Job description

We are seeking an experienced Project Executive to support the successful planning, coordination, and delivery of strategic projects from initiation through to completion. The role will work closely with internal teams, external partners, and senior stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. You will help translate business objectives into clear project plans, establish milestones, monitor progress, and ensure that risks, issues, and dependencies are identified and managed effectively.

Key responsibilities include preparing project documentation, schedules, budgets, reports, and presentations; coordinating meetings, workshops, and project activities; tracking deliverables and performance against agreed objectives; and maintaining accurate records throughout the project lifecycle. You will support governance processes, facilitate communication between stakeholders, and provide timely updates on progress, costs, risks, and emerging challenges. The role may also involve coordinating procurement activities, managing suppliers or consultants, supporting change implementation, and contributing to the evaluation and closure of completed projects.

The successful candidate will have proven experience in project coordination, project management, business operations, or a related field. You should be highly organised, commercially aware, and confident managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication, stakeholder management, analytical, and problem-solving skills are essential, together with the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Experience with project management methodologies, reporting tools, budget tracking, and risk management will be advantageous. A relevant professional qualification or certification is desirable, as is a track record of delivering complex projects or programmes in a structured and accountable manner.
