Project Manager

Consula is recruiting on behalf of a leading London employer for an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of key projects across the capital. Our client has built a strong reputation within London's fast-moving commercial landscape, and this role will play a central part in turning plans into results on time, on budget and to a high standard.

This is a business that invests properly in its projects and its people. You will be given real ownership from day one, with the backing of a senior leadership team that understands the value of good project management and gives you the room to do the job properly.

This opportunity would suit a confident, organised Project Manager who enjoys taking ownership, bringing teams together and keeping stakeholders informed from start to finish.

Location: London

Salary: £63,000 – £65,000 per year

Employment: Permanent

The Role

• Leading projects from initiation through planning, delivery and close, typically running several workstreams at once.
• Defining scope, objectives, timelines and resource requirements, and agreeing these with sponsors before work begins.

• Managing project budgets, tracking spend and reporting on financial performance to senior stakeholders.
• Identifying, recording and managing risks, issues and dependencies before they affect delivery.

• Coordinating cross-functional teams, suppliers and third parties across multiple London sites.
• Producing clear progress reports and presenting updates at steering groups and board level.

• Ensuring quality standards, governance and change control are followed throughout the project lifecycle.
• Capturing lessons learned and driving continuous improvement across the wider project portfolio.

A Typical Day

No two days look the same, but most will start with a review of where each project stands against plan. You might spend the morning with your delivery team clearing blockers and re-sequencing work, then move into a supplier review or a site visit in the afternoon. You will regularly sit down with sponsors and senior stakeholders to talk through progress, finances and any decisions that need making. Towards the end of the day you will update plans, risks and reports so that everyone starts the next morning with a clear picture. It is a role for someone who likes being at the centre of things and takes pride in keeping complex work moving.

About You

• Proven experience managing projects of varying size and complexity, ideally in a fast-paced commercial environment.
• Strong planning, organisation and prioritisation skills, with the ability to juggle competing demands.

• Confident stakeholder management and excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Experience managing budgets and delivering against agreed milestones.

• Familiarity with project methodologies such as PRINCE2, Agile or APM.
• A recognised project management qualification is desirable but not essential.

• A calm, solutions-focused approach under pressure, with the credibility to challenge constructively when needed.

What You Can Expect

• A permanent position with an established organisation that values its people.
• Opportunities to lead high-profile projects and develop your career towards senior programme roles.

• A supportive, collaborative team culture that recognises results.
• 28 days' annual leave, including bank holidays.

• A competitive benefits package, discussed in full at interview stage.
