Assistant Project Manager

MCS is partnering with a leading Public Body that is currently expanding its project delivery capabilities. Following a recent review of their operational needs, they are seeking a hands-on, organised individual to join their team as an Assistant Project Manager.

• Project Focus: Strong project management skills, including planning, delivery, and evaluation.
  
• Strategic Mindset: Experience in drafting budgets, procurement, or implementing operational plans is highly desirable.
  

Your Responsibilities:

• IT & Service Delivery: Managing external IT support contracts, overseeing internal help desk queries, and leading IT improvement projects.
• Budget & Resource Management: Setting and overseeing project budgets, tracking spending, and preparing business cases for new purchases.
• Partnership & Negotiation: Building relationships with partners, negotiating service agreements, and monitoring performance to ensure expectations are met.
• Strategic Support: Assisting the Director with the development of the organisation's strategy, operational plans, and performance measures.

Why This Role? This organisation is in a key phase of development, offering a genuine path for professional growth. You will be encouraged to keep your management skills current and stay informed about the latest industry developments.
