Overview of the role

Phoenix is a leading UK IT solutions and managed service provider, with a deep specialism in the public sector. We work with organisations across government, healthcare, defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charity sector - helping them modernise with confidence across cloud, data and AI, cyber security, and managed services.

Through strategic partnerships with the world's leading technology providers - and a trusted place on the major public sector frameworks - our work has a direct impact on the services that millions of people rely on every day.

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of projects and managed services across a portfolio of customers.

• Act as the primary point of contact for both customers and internal stakeholders, building strong relationships and delivering a high-quality service.

• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, resource forecasts and delivery roadmaps.

• Manage project risks, issues, dependencies and change requests to ensure successful outcomes.

• Coordinate consultant resources and monitor project progress, costs and utilisation.

• Lead customer meetings, service reviews and project governance activities.

• Produce clear and concise project reporting for customers and senior stakeholders.

• Support service improvement initiatives, new service offerings and bid activities.

• Take ownership of escalated or at-risk projects, driving resolution and recovery.
