Project Manager (Talent Pool)
Full Job Posting
What you’ll be doing (depending on the role)
The exact responsibilities will vary by role and level. That said, Project Managers at innocent typically get involved in things like:
Managing projects from idea to delivery (and occasionally celebration)
Creating clear plans, timelines and ways of working
Coordinating cross ‑ functional teams across marketing, supply chain, tech, finance and beyond
Tracking progress, risks, dependencies and budgets
Helping teams stay focused when priorities shift
Communicating updates in a way that makes sense to humans
Improving how we do project delivery over time
Senior roles may also include:
Leading complex programmes or multiple projects at once
Influencing senior stakeholders and decision ‑ making
Coaching or mentoring more junior Project Managers
Entry ‑ level roles may focus more on:
Supporting project delivery and governance
Learning project tools, methodologies and best practice
Building confidence working with stakeholders
You’ll need
Again, this will vary depending on the role, but we’re generally looking for people who:
Enjoy organising work and bringing clarity to complexity
Communicate clearly, openly and with empathy
Are comfortable working with different teams and viewpoints
Can balance detail with the bigger picture
Take ownership and follow things through
For more senior roles, we’ll also look for:
Proven experience delivering projects end ‑ to ‑ end
Confidence managing risk, ambiguity and change
Strong stakeholder management skills
What you’ll get
A role matched to your experience, whether you’re building your foundations in project delivery or leading complex initiatives
The chance to work on meaningful, cross ‑ functional projects from idea through to delivery
Clear expectations around ownership, accountability and ways of working
Exposure to different teams, disciplines and stakeholders across the organisation
Opportunities to develop your project management skills, confidence and impact over time
The space to improve how projects are run, not just deliver them
Senior roles typically come with broader influence, more complexity, and responsibility for shaping delivery approaches. Entry ‑ level roles focus more on learning, support and building strong project fundamentals.
Good to know
This is a Talent Pool and not tied to a current vacancy. We’ll review applications as we build our pipeline and reach out when a relevant opportunity comes up.
We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone’s career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.
In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you’ll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target-based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.
We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same – so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.
Even if you don’t think you can tick all the boxes, if the job sounds right for you, come and throw your hat in the ring.
