Project Manager

Project Manager | Data & AI

Manchester City Centre (Hybrid)

Up to £50,000 + Benefits

I'm working exclusively with a growing financial services business that is investing heavily in Data, Analytics and AI.

Reporting directly to the Chief Data & Analytics Officer, this is an opportunity to become the operational right-hand to a senior leader driving transformation across Data Engineering, Analytics, BI and Machine Learning.

This isn't a traditional project coordination role.

You'll be responsible for bringing structure, pace and accountability to a technically ambitious team, ensuring projects are delivered on time and that stakeholders remain aligned across multiple workstreams.

You'll work on a range of initiatives including data platform transformation, AI-enabled products, analytics delivery and investment pricing optimisation.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing end-to-end delivery of data and analytics projects

• Coordinating work across Data Engineering, BI and AI/ML teams

• Running Agile ceremonies and delivery governance

• Managing project plans, RAID logs and stakeholder communications

• Removing blockers and driving accountability across teams

• Translating technical progress into clear business outcomes

What we're looking for:

• Experience delivering data, analytics, technology or digital transformation projects

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

• Experience working with technical teams including data engineers, analysts or software developers

• Agile, Prince2 or similar project management certification

• A proactive approach and the confidence to challenge constructively when needed

Why join?

• Direct exposure to the CDO and senior leadership team

• Opportunity to help shape a growing Data & Analytics function

• Exposure to cutting-edge AI and machine learning initiatives

• High visibility role with genuine influence

• Hybrid working in Manchester city centre

If you're a Project Manager looking to move closer to Data, Analytics and AI, or already operating in that space and want greater ownership and visibility, I'd be keen to speak with you.
