Creative Project Manager jobs

Can you imagine a world without music? Neither can we.

Key Details

You will lead the delivery of a portfolio of digital, data and technology initiatives that support business growth, operational efficiency and customer experience improvements across PPL PRS.

Working with business sponsors, technology teams and external delivery partners, you will deliver projects from concept through to successful business adoption.

Projects may include digital self-service initiatives, the Agentic Contact Centre rollout, AI projects across Sales, Reviews and Renewals, reporting, analytics and insights, Salesforce platform enhancements and strategic business change.

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to join a technology function that is playing a central role in shaping the future of PPL PRS.

Over the past three years, PPL PRS has made significant and sustained investment in technology, digital services, data and AI capabilities, with a strong pipeline of initiatives planned for the years ahead. Technology is viewed as a key enabler of business growth, operational efficiency and improved customer experiences, giving this role the opportunity to deliver projects that have visible and measurable impact.

As a Digital Project Manager, you will work across a diverse portfolio of initiatives including digital self-service, AI-enabled services, customer experience improvements, reporting and analytics, and platform enhancements. You will partner directly with business sponsors, technology teams and external delivery partners, giving you broad exposure across both business and technology change.
