About The Position

The Senior Project Manager strengthens the core of Greenpark’s EMEA Delivery team. You will run client projects end to end, but the role is equally about the operational backbone of Delivery: accurate resourcing, reliable revenue forecasting, and trusted project data. You will be a safe pair of hands on major accounts, a source of resilience and coverage across the Delivery team, and a visible adopter of AI-enabled ways of working as we embed AI across the agency. This role is UK-based.
