We're looking for a Project Manager to join our Marketplace Trust function - owning the delivery of programmes and initiatives that protect our users and the integrity of our platform. You'll help manage multiple high-impact projects, partnering with data, legal, and product teams to identify threats, build solutions, and make Motorway the most trusted place to buy and sell a car in the UK. This is a 9 month Fixed Term Contract. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Own the end-to-end delivery of Marketplace Trust projects - defining scope, timelines, success metrics, and resource requirements across the full project lifecycle. - From week one, get under the skin of the key threats to user trust on the Motorway platform and turn that understanding into structured, actionable project plans. - Work with our data team to build deeper insight into trust trends on the platform, helping inform decision-making at senior leadership level. - Present project updates, risks, and dependencies directly to the senior leadership team - this role has real visibility at the top of the business. - Work closely with the Head of Legal & Risk to drive awareness of the team's impact and expand our influence across the organisation. - Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to make sure trust isn't just a principle - it's visible in how we operate, how we make decisions, and how we hold ourselves accountable. - Support the design and delivery of internal training programmes on marketplace trust topics. ABOUT YOU - Proven experience in project management, with a track record of delivering cross-functional initiatives on time and to scope. - Background in or strong exposure to trust, safety, compliance, fraud prevention, risk management, or a related field is desirable but not essential. - Experience developing and implementing policies, procedures, and operational frameworks. - Strong analytical skills - comfortable working with data to identify trends, spot threats, and inform decisions. - Clear, confident communicator who can translate complex issues into straightforward plans and updates for a range of stakeholders. - You ask why things happen, not just what happened — and you use that to design better solutions, not just better reports. - You care about the integrity of what we're building — not just in principle, but in the details of how threats get identified, mitigated, and learned from.
