- Coordinating Deliverables: Actively track team tasks, coordinate the timely delivery of project milestones, and ensure cross-functional team members are aligned with deadlines.
- Escalating Blockers: Proactively identify project risks, issues, or delays, and swiftly escalate blockers to the Senior PM to ensure rapid resolution and minimal impact on timelines.
- Reporting on Progress: Consistently gather status updates, maintain project dashboards, and draft clear progress reports for internal teams and stakeholders.
- Meeting Facilitation: Organise project meetings, prepare agendas, and document action items to ensure momentum is maintained after every sync.
Qualifications & Skills:
- Strong Organisational Skills: Exceptional ability to multitask, prioritise, and manage time effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to confidently interface with diverse team members.
- Problem-Solving Mindset: A proactive attitude with a knack for spotting potential issues before they become critical blockers.
- Tools: Familiarity with project management software (e.g., Azure DevOps / Jira / Asana) and productivity suites (e.g., MS Office) is a strong plus.

What We Do
AND Digital is on a mission to close the world’s digital skills gap. We do that by doing things differently when we work with our clients, communities and colleagues. Instead of working FOR exciting brands (like British Airways, Heineken and Nike), we work WITH them, and that's not just a party line. We combine our people with our clients' people to form a single project team, so collaborative you can't tell our ANDis from our clients. By working together, we help our partners understand and map out the challenges they're trying to solve. Then, by building their digital products as one team, we teach them the same digital skills we have. That means when we leave, they can own their apps, websites and future projects independently. Pretty cool huh? We have cross-functional teams working across the UK, Netherlands and East Coast US - and growing by demand. Our unique, city-based Club model means we can offer the agility and personalised service of a small local company, with the security and clout of a global organisation
