About the Role
We’re excited to welcome a Facilities Project Manager on an 18‑month fixed‑term contract, offering a fantastic opportunity to play a central role in shaping, enhancing, and optimizing our workplace portfolio during a period of transformation.

This is a primarily site‑based role, with a strong presence required at our West London hub, alongside regular travel to our Central London location.
Reporting to the CFO, with project direction from the CTO, you’ll lead key initiatives including site moves, workplace upgrades, and portfolio optimisation, ensuring delivery is structured, efficient, and minimises disruption to business operations.
