Project Manager

About Us

Join us and work with some of the world's most ambitious businesses to embed data & AI literacy at scale. At Data & AI Literacy Academy, we transform how people connect with data, making it accessible, relevant and empowering for every enterprise employee. Joining Data & AI Literacy Academy means being part of a mission-led team helping individuals and organisations unlock their potential through confidence, culture and clarity.

About the Role

As a Project Manager, you will play a key role in the successful delivery of our data & AI literacy programmes for enterprise clients. You'll own the end-to-end delivery plan for your portfolio of accounts, coordinating timelines, stakeholders and resources to make sure every programme lands on time, on budget, and to the standard our clients expect.

Working closely with our Customer Account Executives, Learner Success team, and Communications team, you'll be the operational backbone that turns a signed contract into a smoothly run, high-impact learning experience. You'll manage risk proactively, keep clients informed at every stage, and continuously look for ways to improve how we deliver.

What You'll Do

• Own and manage delivery plans for a portfolio of client programmes, from kick-off through to completion
• Build and maintain project schedules, tracking milestones, dependencies and risks
• Act as the primary delivery point of contact for clients, providing regular updates and managing expectations
• Coordinate internal resources, including the Communications team and Learner Success, to ensure timely delivery
• Identify and manage project risks, escalating and resolving issues before they impact outcomes
• Maintain accurate programme documentation, trackers and reporting
• Support continuous improvement of delivery processes and playbooks
• Contribute to a positive client experience that supports renewal and expansion opportunities

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in project or programme management, ideally in a client-facing or professional services environment
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects
• Excellent communication skills, comfortable working with senior stakeholders
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach to problem-solving
• Experience with project management tools and structured delivery frameworks
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where you can take ownership and grow quickly

You'll Thrive in This Role If You've…

• Run end-to-end delivery for multiple client programmes at once, from kick-off through to completion
• Kept a project on track by managing milestones, dependencies and risk before they become client-facing issues
• Communicated confidently with senior stakeholders, the kind of updates that keep clients informed without over-promising
• Coordinated across teams (comms, learner success, or similar) to keep delivery moving without needing to chase people
• Looked for ways to improve a process or playbook rather than just running the one you were handed

Why Join Us?

• Join a collaborative team that values rigour, clear communication and continuous improvement
• Own real client portfolios from day one, with the autonomy to shape how delivery runs, not just execute someone else's plan
• Fully hybrid working model, with one two-day onsite session per month in Birmingham
• Work in a fast-paced, evolving environment where you can grow quickly and take on more scope as you prove yourself
