About Grayce

Grayce specialises in delivering transformation through high‑performing talent. For over a decade, we've partnered with some of the world’s most ambitious organisations, deploying exceptional people who make a real difference.

When you join Grayce, you join a purpose‑driven organisation committed to developing your career and supporting long-term impact across our communities. You’ll collaborate with FTSE100 and FTSE250 clients and have opportunities to get involved in initiatives aligned to our values - from ED&I to sustainability and CSR.

About the Opportunity 

At Grayce, we partner with FTSE 100 and 250 organisations to deliver high‑impact change and transformation programmes. We regularly recruit Project Management professionals at multiple levels to support complex, high‑profile client initiatives across a range of sectors.

This opportunity is for experienced Project Managers who want to be considered for upcoming roles as demand arises. Opportunities vary by client, programme and level, but all offer exposure to meaningful change work in fast‑paced, senior‑stakeholder environments.. 

Our Project Management roles are hands‑on and visible, embedded within major transformation programmes. Depending on the assignment, Project Managers at Grayce may:

  • Track progress across multiple workstreams, ensuring milestones, dependencies and delivery commitments are clearly understood
  • Own RAID management, identifying and escalating risks and issues with clarity and confidence
  • Prepare high‑quality executive packs, papers and progress updates, translating delivery detail into clear insight and recommendations
  • Brief senior and executive stakeholders, providing clear talk tracks, options and next steps
  • Put effective delivery cadence in place, including governance forums, reporting cycles and checkpoints
  • Highlight issues early, play back impacts, and support informed decision‑making
  • Lead on ad‑hoc tasks and priority activities, bringing structure in fast‑moving environments
  • Support the refinement of delivery ways of working, continuously improving approaches, tooling and governance

The exact scope will vary by role and level, but all opportunities require strong ownership, confidence and delivery focus.

What We’re Looking For

We’re interested in hearing from candidates who demonstrate:

  • Proven experience as a Project Manager within complex, fast‑paced change or transformation environments
  • Experience working with senior and executive‑level stakeholders, with confidence presenting, briefing and influencing
  • Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing high‑quality outputs
  • Strong delivery fundamentals, including planning, RAID, governance and progress tracking
  • Outstanding communication skills -clear, structured and pragmatic
  • A confident but humble approach, with the ability to build trust quickly
  • A proactive, ownership‑led mindset and the ability to drive work forward independently
  • Right to work in the UK for the duration of the programme

What You’ll Gain

  • Continuous Development: Access to our Accelerated Development Programme, industry-recognised accreditations and tailored learning pathways to deepen your expertise.
  • Career Progression: Clear advancement routes, ongoing coaching and mentoring to help you grow with confidence.
  • Impactful Work: Deliver change and transformation projects that shape the future for major organisations.
  • Support & Wellbeing: A competitive package, supportive community and a people-first culture designed to help you thrive.
  • Salary (£29,500 – £55,000): We have opportunities available for candidates with varying levels of experience. Your starting salary within the advertised range will be determined based on your relevant experience, performance throughout the interview and assessment process, and the location of the role.
