Project Manager Apprentice (London) London, England
Job description
Who are Experian?
We are the world’s leading global information services company. During life’s big moments – from buying a home or a car, to sending a child to college, to growing a business by connecting with new customers – we empower consumers and our clients to manage their data with confidence. We help individuals to take financial control and access financial services, businesses to make smarter decisions and thrive, lenders to lend more responsibly, and organisations to prevent identity fraud and crime.
We have 20,000 people operating across 44 countries and every day we’re investing in new technologies, talented people, and innovation to help all our clients maximise every opportunity. We are listed on the London Stock Exchange (EXPN) and are a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
Our approach to flexible working
We care about work that works, whether that’s about where you work or adjusting your hours to fit better with your life. Our flexible working practices, including our hybrid working model where you can split your working time between the office and your home, support our belief that this balance brings long-lasting benefits for our business as well as ensuring that our people can balance successful careers with their commitments and interests outside of work. So that you can love where you work, please discuss what works for you with your recruiter during the hiring process.
Accepting you, for you.
We want you to feel accepted for who you are and to feel safe, valued and to help us build a culture of true belonging. Experian is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and we take affirmative action to create a more inclusive and equitable world of work. We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of age, disability, gender identity, marital status, race, ethnicity, faith or belief, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, Veteran status or whether you’re pregnant or on family leave.
Project Management is all about spinning plates, learning how to keep multiple things flowing, and knowing which tasks take priority and need attention first. As a Project Manager apprentice at Experian, you’ll work in one of our business areas, gain exposure to our exciting work and unlock career opportunities.
Initially you’ll join us in a project co-ordinator role, which will give you a fantastic insight and great grounding in the world of project management. You’ll be compiling reports, shadowing calls and attending weekly team meetings for example, to build your knowledge and understanding of our business. You’ll also work with a variety of teams to arrange meetings, schedule in customer delivery work, co-ordinate customer queries and organise sign-offs for key documentation such as customer satisfaction surveys for example, amongst a variety of other tasks. It’s a fast-paced role which requires adaptability!
The best part of it all? The support you get from Experian. We’ll help you develop your skills, provide training opportunities and enable you to gain insight into business by working on real life projects. Over time, you will build and develop the skills needed for a successful career in Project Management.
Alongside your role, you’ll study towards a BSc (Hons) Project Management degree with one of our partner training providers through distance learning. The duration of the course is 4 years and in addition to your salary, you’ll benefit from fully paid tuition fees, as well as our support every step of the way.
If you choose to join us, you’ll receive industry training, wide-reaching career opportunities and a wealth of support through our Early Careers Network, buddy, line manager & mentor scheme. You’ll also join onto Experian’s structured 2 year Early Careers Development programme, which is packed with workshops, short-courses & online material designed to help kick-start your career.
Our concept is simple. We believe in expanding horizons – it’s what makes Experian a global leader and a Top UK Tech Employer.

- You must not have a degree in a similar subject
- Due to UK government apprenticeship funding rules, you must have lived in the UK for at least 3 years and have permission from the UK government to live in the UK (not for educational purposes) or have obtained pre-settled or settled status.
No previous knowledge of project management is necessary, but you must be a great communicator keen to develop your business and commercial experience.
We’re looking for individuals who are proactive, flexible, eager to learn and highly organised. You’ll be working with a variety of people meaning communication, collaboration and team working skills are key, but you’ll also need to contribute independently when required.
