Derivco is looking for a Project Manager Level 1 to plan, coordinate, and drive end-to-end delivery of small to medium complexity projects. In this role, you'll ensure work is completed on time, within agreed scope, and to quality standards — all within our established project governance frameworks and delivery methodologies.
This is more than a coordination role. It's a genuine development pathway into more complex, strategically significant project responsibilities, giving you the foundations to grow your project leadership career within a fast-paced, global iGaming technology environment.
What You'll Be Doing
Developing and maintaining project plans, including scope documentation, milestones, task breakdowns, and dependency maps
Managing day-to-day project execution — tracking progress, identifying slippage, and adjusting plans in response to risks, blockers, or changing requirements
Prioritising and sequencing project activities, making sound trade-off decisions between scope, time, and quality
Managing risks, issues, and scope changes through structured governance processes
Communicating project status proactively to stakeholders through regular reports and facilitated meetings
Coordinating cross-functional project teams, task owners, and contributors to keep delivery on track
Managing vendor and third-party engagement where applicable
Escalating issues, risks, and scope changes beyond your authority level to your Line Manager
Contributing to the continuous improvement of project management standards, templates, and practices
What You'll Bring
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Project Management, Business Administration, or a related field. CAPM, PRINCE2 Foundation, or an equivalent project management certification is preferred.
Experience: 2–4 years of progressive experience in project coordination or project management, with demonstrated experience delivering projects end-to-end within a structured governance environment.
Skills & Knowledge:
Broad working knowledge of the full project management lifecycle — initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure
Developing proficiency in risk identification, issue management, and scope change control, including RAID log management
Practical experience coordinating internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams across technology and business units
Proficiency with project planning and tracking tools, documentation platforms, and reporting tools
Strong communication, stakeholder management, and organisational skills
A structured, detail-oriented approach with a genuine interest in growing into more complex project leadership
Why This Role Matters
You'll play a key part in helping Derivco meet operator commitments, launch product features on schedule, and protect the reputation we've built as a reliable technology delivery partner. Every project you deliver on time and within scope directly supports the commercial relationships our business depends on.
Why Derivco
Join a global team at the forefront of iGaming technology, where structured governance meets real ownership — and where this role is designed as a launchpad into the next stage of your project management career.
