Project Manager, Leadership role – Cambridge

An established, highly respected international real estate consultancy is seeking a senior project management professional to take on a leadership role overseeing its Cambridge operation.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a visible, autonomous position within a well‑regarded firm, leading a high‑performing local team and shaping the next phase of growth in one of the UK’s most dynamic and innovation‑led property markets.

The Opportunity

  • Lead and develop an established Cambridge-based team within a broader, collaborative national business
  • Act as a senior figurehead in the regional market, building long-term client relationships and profile
  • Oversee and deliver major commercial and life sciences projects
  • Play a genuine role in setting strategy, driving growth and shaping the office’s future direction
  • Enjoy the backing, infrastructure and reputation of a mature consultancy, without bureaucracy

About You

  • Senior-level Project Management background within commercial real estate or development
  • Comfortable leading complex, high-value schemes from inception to delivery
  • Strong network and market credibility (Cambridge experience advantageous, but not essential)
  • People-first leadership style: collaborative, low-ego, and culturally attuned
  • Commercially minded with a desire to build, grow and take ownership

This role will particularly suit someone either already established in the Cambridge market, or a London-based professional looking to step into a more entrepreneurial regional leadership position.
