Senior Project Manager – Quant Research

Tired of London commuting? Join a collaborative and close-knit ops team just outside the city, where you’ll have the chance to lead global research projects, manage junior team members, and actually enjoy being in the office again (twice a week – with flexible working the rest of the time).

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager with solid online quantitative fieldwork experience, strong attention to detail, and the ability to keep multiple plates spinning at once. This isn’t a coordinator role — we need someone hands-on and ready to lead.

• Line manage 1–2 junior team members (Project executive level).
• Troubleshoot, check survey scripts, and ensure projects meet high ethical and compliance standards.
• Support proposal costings and continuous improvements to project delivery.

Must-haves:

• Strong background in fieldwork operations for online quant research.
• Project management confidence – you’ll be both a doer and a leader.
• Experience with stakeholder management and internal team briefings.
• Line management or supervisory experience.

You’ll fit right in if you’re:

• Detail-driven, proactive, collaborative, and calm under pressure. Someone who thrives on structure but brings fresh ideas.

Why this role?

• Hybrid working: 2 days in the office (Wednesdays + one of your choice), up to 3 days remote
• Friendly and experienced team of 9 in Ops – small enough to make a big impact
• Great location near Newbury station with gated parking available

• Salary £33–38k DOE
• Up to 10% performance bonus
• 25 days holiday (+ bank hols), rising with service

Start date: ASAP (but flexible for the right person)
