Project Manager

The main objective of the Project Manager role within the Research Project Management (RPM) Team is to lead on the management of the team’s portfolio of research projects. The post-holder will also lead on the development of new proposals and commercial tenders with relevant funding bodies.

The RPM office is an integral part of Imperial’s Enterprise Department, which provides commercial and business management services to support the award and delivery of funded programmes and projects. The work of Enterprise directly underpins Imperial’s mission, thereby supporting the development of new or enhanced research, education and/or translation capabilities across all faculties of the university and on behalf of Imperial’s academic community. The RPM has a specific focus on managing high-profile international projects (and bids) funded by the European Commission, Research Council, and other funding bodies.

The current portfolio is mostly funded by the European Commission and made up of projects from the Horizon2020 Programme, but it includes projects from the new Horizon Europe Programme. The new programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting, and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports creating and better dispersing of excellent knowledge and technologies. You will have the opportunity to be part of this exciting new chapter in European Commission research funding and will ensure that RPM projects meet the funder’s goals and requirements.
