This role sits within Swan Retail and The EPOS Bureau, part of our Retail division. Swan Retail and The EPOS Bureau deliver specialist EPOS and back-office software to independent and multi-site retailers across the UK.

We are looking for an organised and proactive Junior Project Manager to support the successful delivery of customer projects. This is not a role requiring extensive project management experience. Instead, we are looking for someone who demonstrates the core traits of a great Project Manager – highly organised, able to prioritise effectively, a strong communicator, self-driven and eager to learn.

You may already have some exposure to projects, retail, hospitality or SaaS environments, but just as important is your mindset. This role would suit someone early in their project management career who is keen to develop and grow within a supportive and fast-moving technology business.

You will support the delivery of projects primarily within The EPOS Bureau, and as required across Swan Retail. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Development, Implementation and Training to ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope and to the expected quality standards.

  • Coordinate timelines, meetings and communications to keep projects on track
  • Act as a key contact for customers during implementation
  • Work closely with Product, Development and Implementation teams to ensure smooth delivery
  • Keep project plans organised, up to date and clearly communicated
  • Identify risks early and escalate where needed
  • Provide clear progress updates to internal and external stakeholders
  • Contribute to continuous improvement in how we deliver projects

 

Required Skills and Experience

 

  • Some exposure to project delivery or coordination, ideally in a junior capacity
  • Familiarity with project planning tools is advantageous but not essential
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams is beneficial 
  • Exposure to retail, hospitality or SaaS environments
  • Experience in software implementation, training or customer support
  • A genuine interest in building a career in project management 

 

Benefits

 

At ClearCourse, we’re committed to supporting our people both professionally and personally. As part of the group, you’ll have access to a comprehensive benefits package, including:

 

  • 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays (with the option to carry over up to 5 days)

  • Private Medical Insurance (AXA) – core cover including outpatient, therapies, mental health and cancer cover (opt-in benefit)

  • Cash Plan covering everyday healthcare costs such as dental, optical, physio and prescriptions (opt-in benefit)

  • Group Income Protection providing long-term financial support in the event of illness

  • Peppy Health support for menopause, fertility, pregnancy, women’s and men’s health (including partner access)
