Project Manager

We're looking for an experienced and motivated IT Project Manager to join our Strategic Projects Team at an exciting time for VWV. This is a great opportunity to work at the heart of the firm, delivering projects that genuinely shape how we operate and how we support our clients.

If you enjoy bringing structure to complex challenges, working with a wide range of stakeholders, and seeing projects through from early idea to successful delivery, this role offers plenty of scope to make a real impact.

About the Opportunity

We're looking for a Project Manager to play a central role in delivering key IT projects for the firm including ERP/PMS and client on-boarding initiatives.

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 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 IT 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.

Where Will I Be Working?

At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture that we hold dear. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really shapes our culture.

Whilst we work to a hybrid model, for this role we would like you to work from our Bristol office for a minimum of one day per week. In this way, you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture as well as facilitate cross referral opportunities from your colleagues in other teams. We are of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.

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.

We're striving to be an inclusive employer, to create a workplace and environment that promotes and values diversity, where everyone, regardless of background, can reach their full potential. Contact our recruiter to discuss any adjustments needed so we can make this the best possible candidate experience for you.
