Are you a skilled Project Manager ready to lead innovative technology projects that help solve some of the world's most complex challenges?

At Esri UK, we harness cutting-edge mapping technology and spatial analysis to empower businesses, public sector organisations, universities, and charities to make smarter, data-driven decisions. By joining our Professional Services Team, you'll play a meaningful role in helping these organisations improve society and protect the environment, delivering innovative solutions that make a real difference through the power of geography.

What You'll Do

As a Project Manager, you'll lead multidisciplinary teams to deliver software projects across the full lifecycle - from discovery and design, through to build and deployment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a portfolio of software configuration and development projects, within one of our four specialist domains, Government, Utilities, Defence and Transport/AEC.
• Building strong customer relationships, understanding their business goals, and helping them realise value from Esri technology.
• Tailoring delivery approaches (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) to suit project needs and ensure quality, budget, and timelines are met.
• Manage resources across projects, ensuring effective planning, allocation, and optimisation to support successful delivery.
• Collaborating with solution architects and consultants, fostering high-performing teams and a positive work culture.
• Contributing to business development, supporting proposals, estimates, and strategic account planning.
• Providing strategic oversight and coordination across multiple projects at the programme level, ensuring alignment with organisational goals and customer outcomes.

What We're Looking For

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Have proven project management experience in IT or software delivery (essential).
• Have experience with one or more delivery models (such as Agile, Waterfall and SAFe), and the relevant certification(s).
• Are familiar with cloud platforms, SaaS, COTS, system integration, the software development life cycle and digital transformation projects.
• Are skilled in stakeholder engagement at all levels, with excellent communication and leadership skills.
• Bring strong risk management skills and sound financial acumen to guide successful project outcomes.
• Can evaluate a customer's business goals and strategic objectives, and translate them into compelling proposals supported by detailed delivery plans
• Enjoy solving problems, multitasking, and driving continuous improvement.
• Demonstrate curiosity, a collaborative spirit and a proactive mindset

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, and you don't need prior GIS experience to succeed in this role.
