The Shillito Group are partnered with a well-established financial services organisation looking to hire a Senior Project Manager to lead complex business change and strategic projects across the organisation. This is not a pure IT Project Manager role. They need someone who has delivered large-scale change before, can bring structure to complexity, influence senior stakeholders and confidently lead projects from inception through to delivery. You’ll play a key role in improving governance, delivery standards and overall project maturity within a growing change environment.
What they’re looking for:
- A proven Senior Project Manager with experience delivering large scale business change
- Experience operating in regulated or complex environments (financial services experience is highly beneficial)
- Someone who understands governance properly, but knows delivery matters more than paperwork
- Experience managing senior stakeholders across operational, technology and business functions
- Strong commercial awareness, budget ownership and risk management capability
- Someone who can bring people with them, not just manage plans
The type of person who succeeds here:
- You’ve walked into ambiguity before and brought order to it
- You know how to build credibility quickly
- You’re comfortable challenging senior people when required
- You focus on outcomes, not activity
- You’ve delivered meaningful change, not just coordinated it
