JOB PROFILE

What?

To lead and manage client delivery through a structured, project-led approach, guiding clients on a journey using our expertise in Research & Development Tax and related services to accelerate innovation.

This role sits at the centre of client delivery, ensuring that projects are planned, executed, and delivered to a high standard, on time and in line with RDA’s methodology.

There is real breadth and variety—our clients span diverse industries, meaning no two projects are the same. You will bring structure, clarity and momentum to each engagement, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience.

Why?

At RDA, we help develop a better economy by enhancing our clients' innovation through a unique advisory approach.

We are a thought leader in our market, built on trusted relationships and a commitment to doing things differently. Our goal is to improve the working lives of our people, our clients, and the end customers who benefit from increased innovation.

How? (RDA Values)

Knowledge
We bring deep expertise and understand how to apply it to each client, positioning them for success with HMRC and key stakeholders.

Excellence
We deliver a structured, professional process. We are prepared, proactive and communicate clearly at every stage.

Accountability
We take ownership—for our clients, our projects, and our outcomes.

Teamwork
We collaborate internally and externally to deliver the best results, building trust along the way.

About You

You are highly organised, detail-focused and delivery-driven, with a strong project management mindset.

You thrive in fast-paced environments, managing multiple projects simultaneously, and bringing structure and clarity to complex client engagements.

You are comfortable owning timelines, managing stakeholders, and driving progress -ensuring nothing slips and expectations are consistently met or exceeded.

You will have experience in:

Client delivery, project or programme management
Managing multiple concurrent projects with competing deadlines
Working with senior stakeholders across different businesses
Bringing structure, planning and accountability to delivery

You are analytical and solutions-focused, with the ability to work autonomously while maintaining alignment with wider business objectives.

Whilst prior experience in R&D Tax is beneficial, it is not essential -what matters is your ability to manage delivery, build relationships and learn quickly.

The Role

This is a client-facing project management role responsible for owning the end-to-end delivery of RDA engagements across a portfolio of clients.

You will act as the central point of coordination—bringing together clients, internal teams and data to deliver high-quality outcomes.

You Will…

Project & Delivery Management

Take full ownership of client projects from initiation through to completion
Build and manage clear project plans, timelines and milestones across a portfolio of clients
Drive delivery against deadlines, ensuring all stages are completed efficiently and to a high standard
Monitor project progress, identify risks early and take proactive action to keep delivery on track
Ensure consistency in delivery approach aligned to RDA processes and standards

Client & Stakeholder Management

Act as the primary point of contact for clients throughout the project lifecycle
Build strong, trusted relationships with clients and introducers
Manage and coordinate multiple stakeholders across different sites and functions
Confidently engage at senior level, guiding clients through the process and managing expectations

Data & Process Management

Lead the collection, organisation and validation of client data in line with RDA requirements
Ensure all information is captured accurately, efficiently and within agreed timeframes
Maintain structure and control across multiple workstreams and client engagements

Technical Development

Develop a strong understanding of R&D Tax Credits legislation and its practical application
Build knowledge across a range of sectors including technology, construction and engineering
Work closely with internal specialists (Directors, QA, Accounts, Business Development) to deliver high-quality outputs

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

Work cross-functionally to support smooth delivery across the business
Identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and client experience
Contribute to the ongoing growth and development of the Operations Team

Networking and Travel

Travel to client sites across the UK as required (including occasional overnight stays)
Attend client meetings, networking events and RDA-sponsored activities
Represent RDA at events, including occasional weekend commitments (e.g. motorsport events)

Pay: £40,000.00-£50,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Casual dress
Company events
Company pension
Free parking
Private medical insurance
Relocation assistance

Work Location: In person
