Project Lead

Project Lead Own a product programme end to end, including the commercials, as a Project Lead for Vax in Droitwich, rebuilding new product development for one of the UK's best-known floor care brands. Four days a week on site, driving delivery rather than tracking a plan. Scope of the Role As a Project Lead at Vax, you will own a new product development programme end to end, from scope and schedule through to commercial delivery.

You will lead across engineering, marketing, operations, quality and suppliers, driving every product to market. Own programme scope, schedule, risk and delivery, measured on products reaching market. Build the plan and drive progress, rather than maintaining someone else's Gantt chart.

Lead engineering, marketing, operations, quality and suppliers to one aligned plan. Own the commercials, cost, margin and the business case, not just the timeline. Force trade-off decisions and remove barriers to keep momentum up.

Key Skills and Experience Required A designer or engineer background in hardware or physical product development, now leading delivery as a Project Lead, Programme Manager or Product Development Manager. Evidence of shipping physical products from concept to launch, not just managing a plan. Proven experience organising and planning across cross functional teams.

Proven commercial understanding of cost, margin and business case, not only schedule. An outgoing, confident communicator comfortable driving decisions with senior stakeholders. Vax is one of the best-known floor care names in the UK, now backed by TTI, the global group behind Milwaukee and Ryobi.

As a Project Lead here, you join a new product development function being rebuilt from the ground up in Droitwich, including wet and water systems that used to sit in the US. The culture is shifting toward fast, curiosity-led design, build, test working. You will be hands-on, proving ideas quickly rather than waiting for a perfect brief.
