• with Passion - fuelled by our enthusiasm and positivity to deliver excellent results.

Location and Ways of Working

We follow the principle of "Locate for your Day", which means that we expect people to use their own judgment to decide the best place to work to meet the needs of the business.

The majority of our roles can be performed predominantly remotely, however we are not a fully remote organisation as we recognise the importance of face-to-face connection, so you will be expected to spend some time in the office.

We operate from our Global Hub at Victoria Square House in Birmingham and maintain a small presence in Central London.

Our Global Hub is located in Birmingham, which is our primary location, however, many of our employees are located across the UK, so we try to be mindful of our sustainability commitments when coming together to collaborate. Therefore, working in another location may be required on occasion. You will be expected to commute to your usual place (Birmingham) of work at your own cost and any requests for you to travel further will be compensated.

Main purpose of the role

This role is responsible for the end-to-end delivery and operational management of all VisitEngland Academy programmes-from initial planning and content setup, through to execution and post-delivery communications and reporting. It acts as a central point of coordination across stakeholders, systems, and delivery partners.

A critical focus of this role is the oversight of the VE Academy Learning Management System (LMS)-ensuring a smooth learner experience, content management, system testing, and administrative support for both learners and trainers. The Project Manager will also lead the re-procurement and migration to a new LMS, ensuring there is no disruption to programme delivery during this strategically vital transition.
