What's your possible?

At Northrop Grumman UK, you are part of a team driving innovation where it matters most - solving tomorrow's challenges and shaping the technology solutions of the future. It's what we call Defining Possible.

This mindset goes beyond our customer solutions; it's the foundation for your career development and the impact we have within the community.

The Opportunity

This is more than just a job; it's a mission.

We're looking for a Project Manager to join our UK Cyber & Intelligence business. Our teams combine modern software-engineering practices with deep Defence and national-security expertise. You'll play a key role in delivering complex, sensitive and high-impact technology projects that support customers through ambitious digital transformation.

You will join a team that thrives on curiosity, collaboration and innovation - working at scale and pace to make a real-world difference.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Leading projects to deliver agreed outcomes within time, cost and quality constraints.
  • Providing day-to-day leadership to the project team, ensuring effective decision-making and strong management controls.
  • Designing the project structure, setting appropriate delivery methodologies and managing transitions between phases.
  • Developing and maintaining business cases, budgets and project plans, ensuring performance and progress are clearly reported.
  • Building and developing high-performing teams, identifying resource requirements and supporting recruitment where required.
  • Managing stakeholder relationships, ensuring clear communication and senior-level engagement.
  • Identifying, monitoring and reporting risks and issues, driving mitigation and escalation where appropriate.
  • Supporting governance and assurance processes, including gateway reviews and change-control mechanisms.

What We're Looking For

Essential:
  • Proven experience in project or delivery management roles with strong evidence of collaborative working.
  • Experience with UK Government or MOD environments, including PRINCE2, Agile, APM or MSP frameworks.
  • Recent experience delivering IT, software or cyber projects within Government or similar complex organisations.
  • Experience delivering to time, budget and quality within T&M and fixed-price contracts.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities across specialist teams.

Preferred:
  • Additional certifications or experience in Agile methodologies or scaled delivery environments.

If you don't meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We value potential and transferable skills just as much as experience.

Security Clearance Requirements

You must currently hold the highest level of UK Government security clearance.

Our recruitment team is here to help and can answer any questions: talentenquiries@uk.ngc.com

Benefits
  • Flexible working options, including an optional compressed fortnight
  • Private healthcare
  • Cash health plan
  • Holiday buy/sell scheme
  • Career development programmes, mentorship and training
  • Performance bonuses
  • A range of wellbeing and lifestyle benefits
