Job Summary

About the role

We're looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Technical Project Manager with a strong focus on digital transformation. In this role, you'll lead the planning, delivery, and implementation of technology-driven projects that are central to our digital transformation programme. If you have a passion for using new technology solutions to improve systems, processes, and experiences, this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact.

You'll bring substantial technical expertise with a broad and well-rounded understanding of digital technologies rather than a deep specialisation in any single area. Combining strong technical insight with proven project management experience, you'll understand how different systems, platforms, and solutions fit together to deliver strategic outcomes. You will be experienced in translating complex requirements into practical, deliverable solutions. You'll have hands-on experience with a range of modern technologies that might include automation, business intelligence, cloud platforms, AI, and systems integration. You will also be confident assessing new and emerging tools for their potential value.

Your depth of knowledge in technology will allow you to engage confidently with technical specialists, suppliers, and non-technical stakeholders alike. With an eye on the detail, you will also keep sight of the bigger picture, ensuring every project aligns with organisational goals and supports long-term digital growth.

You'll manage a portfolio of digital projects from concept to completion, applying recognised project management methodologies to ensure delivery on time, on budget, and to specification. This role sits at the intersection of technology and change management, therefore you'll work closely with internal teams and external partners, managing suppliers, guiding technical delivery, and engaging stakeholders at all levels to drive digital innovation across the organisation.

From exploring new tools and platforms to overseeing their successful implementation, you'll ensure each project contributes meaningfully to our wider transformation goals, enhancing both how we work and how visitors experience what we offer.

The closing date for completed applications is 12 noon on Thursday, 23 October 2025.
