Working closely with software developers and researchers, this role focuses on keeping complex technical projects on track, prioritised and delivered to a high standard. The environment is evidence-driven and highly automated, and the emphasis is on structured delivery, continuous improvement, and quality output rather than bureaucracy.
THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Monitor progress across multiple concurrent technical projects
- Own and maintain delivery roadmaps, adapting plans as priorities shift
- Ensure projects are delivered on time and resources are used effectively
- Implement and evolve project management practices to suit the team and environment
- Identify risks early and flag issues clearly, while also spotting opportunities to improve ways of working
- Review and refine processes, workflows and resource allocation on an ongoing basis
- Support documentation and reporting to keep delivery transparent and well understood
- Work closely with developers and researchers, coordinating team members and mentoring junior colleagues
- Maintain a strong focus on quality, structure and delivery discipline
YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- Degree educated (BSc or higher) in a technical, engineering or related subject
- Several years’ experience managing complex technical projects
- Strong technical aptitude with a solid understanding of software and IT infrastructure
- Programming experience in C# and the .NET ecosystem
- Database experience (SQL Server, Oracle or equivalent)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- Highly organised, detail-oriented and comfortable prioritising competing demands
- Proactive in expanding your technical and domain knowledge
- Collaborative, diplomatic approach with the credibility to lead and influence technical teams
- Experience with version control systems (e.g. Git, PlasticSCM, Mercurial) and project management tools (e.g. YouTrack) is beneficial but not essential
