  Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Comic Relief we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

PURPOSE OF JOB:

This Project Manager will join the Business Services team at an exciting time as we launch new projects to improve our ways of working across the organisation. A number of key cross organisational strategic projects have been identified to enable Comic Relief to deliver against its five year strategy.
As Project Manager you will be responsible for ensuring the overarching planning, management and coordination of projects. The majority of projects will be related to Comic Relief’s programme of strategic projects but could also include supporting other projects that are driving organisational priorities or change within the organisation. The role will work with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure planning processes, project governance and reporting is developed and embedded into all activities.
The successful candidate will also support the development of Comic Relief’s approach to Project Management, providing expertise and modelling project management best practices.
