We're hiring a Senior Project Manager with a strong track record delivering projects into the public sector. You'll need to be confident running project governance, managing delivery teams, and contributing to bid responses (specifically the delivery element – not full bids).

The Role
You’ll be the senior figure overseeing delivery across multiple projects, working closely with the Ops and Tech teams. The client base is public sector-focused, so you’ll need to understand how to operate within formal governance structures and frameworks. You’ll also help shape how delivery runs as the business grows.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead multi-disciplinary project teams across multiple accounts

  • Drive delivery process improvement and consistency

  • Oversee project budgets, timelines, and reporting

  • Act as the delivery SME in bids and tender responses

  • Manage project risks and ensure delivery stays on track

  • Mentor junior PMs and support team development

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years’ project delivery experience in tech environments

  • Experience delivering into public sector clients (local or central gov)

  • Able to write detailed delivery sections for bids and proposals

  • Strong stakeholder management skills

  • Experienced in Agile and Waterfall

  • Comfortable with JIRA, MS Project, etc.

  • Relevant certifications (Prince2, Agile, MSP, PMP etc.)

Nice to Have

  • Knowledge of government frameworks

  • Experience building and evolving delivery frameworks

  • Hands-on leadership of technical teams (devs, testers, analysts)

Package

  • Salary up to £60k (DOE)

  • Hybrid working – 3 days in the Cardiff Office

  • 25 days holiday (+ bank holidays)

  • Pension

  • Bonus Scheme

  • Life insurance, Virtual GP, dental cover and wellness perks

About the Company
Fast-growing, Wales-based company delivering tailored tech solutions to commercial and public sector clients. Well backed, scaling fast, and winning business through frameworks like G-Cloud. Clear growth plans to triple turnover over the next few years. Delivery is central to the success so this role is key.
