12-month fixed-term maternity cover | Expected start: September 2026
ROLE DESCRIPTION
Imparta
Imparta is a global leader in performance improvement for Sales, CX and Leadership. Our research-based methodologies, expert consultants and trainers, and digital and AI-enabled platforms help organisations assess, develop, coach, practise and continuously improve capabilities at global scale.
Our technology portfolio includes digital learning platforms and i-Coach® AI, our agentic AI solution providing personalised assessment, learning, coaching and task support.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Product Project Manager to join Imparta on a 12-month maternity cover contract within our Platforms & AI function.
This is primarily a project management role embedded within a digital product and technology environment.
You will be responsible for coordinating and driving delivery across multiple digital platform, product and AI-related projects and workstreams. Working closely with Product, Software Development, QA, Project Management, Client Operations and Delivery, you will ensure that plans, deliverables, timelines, dependencies, risks and stakeholder actions are clearly managed and coordinated.
You will bring structure and visibility across a portfolio of concurrent initiatives, ensuring teams remain aligned and that projects move effectively from planning and development through testing, release and adoption.
Alongside project delivery, you will support the operational processes and ways of working that enable Imparta’s digital platforms to run effectively and scale successfully.
The role will be particularly important as Imparta continues to evolve its digital platform and AI capabilities, including i-Coach AI.

- Facilitate regular project meetings, workstream reviews and delivery check-ins, ensuring clear actions and follow-through.
- Provide clear and concise project status reporting to stakeholders and senior leadership.
- Ensure decisions, actions and changes are appropriately documented and communicated.
- Support prioritisation discussions by providing clear visibility of project dependencies, delivery risks and capacity constraints.
- Help establish effective project governance and ways of working across the Platforms & AI portfolio.
Product Delivery & Release Coordination
- Work closely with Product and Software Development teams to support the successful delivery of product roadmap initiatives.

- Ensure client and user setup workflows remain accurate, consistent and well understood.
- Understand key dependencies across platform components including assessments, dashboards, content, data and AI integrations.

- Identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce errors and minimise reliance on individual knowledge.

- Ability to identify and manage dependencies between projects, systems and stakeholders.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to bring clarity and structure to complex or ambiguous environments.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including confidence working with senior stakeholders.
- Ability to understand digital workflows and technical dependencies without needing to be deeply technical.
- Strong attention to detail while maintaining visibility of the wider delivery picture.
- Proactive, pragmatic and comfortable taking ownership.
Desirable Experience
- Experience within SaaS, EdTech, digital learning or another digital platform environment.
- Experience working with AI-enabled products or AI-related initiatives.
- Experience coordinating UAT, regression testing, product releases or launch activity.
- Experience supporting product or platform operations and process improvement.
