We are looking for a Project Manager to join our Content Development Team

This is a new 12-month FTC and a chance to manage the delivery of a portfolio of standardisation projects that provide tailored solutions for clients from diverse market sectors. This typically involves managing the drafting, development, and publication of national standards and client-sponsored standards. It also includes managing other client-sponsored standardisation services such as standards mapping and scoping exercises. Where client-sponsored projects are part of a wider programme of activity, the Project Manager works as part of a programme team.

This role will suit candidates with a proven ability to deliver multiple projects to client expectations, on budget, on schedule, and to an expected level of quality. It is important to demonstrate strong editorial and rewriting skills, an ability to critically analyse technical content and research findings, and manage a publication production process. It is also important to demonstrate excellent communication skills, including authoritative meeting chairing and facilitation and strong persuading and influencing skills, to manage client relationships and build consensus amongst various external and internal stakeholders.

About the company

BSI is the UK’s National Standards Body, but we are much more than that. We are an international organization that tackles the problems businesses have by leading the development and embedding of best practices.

• Apply and advise project stakeholders on editing and standards drafting rules, through the critical analysis of technical content, use of editorial and rewriting skills, and application of standards development knowledge.
• Draft, review, assess, edit and proofread other standardization services documents, such as domain research, workshop, standards mapping, and standards scoping reports.
• Effectively manage the relationship with external stakeholders and project suppliers, such as clients, technical authors, consultants, researchers, PAS steering group, PAS review panel, Flex advisory group, Technical Committees, and drafting panels.
• Comprehensively and effectively manage any client or stakeholder queries.
