Lead Transformation. Drive Change. Deliver Impact.

We're partnering with an ambitious, rapidly growing organisation undergoing significant transformation across its people, processes and technology.

With major strategic initiatives underway, we're looking for an experienced

Project Manager who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys bringing clarity, structure and energy to complex change.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of a well-established business that is investing heavily in transformation, modernisation and continuous improvement.

You'll be responsible for delivering multiple business-critical projects, working across business and technology teams to ensure successful outcomes while building strong stakeholder relationships at every level.

If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, leading through ambiguity and bringing people together to deliver change, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

This is a varied role where no two projects are the same.

You'll be responsible for managing projects from initiation through to delivery, ensuring they remain on track, within budget and aligned to strategic business objectives.

Working across business, technology and third-party suppliers, you'll provide leadership, governance and structure while maintaining a collaborative and positive approach that inspires confidence across the organisation.

The environment is fast-moving, evolving and highly collaborative, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working at pace and helping organisations navigate change.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the successful delivery of multiple business and technology change projects.
• Take ownership of project scope, plans, budgets, timelines, risks and dependencies.
• Produce and maintain project governance documentation and reporting.
• Build strong relationships with senior business stakeholders, technology teams and external suppliers.
• Communicate project progress, risks and issues clearly to all levels of the business.
• Lead cross-functional project teams in a matrix environment.
• Manage project risks, issues and dependencies, implementing mitigation plans where required.
• Drive effective planning, prioritisation and resource management.
• Ensure projects deliver measurable business value while maintaining high quality standards.
• Support continuous improvement across project management practices and ways of working.
• Contribute towards wider business transformation initiatives and organisational change.

We're Looking For Someone Who Has

Essential Experience

• Proven Project Management experience delivering business change and transformation initiatives.
• Experience leading cross-functional projects involving both business and technology stakeholders.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects in fast-paced environments.
• Excellent planning, governance, risk and budget management experience.
• Strong communication and leadership skills.
• Comfortable working within ambiguity and adapting to changing priorities.
• A positive, proactive and solutions-focused mindset.
• Highly Desirable
• Experience delivering software or technology-enabled change.
• Business process improvement and operational transformation experience.
• Experience working within Agile, Waterfall or hybrid delivery environments.
• Financial Services experience.
• Exposure to mergers & acquisitions (M&A), business integrations or organisational change programmes.
• Vendor and third-party supplier management experience.
• Knowledge of large-scale platform or systems transformation programmes.
• Project Management certifications such as PRINCE2, APM, PMP, Agile or SAFe.

About You

You'll naturally bring energy to your team and be someone who enjoys building relationships across the business.

You're organised, commercially aware and comfortable balancing competing priorities while maintaining focus on delivering results.

You'll be equally comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders as you are supporting delivery teams, and you'll enjoy working in an organisation where change is constant and opportunities are everywhere.

Most importantly, you'll have the resilience, adaptability and enthusiasm to help drive transformation in an exciting period of growth.
