Senior Project Manager

The role:

Our project managers play a key role in the implementation and realisation of World First’s strategy. We are a driven and high-performing team, committed to delivering value across the business.  We are proud to say that we don’t tie ourselves to a particular project methodology, instead encouraging project managers to draw on their experience, industry knowledge and personal “toolkit” to find a best-fit approach for delivering each project – you won’t find unnecessary red-tape here!  This is an opportunity to work with a motivated and dynamic team to help shape the future of project management at World First.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will be passionate about managing change and will excel at delivering it. You will have responsibility for the delivery of multiple large-scale external and internal projects, ensuring that timescales, scope and stakeholder expectations are managed effectively
