Junior IT Project Manager

A project without sufficient oversight and coordination might not deliver positive outcomes, which is where our Project Managers come in. You’ll use methodologies like Agile/Scrum and Prince2 to define project scopes, set timelines, and manage resources. If you see the project meander, you’re there to put it back on track through leadership, communication and problem-solving. To align the project with wider business goals, you’ll never lose sight of effective risk management and budgeting while upholding quality standards. Experience in delivering large, complex IT projects is a must.
As a Junior Project Manager the criteria for successful project delivery is part of your DNA. Your projects are always on time, within budget, meet our client’s quality standards and align with the business goals. Your people management, presales, leadership and communication skills mean you’re never caught by surprise, remaining proactive from project concept to delivery while your resource management skills mean there are always resources kept aside for problems that might arise. The planning, execution and oversight of projects are informed by client goals, sometimes requiring bespoke solutions for each, and sensible management of the workload that goes with them.
