About the Opportunity

We're recruiting Project Management professionals with approximately 1-6 years of experience to support change, business improvement and transformation projects with our clients.

We have opportunities available in either Manchester or London, depending on your location and the requirements of our clients. You won't be expected to work across both locations.

As a Grayce Project Management Consultant, you'll work as part of a client team, supporting the planning, coordination and delivery of projects that make a real difference to how organisations operate.

Depending on your experience and the assignment, your responsibilities may include:

• Project Planning & Coordination: Help develop and maintain project plans, track milestones and coordinate activities to keep projects moving forward.
• Project Delivery: Support the day-to-day delivery of projects, working with colleagues to ensure activities are completed on time and objectives are achieved.
• Risk & Issue Management: Identify, track and communicate project risks, issues and dependencies, helping teams address challenges before they affect delivery.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Build positive working relationships with colleagues, project teams and stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and alignment on priorities.
• Reporting & Governance: Prepare project updates, progress reports, meeting materials and documentation to provide visibility of project performance.
• Change & Improvement: Support business and technology change initiatives, helping teams implement new processes, systems and ways of working.

The scope of your responsibilities will depend on your experience and the client opportunity, with the chance to build your skills and take on greater responsibility as you progress.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in hearing from individuals with approximately 1-6 years of relevant Project Management experience who are looking to continue developing their careers.

Essential experience and skills:

• Demonstrable professional experience in Project Management, with practical involvement in coordinating, supporting or delivering projects.
• Experience working with project plans, tracking progress, managing actions and supporting project delivery activities.
• An understanding of project risks, issues, dependencies and reporting.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage priorities, meet deadlines and maintain attention to detail.
• Good communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with confidence working across different teams.
• A proactive, adaptable approach and a willingness to take ownership of responsibilities.
• The ability to work collaboratively, solve problems and contribute positively to project outcomes.
