Ref: 131REC 

Full time - 37.5 hours per week – we are happy to talk flexible working 

Base: Hybrid with commutable distance to the Leeds, Manchester or Newcastle Hub 

Contract: Permanent 

Disclosure: Basic/Enhanced/ DBS is not required for this position as the post holder will not be working with school and community groups in the region. 

ABOUT THE ROLE 

Team: Delivery/ NCN 

As the Senior Project Manager, you will lead the planning, delivery and evaluation of large and complex infrastructure projects. These projects will support the organisation’s active travel goals and help create long‑term, sustainable benefits for communities. 

You will be responsible for making sure projects are well planned and delivered to a high standard. This includes managing time, budgets and people effectively, identifying and addressing risks early, and ensuring that all work meets legal, safety and policy requirements. 

A key part of the role is working closely with others. You will collaborate with partners and stakeholders, build positive working relationships, develop business development proposals with a range of colleagues, and support meaningful engagement with local communities so that their needs and feedback are considered throughout the project. 

This role requires a high level of experience in project management, leadership and strategic thinking. You will be expected to make clear decisions, provide direction and support to others, and focus on delivering projects that have a positive and lasting impact. 

What You’ll Be Doing 

  • Oversee the planning, delivery and evaluation of walking, wheeling and cycling projects
  • Manage resources, compliance and alignment with organisational goals
  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders to support effective active travel projects
  • Lead, line manage and support a team to maximise performance and development
  • Collaborating with Growth & Partnerships and Business Development colleagues to spot opportunities, develop compelling concepts and win new work that broadens our funding base. 

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys 

  • Seeing tangible impact in communities – your projects will move all the way through the project lifecycle from concept design to on the ground delivery, directly shaping how people move around towns and cities. 
  • Working collaboratively with a wide mix of people – success in the role relies on engaging with internal multi-disciplinary teams, as well as a range of external stakeholders across councils, housing developers, members of the public and many more. 
  • Identifying and winning opportunities – suits someone who thrives on recognising gaps, shaping compelling proposals and developing partnerships that lead to meaningful, mission‑driven work.
  • Guiding and developing others – you’ll lead a team, provide clarity and encouragement, and help individuals build confidence and ownership in their own development.
  • Balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery. The role requires long term planning and day to day oversight of projects and colleagues. Someone who likes switching between big picture direction and fast paced problem solving will feel at home.

  • ⁠Degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject plus 4 years’ experience, or 7 years’ experience in a related role
  • Strong knowledge of active travel infrastructure, including spatial and transport planning
  • Proven experience in project and programme management, including budgets and risk
  • Experience leading, supervising and supporting teams to deliver projects on time and to budget
  • The ability to work in a way that promotes the safety and wellbeing of children, young people and adults at risk.
  • Experience in developing project proposals and securing work from a range of funders.
