Project Manager (Mat cover)

Are you an experienced project manager with a passion for the environment? Our client is an independent not-for-profit organisation on a mission to stop electricals being hoarded and thrown away, and ensure they’re reused and recycled instead.

Prospectus are delighted to be searching for this broad and varied role which contributes to the vision of the organisation where materials are never wasted.  As Project Manager you will bring your expertise in project management to help plan and successfully deliver a variety of initiatives.

In this maternity cover role, you will manage the Senior Projects Coordinator and oversee the ‘Investments’ programme, which funds projects aimed at making it easier for the public to recycle electrical items. You will also be responsible for delivering key projects from the organisational ‘People Plan’ and for overseeing processes to support the organisation’s internal operations.

Additionally, you will support the Executive Director in engaging with the Board, Spending Panel, and other key stakeholders to ensure the smooth running of the organisation.

Experience in the environmental sector isn’t required, but this role is ideal for someone passionate about creating a positive impact on the planet and driven to make a meaningful difference through their work. The successful applicant will be highly organised and used to working in a fast-paced environment.  You will also have demonstrable project management experience, experience of people management and excellent communication skills.
