We're looking for a confident, commercially aware Project Manager to join Netteam tX, taking ownership of the successful delivery of customer IT projects from initial handover through to completion. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where you'll manage larger and more complex projects yourself, while also helping us drive consistency, visibility and strong project management across our wider portfolio. You'll take end-to-end ownership of technical customer projects, ensuring they are properly scoped, planned, resourced and commercially controlled before and throughout delivery.

Own customer communication throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring expectations are clear and issues are addressed early. Manage project budgets, sold versus actual hours, margin, forecasting, change control and billing readiness. Identify projects that are at risk of delay, overspend or scope creep and put clear recovery plans in place. Ensure additional or out-of-scope work is properly assessed, documented, priced and approved. Work closely with Sales and Pre-Sales to ensure projects entering delivery have a clear scope, appropriate technical design and validated customer prerequisites. Support effective resource and capacity planning across Professional Services. Maintain accurate and up-to-date project information within our PSA platform. Provide clear project and portfolio reporting, highlighting risks, resource constraints, financial exposure and decisions required.

Project management qualifications such as PRINCE2, APM, AgilePM or PMP would be advantageous, although practical experience delivering successfully within an MSP environment is more important to us.

What matters is that you understand technology well enough to ask the right questions, recognise risks and bring together the right technical people to deliver the solution. You'll be someone who remains calm when projects become difficult, communicates clearly with customers, spots problems before they become major issues and is comfortable taking ownership rather than simply reporting that something has gone wrong.
