Step into this Government Project Manager role and build something that matters in Defence & Government.
Government contracts in the defence space don't tolerate sloppy delivery.
A fast-moving technology company, still small enough that everyone's opinion counts, is building tools and services for public sector and defence clients, and needs someone who can run complex projects without needing their hand held.
The work touches national infrastructure.
That raises the stakes, and it raises the standards.
Here's what you'll be doing: Lead end-to-end delivery of government and defence projects, from scoping through to handover Manage budgets, timelines and risk registers across multiple concurrent workstreams Act as the main point of contact for government stakeholders, translating technical detail into plain English for non-technical sponsors Coordinate cross-functional teams, holding engineering, compliance and client-facing staff to the same delivery standard Navigate security clearance requirements, procurement frameworks and public sector governance processes Report progress to senior leadership and flag issues before they become problems Here are the skills you'll need: A proven track record delivering projects in Defence & Government, ideally with experience of public sector procurement Formal project management credentials (PRINCE2, APM or equivalent) backed up by real-world delivery, not just the certificate Comfort working with security clearance protocols and handling sensitive information appropriately Sharp stakeholder management skills.
You'll be in the room with senior government clients and junior engineers in the same week The ability to stay calm when a timeline slips and a plan needs rewriting fast Strong written and verbal communication, because reports to government sponsors need to be precise Key perks and benefits: £64,500 to £84,000, reflecting the seniority this Government Project Manager role demands Hybrid working, split between home and the Guernsey office Equity in a growing company, not just a salary line Flexible hours and a genuine learning and development budget A flat structure where your decisions carry real weight from day one Why pursue a career in Defence & Government?
Defence and government budgets are growing, and that means sustained demand for people who can deliver complex projects properly.
Guernsey's position within this sector is unusual: a smaller market, but one where good project managers get noticed and progress quickly.
Few sectors offer this combination of job security and genuine impact on public infrastructure.
