THX is investing in technology to simplify operations, scale intelligently, and remove friction from the business. We are looking for an IT Project Manager who can take ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives and turn strategy into delivery that actually sticks. You will operate at the intersection of technology, operations, and senior leadership, owning delivery end-to-end — from shaping and planning through to adoption and measurable outcomes. If you are comfortable with responsibility, ambiguity, and senior exposure — and enjoy making complex environments work better. We are offering this role on a 12 Month fixed-term contract based onsite at our Cambridge Offices. What you will be responsible for You will lead the delivery of business-critical IT and digital initiatives, ensuring they are delivered on time, aligned to business priorities, and adopted by the organisation.
