Project Manager

Queen Mary University of London - Wolfson Institute of Population Health

About the Role

We are looking for a Project Manager to support three dynamic research teams focused on health equity, diagnostic safety and primary care interventions. This exciting 18-month position offers the opportunity to support impactful research that addresses health inequalities and improves outcomes for diverse communities.

You'll provide project management across the Health Equity Evidence Centre (2.5 days), Applied Health Research team (1.5 days), and Primary Care Sciences team (1 day). Your responsibilities will span project planning and coordination, financial management, research support, and stakeholder engagement. You'll organise community events, manage multiple budgets, coordinate with NHS partners, and support early career researchers.

About You

We're seeking an experienced project manager with proven ability to work independently across multiple stakeholder groups in deadline-driven environments. We’re looking for someone with project management experience and excellent organisational and communication skills. Experience in academic environments, particularly medical or life sciences disciplines, would be advantageous. Knowledge of financial systems like Agresso and research processes through WorkTribe would be desirable but not essential. Most importantly, you'll be passionate about health equity research and committed to supporting teams that are making a real difference to healthcare outcomes for underserved communities.
