🌳 Senior Project Manager | Counter Fraud & Compliance | Manchester | Up to £435/day

Having placed 3 contractors with this client already, the feedback has been consistently excellent — a supportive team and a company people actually enjoy being part of.

This isn't a role where you inherit someone else's plan. You start with a blank page — and you build something that protects public money at scale.

We're hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead delivery on a high-stakes Counter Fraud, Compliance & Debt programme for a major public sector department. It's complex, it's high-profile, and it needs someone who thrives on exactly that.

Why this role is different:

🌲 Genuine autonomy — you shape the solution, not just execute someone else's

🌲 Work at the centre of a wide, high-calibre stakeholder network

🌲 A programme with real national significance — counter fraud, not busywork

What you'll be doing:

🌲 Leading CFCD work programme items from concept to delivery

🌲 Owning solution design, access requirements, and complex network engagement

🌲 Engaging senior stakeholders across Architecture, Security, Networks, Commercials, Finance, Digital Workplace Tech, other government departments, and law enforcement

🌲 Running multiple complex, concurrent projects without missing a beat

🌲 Spotting risk early and acting on it before it becomes a problem

🌲 Bringing sharp procurement, commercial and supplier management skills to the table

The essentials:

🌿 £435/day Inside IR35

🌿 Candidates must be SC eligible — this is non-negotiable for the role.

🌿 Manchester

🌿 Central Government / Public Sector
