About the role

Project Manager – National Security

Location: Cheltenham
Day Rate: £500-700 DOE
Clearance: Active eDV required
Working: Flexible / hybrid

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to join a small, agile technology business delivering mission-critical projects across National Security.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to step away from the layers of bureaucracy and red tape you can often find in larger organisations, and join a business where you can genuinely make an impact.

You’ll work alongside highly talented technical and delivery teams, taking ownership of complex projects and having the freedom to shape how things are delivered.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience delivering complex technology or transformation projects

  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

  • Experience working across Agile, Waterfall or hybrid delivery environments

  • Ability to take ownership and operate with a high degree of autonomy

  • Experience within National Security, Defence or similarly complex environments

  • Active eDV clearance is essential

Why Join?

This is a business where progression isn’t limited by rigid structures or lengthy promotion cycles. With a small, growing team, there is plenty of scope to take on greater responsibility, develop your career and make your mark.

You’ll also benefit from:

  • Salary up to £80,000 DOE

  • Flexible working

  • Excellent benefits package

  • A highly talented and collaborative team

  • Significant autonomy and ownership

  • Less bureaucracy and red tape

  • Clear opportunities for progression as the business grows

  • The opportunity to work on genuinely mission-critical National Security programmes

If you’re an eDV-cleared Project Manager looking for a smaller, more agile environment where you can have a real impact, this could be a great next move. Apply below or reach out direct!
