Job Description
Lead the projects that actually matter.
At ATS, we don’t run projects for the sake of governance decks.
We deliver large, complex, strategic programmes for customers who depend on precision, accountability and results.
We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager who doesn’t just manage timelines — but leads outcomes.
The Role
As a Senior Project Manager, you will take full ownership of large strategic customer projects - from initial planning through execution, delivery, and post-implementation support.
You will operate at a senior stakeholder level, manage financial performance, lead and mentor project managers within your team, and work closely with the Programme Manager to support structured weekly and monthly reporting.
This role is about more than delivery.
It’s about leadership, influence and commercial accountability.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Delivering Large, Complex Strategic Projects
You will lead the end-to-end delivery of major customer initiatives - ensuring:
milestones are met,
budgets are controlled,
risks are mitigated,
and quality is never compromised.
Senior Stakeholder Management
You’ll build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, aligning delivery with business objectives and navigating competing priorities with confidence.
Financial & Commercial Ownership
Budget ownership
Forecasting & cost tracking
Financial reporting
Cost control & optimisation
You understand that successful delivery is both operational and financial.
Risk & Issue Management
You proactively identify risk early, build mitigation strategies, and manage complexity with calm, structured thinking.
Team Leadership & Line Management
You won’t just run projects - you will develop people.
You will:
Conduct regular 1:1s
Lead mid-year and annual performance reviews
Create progression and development plans
Provide constructive feedback
Manage capacity and holiday planning
Build a high-performing, accountable team culture
Programme Reporting
You will prepare and present clear, executive-level reporting to programme boards and senior management - ensuring transparency, clarity and decisive action.
What Success Looks Like
You communicate with clarity and authority.
You influence without ego.
You present with confidence.
You solve problems without drama.
Specifically:
Exceptional presentation and communication skills
Proven leadership of high-performing teams
Strong influencing capability across diverse stakeholder groups
Ownership mindset - you take accountability for outcomes
Structured financial management capability
Demonstrable track record delivering complex projects successfully
You’ve done this before. And you’re ready to do it at scale.
Why ATS?
We are proud to have been certified as a Great Place to Work® in 2023 and 2024.
But what that really means is:
We invest in our people.
We care about development.
We expect high performance - and support it properly.
We build long-term careers, not short-term roles.
Our people feel valued, engaged and empowered - and that translates directly into the outcomes we deliver for our customers.

Hybrid working (many roles hybrid or fully remote)
23 days annual leave, increasing annually to 28 days by year 5, plus bank holidays
