About the opportunity
Due to increased demand, we’re building a pipeline for passionate and delivery focused Project Management professionals at all levels who are interested in joining our growing team.
We are looking for Project Managers who can keep complex, mission-critical national security projects moving - on time, on budget, and to the standard our customers deserve. This is a hands-on role, to coordinate delivery, manage stakeholders, and address problems before they slow progress.
Rowden is built on a track record of delivering some of the most complex systems integration programmes in our sector. That record rests on clear standards: a relentless focus on user experience and outcomes, a commitment to delivery at pace, and trust earned through consistency and transparency.
Our customers operate in high-consequence environments, so reliability, pace, and clarity are essential. You’ll ensure they experience all three through disciplined planning, transparent communication, and the ability to adapt when the situation changes.
You can register your interest by applying to this advert, and when a suitable vacancy opens, we’ll get in contact with you.
Candidates must be eligible for SC clearance.
