[Hiring] Junior Project Manager @Reach plc

Role Description

Are you early in your Project Management career and looking for a role with a runway for growth? Do you thrive in fast-paced, complex environments where no two days are the same?

We are looking for an ambitious, highly organised, and proactive Associate/Junior Project Manager to join our Product & Technology PMO team .

Working alongside experienced PMs, you’ll balance core PMO governance with hands-on ownership of your own lightweight projects. You won't just sit on the sidelines. You'll learn directly from senior practitioners. With plenty of room to take on bigger initiatives, expand your technical scope, and grow your PM skills.

What the role involves

• Lead Lightweight Projects: Manage small initiatives end-to-end keeping scope, timelines, and quality aligned using agile, right-sized PM practices.
• Drive Governance & Accountability: Maintain decision, action, risk, and issue logs. You’ll proactively follow up with team members across the business to ensure commitments stay on schedule.
• Craft Clear Stakeholder Reporting: Help paint the picture of portfolio health by gathering updates and maintaining clear dashboards for business leads and senior executives.
• Run Effective Meetings: Facilitate regular project huddles, document key decisions, and ensure our PMO tools remain the single source of truth.
• Support PMO Operations: Help refine team administration, manage intake requests, and keep our digital workspaces pristine.

Qualifications

• 1+ Year of Experience: Hands-on exposure within a project management, PMO, or operations role (preferably within a technology-led environment or software function).
• Remote Pro: Comfortable managing your time independently, prioritising tasks in a busy environment, and collaborating virtually across multiple channels.
• Confident Communicator: Strong written and verbal communication skills with the confidence to deal with stakeholders at all levels of the business.
• Detail & Organisation: Exceptional organisational habits, high standards for data accuracy, and a proactive mindset; you flag risks before they become roadblocks.
• Tech & Tool Savvy: Practical experience with project management software familiarity with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides), and a foundational understanding of the Software Delivery Lifecycle (SDLC).
• PM Certifications (Bonus!): CAPM, PRINCE2 Foundation, or equivalent formal project management training is a plus!

• An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
