Work on Technology That Protects What Matters
At SiXworks, we build secure digital solutions that support Defence and National Security missions. Our teams work on complex problems where reliability, security, and speed of innovation matter.
We’re looking for a Project Manager who enjoys solving difficult technical challenges and wants their work to have real operational impact.
What You’ll Do
As a Project Manager, you’ll help design, build, and deliver secure digital solutions in highly secure environments. You’ll work alongside engineers, architects, and delivery specialists to develop technology that enables faster, safer decision‑making for critical operations.
Your work may include:
- Project management—managing all aspects of project delivery, including forecasting, change management and risk management.
- Overseeing deliverables from cross‑functional teams, vendors, and business resources.
- Fostering open communication across teams to identify cross‑team development dependencies and risks early on.
- Experience working in a project delivery environment with a sound understanding of structured and agile methodologies and applying them in separate situations (e.g., APMP, MSP, Jira, Tempo, Scrum).
- Problem‑solving—identifying problems collaboratively and developing actions/solutions, communicating both to key stakeholders and presenting information through reports, dashboards and slides as appropriate.
- Market experience working within the UK Defence & Security sector is advantageous.
What We’re Looking For
We value people who take ownership, think critically, and enjoy working as part of a collaborative team tackling complex challenges. You don’t need to tick every box, but we’re particularly interested in people with skills/experience in:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, Project Management, or related fields preferred or equivalent experience.
- Strong project management, risk management, and procurement management skills.
- Familiarity with the Scrum, Shape Up and Kanban profiles and methodologies.
Just as important are curiosity, strong problem‑solving ability, and the motivation to continuously improve how technology is designed and delivered.
