About British Cycling

In 2027 the UK will host the GrandDepart of both the Tour De France and the Tour De France Femmes avec Zwift. This will be the first time in history that both races have departed from the same country, outside of France. A landmark social impact programme will also be delivered across the UK, tackling inactivity, improving mental wellbeing, boosting economic growth and supporting communities to thrive. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) - Grand Depart GB 2027 - will maintain oversight of the delivery of the events and will manage public funding on behalf of DCMS, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and UK Sport. The SPV is a Joint Venture between UKEL (a new sports events company) and British Cycling. British Cycling will deliver the operational and business function, social impact and volunteer programmes along with all consumer facing functions, on behalf of partners. We are now recruiting a highly organised and proactive Project Manager to support the planning, coordination and delivery. Working as part of the Programme Management Office, you will help ensure that functional areas are well planned, delivery milestones are clearly understood, risks are actively managed and hosts remain on track. You will play a key role in connecting operational planning with Host Local Authority assurance, supporting monthly reporting to partners and help ensure the wider programme maintains pace, structure and visibility. This is a hands-on project management role in a complex, fast-moving and high-profile environment. You will work closely with internal teams, delivery partners and programme leadership to track progress, manage risks and dependencies, support planning routines and ensure that key information is clearly reported through the project’s governance structure. You will use Monday.com as the core project management tool, helping to maintain plans, track actions, monitor risks, support reporting and provide a clear view of delivery progress across the programme. This is an opportunity to play a central role in the delivery of one of the most significant sporting events ever hosted in the UK, helping bring structure, clarity and momentum to a project with national profile and lasting impact.

Experience supporting teams to plan activity, manage milestones and deliver against deadlines.
Skilled in governance reporting, providing clear updates to boards and senior stakeholders.
