Project Manager

Project Manager (Defence Digital) – Contract

Bristol | 3 days onsite | £500–£600/day | Outside IR35 | 12 months

This isn’t a standard PM role.

You’ll be delivering into a next-generation MOD tactical communications programme - where the challenge isn’t building the tech... it’s making it all work together.

You’ll sit inside a Defence Digital environment, bringing structure, governance and control across a complex, multi-stakeholder programme.

You’ll be:

• Driving delivery across scope, cost, risk and schedule
• Managing RAID, reporting and governance in line with MOD frameworks
• Coordinating across MOD, suppliers and technical teams
• Supporting senior decision-making in a high-assurance environment

This is less about deep technical knowledge... and more about knowing how to navigate MOD and make delivery happen.

You’ll need:

• Strong experience in MOD / Defence Digital environments
• Solid understanding of governance, JSPs and project controls
• Confidence managing stakeholders across military and supplier teams
• Ability to operate in uncertain, evolving programmes
• Huge bonus if you have all the above and worked with military communication systems.

🔐 Must hold active SC clearance (Higher level clearance a bonus)

If you’re a defence PM who can bring control to complexity - this is a strong one.
