Maven announces partnership with Project Managers Job Board

‘PMJobBoard’ is a new careers website dedicated to Project Managers seeking employment in the UK.   Candidates are able to search and apply for the latest PMO, project, programme and portfolio management jobs advertised by leading employers and specialist recruitment agencies.

“The launch of a dedicated project management job board indicates that our sector is buoyant and is evidence that, as the economy picks up, the demand for well qualified project and programme professionals continues; we are delighted to be involved in this exciting development from the outset” says Melanie Franklin, CEO at Maven.  

This is an important innovation because it gives candidates certainty that the roles being advertised really are for project managers and that those placing the advertisements are clear about their requirements. Other jobsites misinterpret the skills involved in project and especially programme management roles, emphasising the requirements for specialist business experience and downplaying the skills of planning, risk management, change control, managing in an uncertain environment and stakeholder engagement.

“Many of our delegates are freelance consultants wishing to up-skill to increase their earning potential whilst others are project managers looking to achieve their career aspirations or take on their next career challenge” says Nbe Prodger, Business Development Consultant at Maven.  “Our course portfolio will help candidates build the skills, knowledge and techniques needed to advance their career in project management and a formal qualification can be the difference between having a job and having a career” he continues.
