This is a varied leadership role for someone who still enjoys delivering projects themselves. You’ll manage a team of six Project Managers, while spending around 40% of your time managing your own customer projects. The work is varied, with project sizes ranging from short two-day engagements through to larger implementations of up to 200 days, with budgets up to £200k. The company delivers SaaS solutions to customers across public and private sector environments. This role has become available due to an internal promotion, so you’ll be joining a team with existing structure, support and knowledge around you. Project Management Team Lead £60,000 - £65,000 + bonus + benefits Remote-first, with monthly travel to Bedford Must be within 2 hours of Bedford You’ll be responsible for helping the team deliver well-run projects across time, cost, quality and customer expectations. That means coaching and supporting Project Managers, reviewing project documentation, handling escalations where needed, improving reporting, and making sure risks, dependencies and blockers are properly managed. You’ll also have your own portfolio of projects, so this is not a purely people-management role. You’ll stay close to delivery, customer communication, project governance, change control, billing milestones and stakeholder management. What you’ll be doing You’ll line manage and support a team of six Project Managers, helping them with delivery challenges, personal development, customer communication and project governance. You’ll manage multiple customer-facing SaaS implementation projects yourself, working across internal teams, customers and stakeholders to keep projects moving. You’ll review documentation, support reporting, manage escalations, improve team capability, and help maintain a consistent standard of delivery across the team. You’ll also contribute to monthly reporting across the Professional Services function, looking at performance, project progress, team capacity and delivery quality. What you’ll need You’ll need previous leadership experience, whether that is as a Project Management Team Lead, Lead Project Manager, Senior Project Manager with mentoring responsibility, or a similar role. You must have experience delivering SaaS implementation projects in a customer-facing environment. You’ll need to be comfortable managing at least 10 concurrent projects, either directly or across your team. You’ll also need to be eligible for NPPV3 screening, which will take place once employment commences. Experience across Agile, Waterfall, Scrum or Kanban environments would be useful, as would PRINCE2, PMP or Scrum Master certification, but these are not essential. Public sector project experience would also be beneficial. Location and working pattern The role is remote-first, but you must be based within two hours of the Bedford office, as you’ll be expected to attend the office around once per month. There may also be occasional travel to customer sites or other company offices. Salary and benefits Salary is £60,000 - £65,000, plus a discretionary bonus scheme. Benefits include 25 days’ holiday plus public holidays, workplace pension, life assurance, company sick pay, Perkbox, professional membership support, eyecare support, cycle to work scheme, flu jab vouchers, free will-writing service, access to independent financial advice, and a SAYE share scheme. Interview process The interview process is two stages, including meetings with the Head of Project Management. If you’re an experienced project delivery professional who enjoys leading people but still wants to stay close to hands-on project management, this would be a strong role to explore. If this Project Manager role would be of interest APPLY NOW or contact Ruby Calver at Spectrum IT Recruitment.
