We are one team with one agenda, working collaboratively in a respectful environment to deliver a great service to our clients. So if you join us, you’ll not only be working on exciting client challenges, you’ll also be helping us shape the future of accounting.
The Role
We are seeking a driven and delivery-focused Project Manager to join our Transformation team at key time—not just for Gravita, but for the accounting industry as a whole. The profession is undergoing a significant transformation, as technology, data, and client expectations reshape how services are delivered. With increased automation, smarter platforms, and integrated workflows, this is a pivotal time to drive meaningful change as firms come together, digitise, and reimagine their operating models. This role will take the lead on a portfolio of projects, with a particular focus on our firmwide transformation programme — driving the delivery and adoption of systems across all of our offices. With focus on operational efficiency, technology adoption, process redesign and cultural change across the business.
You’ll be working closely with stakeholders across Service Lines, Finance, People, Tech, and the wider Leadership Team to scope, plan, and deliver projects that underpin our growth ambitions.

- Strong project management skills: planning, governance, risk management, issue resolution.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage at all levels.
- Experience managing third-party vendors and technology implementations.
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and bringing structure to loosely defined problems.
