This vacancy is open to employees of the University of Nottingham only. 

An exciting secondment opportunity has arisen within the PPSC Projects and Change team, available until March 2024. 

We are seeking a dynamic, proactive senior project manager to contribute to all aspects of project management supporting strategic projects and programmes. This will involve project management and administration in relation to project planning, risk, change management, communication, financial management, and governance. 

We are seeking to appoint someone who is well-organised, motivated and flexible and who is excited by the opportunity to work on high-profile projects in the University.

As Senior Project Manager, you will:

    Support and promote the delivery of the University’s Strategic Change Portfolio.  

    Work with a wide range of stakeholders to enable projects and programmes to deliver the identified outputs, outcomes, and benefits.  

    Focus on ensuring the projects and programmes in scope provide value for money and underpin the University’s strategic ambition. 

You will be:

We encourage you to apply anyway as we know that a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace is not only a better place to work but also produces higher-quality solutions. If you are excited by the opportunities of this role, but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement, you should still apply; you may be just the right candidate.

This role is available as an internal secondment until 29/03/2024.  Hours of work are full-time (36.25 hours); however, applications are also welcome from candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum 30 hours per week). Please specify in your application if you wish to work part time and the number of preferred hours. Job share arrangements may be considered.
