Project Management Consultant, 12 month FTC

At Credera, we are passionate about helping our clients deliver complex, business-critical IT and digital transformation projects. Our clients include some of the most recognised brands in industry, and our projects are every bit as challenging and rewarding as those found in leading global consultancies.

As a Managing Consultant, you'll play a key role in shaping and delivering our Project and Programme Management capability - helping clients achieve lasting business transformation. You'll have the backing of a well-established firm with an exceptional delivery track record, strong values, and a collaborative culture. We recognise that great talent comes in many forms and welcome conversations about part-time or flexible working for this role.

What You'll Do

Our Project Management consultants lead complex transformation programmes from inception to delivery, ensuring successful outcomes across people, process, and technology. You'll manage client engagements, oversee project governance, and ensure that delivery excellence and client satisfaction remain at the core of every engagement.

Internally, you'll contribute to the ongoing development of Credera's Programme Leadership and Delivery Management capabilities - sharing knowledge, mentoring colleagues, and supporting business growth through client extensions and bid activity.

Based out of any of our UK offices, this is a permanent role within our Management Consulting function. At Credera, we operate a flexible hybrid working model, requiring 3 days per week onsite - either at client sites or your local Credera office (preferably London). We value collaboration and client impact, balancing flexibility with in-person connection to deliver exceptional results.

• Develop and manage project plans, risk registers, RAID logs, and communications to maintain stakeholder confidence and control.
• Conduct analysis of current business processes, identifying inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Shape delivery roadmaps and transformation approaches aligned to client strategy and objectives.
• Act as a trusted advisor to client project sponsors and stakeholders, guiding them through complex transformation programmes.
• Engage and manage cross-functional teams - including technology, change, and operations - to deliver integrated solutions.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks, resolve issues, and ensure quality assurance throughout project lifecycles.
• Support business development activities, including bid writing, proposal development, and client account growth.
• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, methodology development, and mentoring of junior consultants.

• You're organised, pragmatic, and delivery-focused, with a proven ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders.
• You have a passion for enabling technology-led change and ensuring measurable business outcomes.
• You demonstrate excellent communication and influencing skills, able to engage confidently at all organisational levels.
• You're collaborative and personable, with high emotional intelligence and the ability to lead diverse teams.
• You have a keen eye for detail and strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn insight into practical delivery plans.
• You're experienced with delivery frameworks and tools such as PRINCE2, Agile, Scrum, or MSP, and comfortable applying them pragmatically.

Typical areas of expertise include:

• Project and programme management across IT or digital transformation initiatives.
• Delivery governance, stakeholder engagement, and risk management.
• Business case development and benefits realisation.
• Operating model and process change delivery.

Desirable Skills
