We drive cross-sector collaboration, working with private companies and public institutions to bring social enterprises into their supply chains, helping any organisation to create positive social and environmental impact.

The Role

This role will provide support across SEUK, enhancing our delivery capacity at a time when we are implementing a new strategy. The Project Manager will own end-to-end delivery of projects and events run by SEUK, including coordinating activities relating to contracts SEUK has won, flagship annual events and smaller partner and stakeholder convenings.

This is a role for someone who is as comfortable building a detailed project plan as they are in connecting with stakeholders and partners. You will be both a planner and a doer, working across teams, managing external partners, and delivering events that elevate SEUK’s impactful work.
