Remote Project Manager contract jobs

Remote Project Manager contracts are UK day-rate roles, doing scope, plan, cost and the stakeholder who can stop the work, that do not tie you to an office. They are a subset of the national Project Manager market, and they are competed for accordingly.

Remote Project Manager work

A remote Project Manager contract still has a client, a day rate and an IR35 status. The difference is that the advert does not name a desk. Programmes in banking, government, health and any transformation that has more than one supplier all hire this way some of the time. Hybrid Project Manager roles are listed under their city instead, including on the city guides linked from the job market.

All Project Manager contract jobs is the national picture. This page is the remote cut of it, including the live rows below when the board has any.

Day rates

Advertised Project Manager day rates commonly sit between £450 and £700. That is the headline number, before tax, umbrella margin or the costs of a limited company. Remote rates track the national band and sometimes the client's London band, because they are hiring from the whole country. The rate on a specific advert is on the board when the recruiter published one. Where they wrote "competitive" instead, the role is harder to compare and usually not in a hurry to tell you.

Compare an offer with Project Manager day rates and with the IR35 calculator before you accept an inside number that only looks larger.

IR35

Most Project Manager contracts are inside IR35 and paid through an umbrella or agency PAYE. Outside roles do appear, usually where the client wants a defined outcome rather than a seat, and they are worth filtering for because the take-home gap is large. If the only offers you can see are inside, the day rate has to be higher to leave you in the same place.

Working from home does not make a contract outside IR35. Outside IR35 jobs is the filter that follows the advert's own words.

How to get the role

The live list is on the Project Manager board. Members see new Project Manager contracts in the first 48 hours and get the apply link on every job. The public board is delayed, and it does not carry the link to the original advert.

If nothing in remote is open today, set an alert for Project Manager rather than refreshing a stale search. Alerts are a member feature, checked every hour, and they only send when there is something new.
