’s most important transformation programmes.

This role provides the project management and delivery-tracking backbone for the Value & Delivery & Measurement team, reporting to the Manager (Value & Delivery) – Enterprise AI. It runs the recurring cadence - licence utilisation, return on investment and benefits tracking, and adoption reporting - to a dependable rhythm rather than depending on one person, and provides hands‑on delivery coordination across the opportunity pipeline: tracking, scheduling, follow‑through and status reporting. This is a coordination and tracking role, distinct from the Medallion delivery team’s project managers, who run the build and deployment of agentic solutions themselves; here, the focus is on keeping the value and delivery reporting cadence moving and the opportunity pipeline visible and on schedule.

What you’ll be doing

• Manage the recurring cadence of adoption, utilisation and value reporting, ensuring weekly and monthly reporting cycles are delivered accurately and on schedule.
• Track licence utilisation and adoption across the Enterprise AI estate, helping identify optimisation opportunities and supporting investment decisions.
• Maintain benefits and ROI tracking against agreed business cases, ensuring evidence, assumptions and outcomes are clearly documented.
• Coordinate activity across the Enterprise AI opportunity pipeline, tracking progress, dependencies, actions and risks to ensure initiatives keep moving forward.
• Support use‑case intake and assessment processes, helping prioritise opportunities and ensuring requests are routed effectively through governance and delivery pathways.
• Assist with the configuration and maintenance of adoption and measurement reporting, including Viva Insights and related analytics platforms.
• Maintain programme governance artefacts, including RAID logs, action trackers, status reports and delivery plans.
• Prepare clear, concise reporting and updates for stakeholders, providing visibility of progress, risks, issues and outcomes.
• Work closely with programme, delivery, governance and business teams to ensure activities remain aligned and focused on measurable value.
• Help identify process improvements and opportunities to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of the Enterprise AI operating model.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in project management, programme delivery, business analysis or benefits tracking within a complex organisational environment.
• Proven ability to coordinate multiple activities and stakeholders while maintaining strong attention to detail and delivery discipline.
• Comfort working with data, metrics and reporting, with the ability to validate, explain and challenge information rather than simply present it.
• Strong organisational skills, with experience maintaining reporting cycles, governance artefacts and programme documentation.
• Analytical curiosity and a desire to understand the drivers behind performance, adoption and business outcomes.
• Experience working with reporting and analysis tools such as Excel, Power BI or similar platforms.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to tailor information for both operational and senior stakeholder audiences.
• A proactive, self‑directed approach with the confidence to drive actions, follow through on deliverables and keep programmes moving.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to produce clear, professional status reporting and programme updates.

Nice to have

• Experience with Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365 adoption programmes or digital transformation initiatives.
• Familiarity with Viva Insights, Power BI or workforce analytics platforms.
• Knowledge of benefits tracking, value realisation or programme performance measurement.
• Microsoft AZ-900, DP-900, PMP, PRINCE2 or similar qualifications.
• Experience working within a global organisation and coordinating distributed teams across multiple regions.
