Make a real impact as we shape the future of our organisation

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead a talented team and drive high‑quality, people‑focused change across our organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of our journey as an innovative, digitally focused housing association.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you’ll lead and inspire a team of Project Managers and contractors, providing day‑to‑day line management, coaching, and support to help them develop, grow, and deliver at their best. You’ll set clear goals and KPIs for the team and foster a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring everyone has the tools and confidence they need to succeed.

Alongside this leadership responsibility, you’ll personally manage a number of complex, high‑profile projects. You’ll develop detailed, baselined project plans that align with our project lifecycle and governance framework, ensuring every project stays on track and is delivered to agreed time, cost, and quality standards. You’ll also help shape and embed our organisation‑wide project management methodology, working closely with colleagues across the Projects & Programmes team to drive consistency, good practice, and stakeholder buy‑in.

A key part of your role will be building strong, collaborative relationships across the business and beyond. You’ll engage and communicate regularly with stakeholders at all levels, helping them understand project impacts, progress, risks, and decisions. You’ll manage project risks and issues effectively, oversee change control, and ensure that all testing, acceptance, and handover activities are completed smoothly so projects transition into business‑as‑usual successfully.

What we’re looking for

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• Proven experience delivering business or technical change in a project environment.

• Strong knowledge of project management methodologies and frameworks.

• A collaborative, customer‑centric approach that aligns with our values.

• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

• Experience leading teams, coaching others, and building positive working relationships.

• Confidence managing complex risks, issues, and dependencies across large, multi‑functional environments.

So, if you’re passionate about great project management, building strong relationships, and enabling meaningful organisational change, we’d love to hear from you.
