Senior Project Manager

Edinburgh – Hybrid Working

Salary: c£70,000

We’re working with a growing technology consultancy that is looking for a Senior Project Manager to join its delivery function at an exciting stage of growth. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of complex client engagements, working closely with technical teams, and bringing structure, pace, and confidence to software delivery projects.

The role

  • Take ownership of the full project lifecycle, from early client engagement and scope definition through to successful delivery and closure.
  • Lead software delivery projects using agile principles
  • Act as the bridge between clients and technical teams, ensuring project scope, timelines, deliverables, risks, and expectations are clearly understood.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects across varied customer environments
  • Produce project plans, progress reports, requirements documentation, proposals, and stakeholder presentations.
  • Build trusted relationships with clients, partners, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to support successful delivery and ongoing engagement.
  • Help mature and improve delivery ways of working, sharing best practice and supporting a culture of continuous improvement.

What we’re looking for

  • A strong Senior Project Manager with experience delivering software development projects across the full project lifecycle.
  • Confidence managing complex customer and stakeholder relationships in a client-facing environment.
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent projects or delivery workstreams.
  • Commercial awareness, with the ability to balance client needs, delivery priorities, budgets, and risks.
  • Familiarity with public sector or education environments beneficial
  • Prior consultancy experience highly desirable
  • Exposure to Security or IAM projects is a plus

This would suit someone who is proactive, commercially minded, and comfortable operating in a growing consultancy environment. You’ll need to be able to manage detail without losing sight of the bigger picture, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and bring a mature, solutions-focused approach to delivery challenges.

  • If you’re an experienced Project Manager who enjoys client-facing delivery, working with technical teams, and shaping projects through a period of growth, this could be a fantastic next step. Please apply or get in touch for a confidential conversation.
