Project Manager

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is the official UK government body responsible for intellectual property (IP) rights including patents, designs, trademarks, and copyright. We operate and maintain a clear and accessible IP system in the UK, which encourages innovation and helps the economy and society to benefit from knowledge and ideas. We help people get the right type of protection for their creation or invention. Delivering the best IP services to our customers is central to the IPO strategy and we are building on our strengths in rights granting and related services to improve our digital service offering and data.

This role sits within the Portfolio Management Office (PMO) in the Strategy Directorate and offers an exciting opportunity to lead the delivery of projects that directly support IPO strategic objectives and corporate priorities. As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for leading the delivery of a diverse range of business change and digital transformation projects, working with multidisciplinary teams across technology, operations and policy functions. This includes delivering projects through the full lifecycle, from initiation and planning through to implementation, transition and closure.

You will be accountable for ensuring projects are delivered to agreed scope, time, cost and quality parameters, whilst effectively managing risks, issues, dependencies and resources. The role requires strong leadership, stakeholder engagement and governance skills, with the ability to work confidently with senior leaders, technical specialists and business stakeholders to drive successful outcomes .

Working Style

This role will be carried out in-line with IPO Hybrid working arrangements where staff are currently expected to spend at least 40% of their time working onsite from one of our offices. This role is based in our Newport Office.

Building and maintaining effective relationships with stakeholders at all levels, influencing decisions and ensuring alignment to project objectives and organisational priorities.
Producing high-quality project reporting and governance documentation, providing clear insights on progress, delivery confidence, dependencies and key decisions.
Ensuring projects comply with organisational governance, delivery frameworks and the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) where applicable.
Supporting project boards and governance forums by preparing information that enables effective oversight and informed decision-making.
Collaborating with resource owners and delivery teams to identify resource requirements, manage delivery constraints and support successful project delivery.
Supporting planning, testing, assurance and implementation activities to ensure solutions are delivered and transitioned successfully into business operations.
