Project Manager (Fixed-Term Contract, 9 Months)
Brighton (Hybrid)

At MPB, we're on a mission to make photography and videography more accessible, affordable and sustainable.

As the world's leading platform for used camera equipment, we help creators buy, sell and trade kit with confidence, extending the life of thousands of products every day and supporting a more circular future for our industry.

As we continue to scale, we're looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to join our Engineering function, and help drive two strategically important technical programmes that will support the next stage of MPB's growth.

The opportunity

This is a role for someone who thrives on bringing clarity to complexity.

You'll take ownership of two high-priority engineering programmes, working closely with internal teams and external delivery partners to ensure projects stay on track, risks are managed early, and momentum is maintained from kick-off through to delivery.

You'll sit at the heart of our Engineering organisation, partnering with Product, Engineering and senior business stakeholders to create visibility, drive accountability and ensure decisions happen at the right time.

We're looking for someone who can confidently navigate ambiguity, build trusted relationships, challenge constructively when needed, and bring the right level of structure without slowing teams down.

What you'll be doing

• Leading the end-to-end delivery of two concurrent technical programmes.

• Building and maintaining clear delivery plans, milestones and dependency maps.

• Managing relationships with external delivery partners, ensuring commitments, quality standards and timelines are met.

• Tracking risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies, proactively resolving blockers before they impact delivery.

• Working closely with Engineering and Product teams to align priorities, scope and sequencing.

• Creating transparency across programmes through effective governance, reporting and communication.

• Providing clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders, translating technical detail into meaningful business outcomes.

• Helping teams maintain focus and momentum in a fast-moving environment where priorities can evolve.

What we're looking for

You'll likely bring:

• Proven experience delivering complex technical projects across multiple teams.

• Experience working with both internal engineering teams and external vendors or delivery partners.

• Strong project management fundamentals, including planning, risk management, stakeholder engagement and dependency management.

• Experience maintaining RAID logs and driving ownership of actions and resolutions.

• A pragmatic approach to Agile delivery, understanding when to adapt rather than follow frameworks rigidly.

• The ability to operate confidently in environments where priorities shift and requirements evolve.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage technical specialists and senior business leaders alike.

• A proactive, ownership-led mindset and the confidence to work independently.

Why MPB?

Technology plays a critical role in helping us deliver the best possible experience for photographers and videographers around the world.

You'll join a collaborative engineering organisation that values openness, quality and continuous improvement. We take a cloud-native approach to development, encourage experimentation, and empower our teams to solve meaningful problems.

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact—helping deliver programmes that contribute directly to the future growth of MPB and the millions of creators we support.

What you'll get

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays

• Private healthcare from day one

• 4% employer pension contribution

• Cycle to Work scheme

• Employee Assistance Programme
