THE OPPORTUNITY
We are hiring a Junior Project Manager / IT Project Coordinator to support a more structured, scalable PMO. The role is aimed at someone organised, client-facing and commercially aware, with around 1-2 years experience coordinating IT projects.
You will help coordinate multiple IT migration and security projects, while being developed into someone who can independently manage delivery quality, client communication and project administration.
ABOUT THE ROLE
- Coordinate multiple client projects across different stages of the lifecycle.
- Liaise with clients to schedule project work, meetings and updates.
- Support the senior PM with onboarding new clients and organising projects.

- Identify repeated manual admin and suggest opportunities for automation or process improvement.
- Work with technical teams to keep project execution practical, clear and well sequenced.
ABOUT YOU
You have a good background in delivering projects including experience in Office 365. You have an awareness of Agile ways of working, and willingness to obtain a credential (we’ll fund it). Excellent written communication including user facing guides.
DEVELOPMENT EXPECTATIONS
