Senior Project Manager

We’re building the UK's next generation engineering powerhouse, providing critical technology that strengthens national security and resilience. 
 
We specialise in turning advances in sensing, AI, and communications into operational capability for the edge, where connectivity may be degraded or denied. Our work focuses on accelerating the deployment of technology, improving decision-making for frontline teams, and protecting people and critical assets in demanding environments. 
 
Headquartered in Bristol, Rowden employs around 200 people and operates over 20,000 square feet of engineering and manufacturing facilities. We have a growing international footprint and are one of Europe’s fastest-growing engineering businesses.  

The role

We are seeking an experienced, delivery-focused Project/Programme Manager to play a pivotal role in the leadership, delivery, and governance of a complex systems integration programme. This role requires an individual who is highly self-directed, exceptionally proactive, and comfortable operating at pace in a dynamic and complex stakeholder environment. 

This role is for a delivery-focused project/programme leader who thrives in complexity and ambiguity. This role is not for someone who requires tightly defined tasks or close direction to operate effectively. 

You’ll be joining a high-impact team working with passionate colleagues to deliver a step change in capability for our customer. The role offers the chance to see the direct impact of your work, collaborating closely with end users to solve real problems.

Candidates must be eligible for SC clearance.

Salary

For senior roles, compensation is tailored to the scope of the role and the specific experience a candidate brings. Because that can vary significantly, we do not always publish a fixed salary band. We will, however, discuss compensation openly at the first stage of the process and can share an indicative range before either side invests significant time.
