Denholm Associates

Senior Account/Project Manager

Job Ref: 10948

The opportunity you've been waiting for

You know how to keep complex projects moving. You spot problems before they surface. You bring calm when timelines tighten, clients change direction, or teams need clarity.

This role gives you the space to operate at a more strategic level. You’ll oversee major client programmes, support and guide the wider account team, and become a trusted voice across both delivery and client relationships.

Perceptive are looking for someone who can step in quickly, bring structure across multiple workstreams, and help keep high-quality digital learning projects on track for global healthcare audiences.

How you'll make your mark

You’ll oversee a portfolio of client accounts and projects from brief through to delivery, making sure work lands on time, on budget, and at the standard clients expect.

A big part of the role centres around alignment. Bringing teams together. Keeping communication clear. Making sure priorities stay visible and projects keep momentum.

  • Act as the central point across internal teams, providing updates, insight, escalation and direction where needed.
  • Support and mentor the Account Management team, helping manage workloads and maintain consistently high standards.
  • Build trusted relationships with clients and understand the wider commercial and learning objectives behind each project.
  • Contribute to proposals, pitches and early-stage concept development.
  • Collaborate with designers, developers and subject matter experts to deliver engaging digital learning experiences.
  • Review outputs for quality, consistency and accuracy.
  • Support webinars, workshops and online learning events where required.

Healthcare experience would be useful, although Perceptive are equally interested in people coming from digital agencies, EdTech businesses, learning environments, or similar project-led organisations.

You’ll likely bring experience managing multiple stakeholders, overseeing complex delivery programmes, and helping teams stay focused and effective through busy periods.

What's in it for you

Alongside a salary of £50,000–£60,000, you’ll join a collaborative, thoughtful business that gives people autonomy, flexibility and trust.

  • 12–18 month fixed-term contract.
  • Hybrid working with a mix of Edinburgh office and remote working.
  • 33 days annual leave.
  • Company bonus scheme.
  • Working from home allowance.
  • Private pension and healthcare.
  • Cycle-to-work and electric car schemes.
  • Central Edinburgh office location close to St James Quarter.

A bit more about Perceptive

Perceptive create digital learning and continuing education programmes for healthcare professionals across the UK, Europe and global markets.

Their work combines educational expertise with digital innovation to deliver meaningful learning experiences that genuinely improve engagement and understanding.

This role plays an important part in maintaining delivery quality and supporting the wider team during a maternity cover period at a particularly busy and ambitious stage for the business.

Denholm's take

This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys bringing order, momentum and confidence to complex client work. The role carries real influence across projects and people, without losing the hands-on elements that make agency life interesting.

Perceptive have built a thoughtful, collaborative culture with genuinely interesting work at the centre of it. If you enjoy smart teams, meaningful learning projects, and the satisfaction of making delivery feel seamless, this one is worth a conversation.
