Project Manager – Manchester (Hybrid) – £70,000

This isn’t a role for someone who just tracks delivery.

It’s for a proper Project Manager who can sit in the middle of business, tech and clients — and make things happen.

You’ll be joining a FinTech business with a strong product already in market, growing quickly, and onboarding new clients at pace.

The challenge now is simple: delivery needs to scale, and it needs to land properly with customers.

They’re building out the Change function, so this is about bringing structure, governance and confidence — without slowing the business down.

What you’ll actually be doing

  • Owning end-to-end delivery — scope, plan, timelines, budget and quality
  • Acting as the key point of contact for clients — partners, stakeholders
  • Managing delivery across internal engineering/product teams and external parties
  • Putting in place governance that actually works — RAID, reporting, escalation
  • Driving complex, multi-party deliveries where dependencies matter
  • Supporting client onboarding, integrations and rollout of new capabilities
  • Contributing to how the PMO / delivery function is shaped and matured

This is a client-facing delivery role, not internal-only project tracking.

What matters

  • Proven experience delivering in a SaaS / platform environment
  • Strong client-facing experience — managing external stakeholders and expectations
  • Comfortable owning delivery where things aren’t perfectly defined
  • Experience working across multiple teams, suppliers and moving priorities
  • Use of AI within your PM workflow (planning, reporting, comms, prioritisation — not product)

What separates the strong from the average

  • Delivered API integrations or system / platform migrations
  • Experience in regulated or complex environments
  • Exposure to POS / transactional systems or customer journey flows
  • Helped shape or improve a PMO / delivery function
  • Can show you’ve improved delivery outcomes, not just reported on them

If you’re used to being trusted with delivery that’s visible, complex and client-critical, this will land.
