Project Manager

We're looking for a Project Manager in Bristol who thrives on clarity, collaboration, and getting things done — properly.

This is a key role in our business change strategy, supporting the firm's goals for service delivery and profitability through smart, well-executed projects. You'll bring structure and consistency to the way we plan, deliver and improve, all while working closely with stakeholders across the business.

About the Opportunity

We're looking for a Project Manager to play a central role in delivering key initiatives that support our firm's long-term goals for service delivery and profitability. This role sits at the heart of our business change strategy, helping us implement improvements that are well-planned, well-managed, and make a tangible difference.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across the firm — from project teams to senior leadership — to shape, plan and deliver projects from start to finish. That means defining scope, setting expectations, managing risks, handling budgets, and making sure everything stays on track. You'll also play a key part in supplier management, onboarding, and compliance with our internal standards.

This is a hands-on role where your ability to manage complexity, communicate clearly, and lead with confidence will be essential. It's a great opportunity to make a visible impact in a collaborative, professional environment where your work will be recognised and valued.

About You

You're an experienced project manager with a strong background in legal or commercial environments and a confident, structured approach to delivery. You understand how to guide projects from early discussions through to sign-off, and you're comfortable using planning tools to coordinate tasks, resources and deadlines.

Communication is one of your strengths — whether you're presenting to senior stakeholders, running team meetings, or writing clear updates. You know how to influence decisions, handle objections and keep people engaged. Delegating effectively comes naturally to you, but you also keep a close eye on progress and quality throughout.

You're someone who stays calm under pressure, solves problems with a clear head, and takes pride in delivering work that's well thought through and professionally executed. You have strong IT skills, a good understanding of service delivery in professional services, and a pragmatic, user-focused mindset.

Most of all, you care about doing things well — not just finishing the job, but improving how it's done. You're motivated by making a difference, by seeing projects through successfully, and by working with people who value the same.

About Us

There are so many reasons to stop and explore VWV further.  We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration are key.  There's no pigeon-holing or glass ceilings here, just a professional yet relaxed culture where you can finally be yourself.  We invite you to watch this short video on the right-hand side to see what our own people have to say about us.
