As part of the UK Project Management team, you will be central to how Shift delivers for its clients.
You will own complex, client-facing projects from planning through execution, bringing structure, clarity and momentum across Delivery, Data Science, Product, Engineering, GTM and customer teams.
This role is suited to an experienced Project Manager who is already comfortable operating independently, but who also values coaching, feedback and continuous development. You will be expected to anticipate issues before they escalate, challenge ambiguity, improve how we work and bring practical ideas that strengthen delivery.
What You’ll Do
Own the end-to-end delivery of complex enterprise software projects across the UK portfolio
Build and maintain credible delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, RAID registers, decision logs and governance rhythms
Connect Shift’s Delivery, Data Science, Product, Engineering and GTM teams with the customer’s technical and business stakeholders
Anticipate delivery, resource, commercial and customer risks early, then bring clear options and recommendations
Drive actions to closure with named owners and dates, rather than relying on broad email chains or unclear follow-up
Provide concise, fact-based reporting for customers and senior leadership
Maintain accurate project and portfolio information across the relevant systems, including Salesforce, Jira and delivery-planning tools
Lead customer workshops, governance meetings, Steering Committees and recovery discussions where required
Support pre-sales and opportunity shaping by validating scope, delivery methodology, assumptions, resource needs, timelines and Statements of Work
Challenge unsupported commitments constructively and ensure Delivery and technical assumptions are understood before plans are positioned externally
Manage several workstreams or clients at the same time without losing control of detail, priorities or customer outcomes
Improve delivery practices through reusable templates, smarter workflows, automation and practical use of AI
Contribute to strategic UK and wider Delivery initiatives that make execution more predictable, repeatable and scalable
What You Bring
At least 5 years of experience delivering IT, SaaS, data, analytics or enterprise transformation projects
Strong experience managing complex, client-facing implementations involving multiple internal and external teams
The ability to operate independently, make sound judgments and know when to escalate
A proactive and pre-emptive mindset. You identify what is likely to go wrong and act before it becomes a problem
Strong ownership and follow-through. You do not wait to be chased
Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to make complex situations clear and actionable
Confidence working with senior customer stakeholders and internal leaders
Strong planning, governance, risk management and decision-management skills
Commercial awareness and the ability to understand how scope, effort, cost, margin and customer commitments affect Delivery
Comfort working in ambiguity and bringing order to incomplete or changi
