We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to join our team in London, to deliver IT transformation projects.

  • Work closely with vendor, business, and QA resources to ensure the quality of system implementations and changes.
  • Identify opportunities to improve data quality, working with in-house Data Quality & Data Governance teams and the business.
  • Work alongside Data modelling and Reporting teams to drive improvements in internal & client reporting and data analytics.
  • Manage external parties, including software vendors and outsource service providers. Perform regular reviews of vendor capabilities and maintain a current view of alternative offerings in the marketplace.

Key Requirements/Qualifications:

  • 8 years+ in asset management, private assets, or other buy-side investment firm.
  • Experience in leading project delivery and achieving business outcomes.
  • Proven ability to work within Agile Scrum teams.
  • Knowledge of data platforms and medallion architecture.
  • Private Equity / Private Credit.
  • ESG / Sustainability.
