Project Manager

The role

We are looking for someone enthusiastic and driven to come and join our organisation as a Project Manager. You’ll work alongside our delivery team to develop and deploy solutions for our customers. Our head office is based in Leeds; however, this role can also be performed remotely from your home. It may involve travel around the country from time to time and very occasionally international travel.

The role requires working with a wide-ranging number of people and different customer requirements, so adaptability is crucial alongside excellent time management and organisational skills. Above all, we are looking for an individual with a can-do attitude who can fit right into the team and take pride in our work.
