**About the role**…

We’re looking for a talented Project Manager to join our forward-thinking and dynamic Portfolio team in London. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering strategic projects that support our growing partnerships with local councils and private landlords.

A key focus of this role will be supporting our partnership with Essex County Council, one of our most significant contracts, which will see almost 200 bus shelters installed across the county over the next eight years.

-   Managing risks, issues and dependencies through effective RAID management, escalating where required and ensuring appropriate actions are taken.
-   Providing clear project updates through trackers, dashboards and reporting to support decision-making and visibility.

**Who are you?**

We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager who thrives in a collaborative environment and has a strong track record of successfully delivering complex projects.

You’ll have:

-   Extensive experience managing projects of varying size, value and complexity.
-   A **PRINCE2 qualification (essential)**.
-   Proven experience delivering projects from initiation through to successful completion.
-   Strong experience in project planning, RAID management, risk mitigation and stakeholder communication.
-   The ability to confidently lead meetings, influence stakeholders and drive decisions.
-   Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities effectively.
-   A proactive approach to problem-solving, with the ability to overcome challenges and identify process improvements.
-   Strong attention to detail and the ability to quickly understand and adapt to new processes.
-   Strong skills in Microsoft Project, Excel, PowerPoint, Word and other project management tools.
