Job summary

Shape the Future of England and Wales Through Data That Matters

At the Office for National Statistics (ONS), our work helps shape decisions that impact millions of lives. We are looking for talented project professionals to join us in one of two exciting and high-profile roles, both offering the opportunity to lead nationally significant programmes that support the production of trusted official statistics.

Whether you are inspired by delivering one of the UK's largest data collection exercises or leading the implementation of a major international classification standard, these roles offer the chance to work at the forefront of public service, collaborate with experts across multiple disciplines, and make a lasting impact on how data is collected, analysed and used to inform decisions across government and society.

Job description

Role 1: Project Manager Census 2031

Join one of the UK's most significant public programmes and help shape the future of England and Wales. Census 2031 is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to deliver a national data collection operation that informs policy decisions, public services, funding allocations and community planning for years to come.

As a Project Manager, you'll play a key role in delivering complex projects across a large and diverse programme, working with a wide range of stakeholders, partners and specialists. You'll help drive innovative approaches to ensuring every household and community is represented, contributing to a project that impacts every person across England and Wales. This is a unique opportunity to build your project delivery career on a high-profile national programme, influence key decisions and be part of a collaborative team tackling some of the most interesting and complex delivery challenges in government.

Role 2: Project Manager Life Events Transformation

Take the lead on a major transformation project that will modernise how cause of death statistics are produced across England and Wales. Working within the Population Statistics Directorate, you'll manage the implementation of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), the latest international standard for classifying causes of death, supporting the future of world-leading mortality statistics.

As Project Manager, you'll coordinate multiple interconnected workstreams, bringing together operational, digital and analytical teams to deliver this complex, multi-year project. You'll be responsible for ensuring effective governance, managing delivery against key milestones and maintaining momentum across a project of national and international significance. This is an excellent opportunity to drive meaningful change, develop expertise in large-scale transformation delivery and contribute to statistics that support critical public health research, policy development and decision-making across the UK.

Role 3 : Project Manager - Population Statistics Research to Support Census 2031

Join a busy directorate delivering transformation projects while helping teams embed a culture of continuous improvement in the development of population statistics. Our work supports the estimation of the size, geographic distribution and characteristics of the population, providing vital evidence for policy development, public service planning and decision-making across the UK.

As a Project Manager, you will work with a diverse range of stakeholders, coordinating activities across multiple workstreams to ensure successful delivery. You will be responsible for applying appropriate project management methodologies, developing and maintaining project plans, and implementing effective controls to monitor progress against key milestones. You will lead project governance activities, manage risks, issues and dependencies, and provide clear reporting to support informed decision-making and ensure that project objectives are clearly defined and delivered within agreed timescales, budgets and quality standards.

This is a unique opportunity to develop your project delivery career while contributing to innovative research and development activities that will help shape the future of population statistics and support preparations for Census 2031.

The role

As a Project Manager, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of projects, ensuring they are effectively planned, governed and delivered to achieve agreed objectives within time, cost and quality expectations. Working closely with a range of stakeholders, you will provide leadership, direction and coordination to project teams, helping to drive progress, manage risks and resolve issues as they arise.

You will play a key role in project governance, maintaining robust reporting and assurance arrangements while building strong relationships across teams and disciplines. By ensuring project outputs are delivered successfully, you will support the realisation of strategic benefits and contribute to ONS's wider organisational objectives.

Our Project Managers work across a diverse portfolio of initiatives, supporting the delivery of projects and programmes that help shape the future of official statistics and public services. Assignments vary considerably in size, scope and complexity, providing opportunities to work on both targeted improvements and large-scale transformational change.

Depending on the project, you may be responsible for managing work with a high degree of certainty and clearly defined stakeholder groups, or navigating complex environments involving multiple workstreams, competing priorities, technical challenges and a broad range of internal and external partners. In all cases, you will apply project management best practice to ensure successful delivery, adapting approaches where required to meet the needs of the project or programme.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated project professional who enjoys working collaboratively, influencing stakeholders, and delivering outcomes that make a real difference.
