Your role: Project Manager

Why you'll want to work with us: At Danske Bank, we're driven by a clear purpose: to help customers, colleagues, and society thrive. We believe that what we do genuinely makes a positive difference and that our culture and ways of working create a unique place to grow your career. This includes investing in our people's personal growth and wellbeing to ensure everyone feels that they belong and are set up for success. We value diversity in its broadest sense which we know makes us stronger as a business and invites all colleagues to bring their whole selves to work. Our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy is central to our purpose and shows up in how we work every day. Driving sustainability is a key strategic priority for us. We're passionate about giving back to the communities in which we live and work.

Your benefits: There's much more to working at Danske Bank than just a salary but for this role we are offering a competitive salary. We also offer an attractive range of flexible benefits centered on wellness, financial, psychological, physical and social. Everyone's circumstances are different, and our benefits can be tailored to your needs.

The role: We're delighted to be currently recruiting for a Project Manager to take leadership of projects, tasks and support activities within the Projects and Consultancy Services (PACS) team. This involves personally leading major Projects - ensuring through the use of Traditional Waterfall and Agile project management disciplines that all project activities are successfully completed and are aligned to Bank / Group strategy and values, and the achievement of agreed costs, benefits and customer outcomes.

Your skills: Your areas of knowledge and expertise that matter most for this role:

• Essential: Significant Project Manager experience demonstrating successful delivery of material changes across an organisation.
• Experience of methodologies and tools which support project delivery e.g. Waterfall/Agile, Confluence/JIRA.
• Working across a diverse range of business units and stakeholders (including geographically dispersed teams) to positively influence outcomes.
• Evidence of shaping and implementing innovative solutions which challenge the status quo and prioritise customer experience.
• Evidence of initiative-taking to bring out the best in others and solve business problems without compromising standards, integrity or culture.

• Preferred: Experience of managing a project portfolio.
• A recognised Project Management qualification such as Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Prince 2 or Project Management Professional (PMP) - if not held must gain formal qualification within first 12 months.
• Strong awareness of how technology and new ways of working are being used to redefine customer experiences across Financial Services and other industries.
• Knowledge of compliance and experience working in a regulated sector.

How we work: Our belief is that we are "Better when Together" and want to balance the benefits of teaming up in person with flexible working where possible. We will be supportive and flexible to your circumstances, so for roles that offer a hybrid option we ask colleagues to attend their base location a minimum of 3 days a week so they can connect, collaborate and learn together. Some of our roles are customer facing which means that it's really important to be able to work with customers face to face and hybrid working isn't appropriate.

That means that, as a committed equal opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of (but not limited to); gender, ethnicity, background, nationality, generation, age, working style, religious background, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and cognitive diversity, including neurodiversity.
