Director Project Management

1 day ago

Manchester, New Hampshire, United Kingdom Vertical Recruitment Full time £60,000 - £90,000 per year

We're supporting a highly respected Project Management consultancy in the search for their next Director/Project Manager. This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role within a firm recognised for delivering high-profile, high-impact and visionary large-scale projects across multiple sectors.

Their portfolio is ambitious, design-led, and technically sophisticated-projects delivered with precision, creativity and strategic insight. This is a chance to lead truly unique, one-off schemes and build an exceptionally impressive body of work.

The culture is equally standout: the team is innovative, detail-oriented, commercially aware and creatively driven. The right candidate will bring high emotional intelligence, exceptional interpersonal skills and a people-first leadership style to complement this environment.

The Role

As Director of Projects, you'll be responsible for:

  • Leading and developing a team of Project Managers-from assistants through to Project Director level-driving excellence and mentoring future leaders.
  • Overseeing complex, multi-sector projects with high visibility and strategic importance. While experience in entertainment, leisure or large public venues is advantageous, strong multi-sector expertise and comfort with ambitious, high-impact projects is what truly matters.
  • Providing deep contracts expertise, particularly in JCT and NEC, supporting junior team members and ensuring robust governance.
  • Driving business growth through strategic thinking, commercial acumen and proactive client engagement.
  • Setting the tone for culture and leadership, fostering a collaborative, motivated and high-performing team at a pivotal stage of the company's evolution.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience managing multi-disciplinary project teams.
  • A strong track record of delivering large-scale, complex projects confidently and effectively.
  • Excellent knowledge of JCT and NEC contracts, with the ability to guide and upskill others.
  • Natural business development flair and a strategic mindset.
  • High emotional intelligence and a people-centred leadership style.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Lead an ambitious, talented team within a consultancy known for design excellence and technical rigour.
  • Work across a diverse range of high-profile, sector-spanning projects, not confined to any one area.
  • Competitive salary, package and wider benefits.
  • Step into a key leadership role at a defining moment in the company's growth.

Opportunities like this don't come up often. If you're seeking a senior position where you can influence the direction of a consultancy and create lasting impact, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
