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. The other 2 days can be worked either from home or another bank location. 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.
