Junior Digital Project Manager

As a Junior Digital Project Manager, you will support the delivery of digital projects from concept through to completion, helping to ensure everything runs smoothly, stays on track, and meets client expectations.

You’ll work closely with senior team members, developers, and stakeholders to coordinate tasks, track progress, and identify potential risks or blockers early. This is a hands-on role where you’ll build your experience in managing projects while contributing to structured, efficient delivery.

You’ll play an important role in keeping projects organised, maintaining clear communication, and helping to bring clarity to fast-paced and sometimes complex environments.
