Project Manager
Project Manager | Data & AI
Manchester City Centre (Hybrid)
Up to £50,000 + Benefits
I'm working exclusively with a growing financial services business that is investing heavily in Data, Analytics and AI.
Reporting directly to the Chief Data & Analytics Officer, this is an opportunity to become the operational right-hand to a senior leader driving transformation across Data Engineering, Analytics, BI and Machine Learning.
This isn't a traditional project coordination role.
You'll be responsible for bringing structure, pace and accountability to a technically ambitious team, ensuring projects are delivered on time and that stakeholders remain aligned across multiple workstreams.
You'll work on a range of initiatives including data platform transformation, AI-enabled products, analytics delivery and investment pricing optimisation.
What you'll be doing:
• Managing end-to-end delivery of data and analytics projects
• Coordinating work across Data Engineering, BI and AI/ML teams
• Running Agile ceremonies and delivery governance
• Managing project plans, RAID logs and stakeholder communications
• Removing blockers and driving accountability across teams
• Translating technical progress into clear business outcomes
What we're looking for:
• Experience delivering data, analytics, technology or digital transformation projects
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience working with technical teams including data engineers, analysts or software developers
• Agile, Prince2 or similar project management certification
• A proactive approach and the confidence to challenge constructively when needed
Why join?
• Direct exposure to the CDO and senior leadership team
• Opportunity to help shape a growing Data & Analytics function
• Exposure to cutting-edge AI and machine learning initiatives
• High visibility role with genuine influence
• Hybrid working in Manchester city centre
If you're a Project Manager looking to move closer to Data, Analytics and AI, or already operating in that space and want greater ownership and visibility, I'd be keen to speak with you.
