IT Project Assistant

You'll join a leading global manufacturer as a IT Project Assistant and Executive Assistant to the CIO to support critical IT and digital transformation initiatives.

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the centre of a European transformation programme, supporting projects from concept to delivery, managing stakeholders and suppliers, and enabling the CIO to operate at peak performance. You'll be the glue that keeps everything running smoothly, from tracking RAID logs and coordinating supplier invoices to preparing senior leadership reports and maintaining project governance documentation.

The role offers a salary of up to £40k depending on experience and a remote working pattern with adhoc travel to Gloucester once per month.

What you'll be doing:

• Supporting cross-functional IT and transformation projects by managing documentation, meetings, and reporting tools.
• Providing executive support to the CIO: diary management, travel, board meeting prep, and confidential correspondence.
• Coordinating with third-party vendors and internal stakeholders across Europe.
• Managing procurement processes - raising POs, handling invoices, tracking budgets, and ensuring contract compliance.
• Driving continuous improvement in processes, tools, and operational workflows.

• Proven experience in a similar Project Assistant, PMO Coordinator, or EA role in the IT/Technology industry.
• Strong organisational and communication skills - comfortable juggling multiple tasks across time zones.
• Good understanding of tools like Excel, PowerPoint, Google Workspace, and project tracking tools (e.g. Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira).
• Experience with supplier coordination and financial administration.
• Able to work independently in a remote role with ad hoc travel across the UK and Europe.
