Ready to make a real impact?

At PPG, we do things a bit differently. We value fun, we work hard, and we always strive for the best. We’re looking for a pragmatic, adaptable, and energetic Project Manager to join our IT team on a 9-month fixed-term basis. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can truly own end-to-end delivery, cut through complexity, and see the direct value of your work, you'll fit right in.

The Project: Programme Calandra

You’ll lead the delivery of multiple concurrent projects within our Calandra & Security Change Portfolio. Calandra is an exciting transformation programme designed to standardise our digital platform, boost cyber security, and enable seamless, secure collaboration across our global business entities. It’s meaningful, fast-moving, and critical to our future operational resilience.

Responsibilities

• Driving End-to-End Delivery: Lead everything from project mobilisation and planning straight through to a smooth handover into business-as-usual (BAU).
• Global Collaboration: Coordinate cross-functional business, technical, and third-party teams across multiple countries.
• Navigating the Big Picture: Balance global programme objectives with local operational, legal, and regulatory requirements.
• Keeping Us on Track: Manage project plans, timelines, and RAID logs, ensuring stakeholders stay aligned via clear, transparent reporting.

About You

What We’re Looking For

• A proven track record managing tech and business delivery in fast-paced, evolving, or sometimes unstructured environments.
• Solid experience or strong exposure to Cyber Security and Operational Resilience initiatives (think Vulnerability Management, DLP, Logging/Monitoring, or Security Compliance).
• A natural relationship builder who can run engaging workshops, manage escalations gracefully, and promote accountability across international teams.
• A hands-on problem solver who knows how to maintain a sharp delivery pace without dropping the ball on robust governance.

Benefits

• A Collaborative & Supportive Team: You’ll work alongside talented business analysts, technical experts, and change specialists who actively collaborate and support one another.
• Modern Way of Working: Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid schedule that only requires around one day a week in our vibrant Paddington office.
• Real Impact: You won't just be pushing paper; you will directly shape the security and operational resilience of a growing global group.
• Work-Life Balance: We love what we do and work hard to achieve it, but we fiercely protect a supportive environment that respects your life outside of work.
