Role Overview

Futurecity is seeking an experienced and highly capable Project Manager to join our London team on a fixed-term contract, with strong potential for extension. The role will support Futurecity's senior leadership team to deliver a portfolio of high-profile international projects.

The position spans strategic advisory projects (such as public art frameworks, cultural strategies, and delivery roadmaps) as well as live public art commissions and exhibitions embedded within large-scale urban developments. The successful candidate will play a central role in translating strategy into implementable delivery plans and ensuring continuity from concept through to on-site execution.

While managed from the London office, many projects are based in the Middle East and other international contexts. The role requires confidence operating within construction-led, multi-package developments and navigating complex approval, procurement, and stakeholder environments.
