Project Manager

View Project Manager Jobs“We are constantly hiring into Strategic Projects for two reasons. Firstly we are proud to be an incubator of talent for Compass Group and many of our business leaders started out in the Strategic Projects team before moving into commercial leadership across our sector businesses. Secondly, we are a growing $20B+ business and there is a high demand for internal Strategic Project management here which keeps us challenged!”

Hear from our team
Brittany
Senior Project Manager,
Continuous Improvement Team
We want this to be the last place you ever work.
“When I got hired, someone in HR said, ‘We want this to be the last place you ever work.’ And it’s not because she wanted me to have the same job for my entire career — it’s because she wanted to be clear that as I grow or my interests shift, the organization will find a place for me. That’s the benefit of working for Compass Group, and Strategic Projects in particular. There’s always an opportunity for evolution and progression.”
Jessica
Project Manager,
Continuous Improvement Team
The growth mindset and constant opportunity to do new things, learn more, and connect with new people make me so excited for what’s to come.
“Coming to Compass Group was the best move I could have made. It brought me into an upbeat culture where people are excited to see what's new and what's next. It still feels like a growing company, while also being a market leader. The growth mindset and constant opportunity to do new things, learn more, and connect with new people make me so excited for what’s to come.”
Patrick
Senior Project Manager,
Innovation & Integrations Team
This is a place where you can make an impact.
“Within Strategic Projects, the culture is the best of any company I’ve ever worked for. There’s a level of flexibility and trust that all members of the team will get the job done, do it well, and ask for support where needed. It’s humbling, and it drives us all to get better every day. This is a place where you can make an impact, where you’re challenged to work outside of your comfort zone — but with a broad-based group of coworkers who are willing to provide support. It’s an incredibly unique place.”
