Project Manager

A role for someone who truly owns delivery – not just coordinates it.

If you’re the kind of Project Manager who builds rock-solid plans, manages RAID with absolute discipline, thrives on stakeholder engagement, and stays calm and structured even when everything is moving at pace – this one’s for you.

You’ll could be managing a payments or digital or agile delivery project. This role is about you as a true Project Manager leader!

You’ll typically spend two days each week in the office – focused on the sessions that genuinely benefit from being in the room together.

• Running RAID like a pro — identifying risks early, managing issues, and driving mitigations with urgency
• Working hand-in-hand with the business, SMEs and technology teams
• Managing several small-to-medium changes simultaneously — often shifting, reprioritising, and evolving
• Leading stakeholder communication with clear, concise, senior-ready updates
• Removing blockers quickly, ensuring teams maintain momentum
• Embedding governance and change discipline across all project activity
• Driving continuous improvement through structured lessons learned
• Tracking progress against time, cost and outcomes, ensuring benefits are clear and measurable
• Coordinating readiness, business impacts and BAU adoption for smooth transitions into live service

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years’ experience as a Project Manager — ideally in financial services, product, payments or marketing change
• A genuine passion for detailed planning, RAID, documentation and structured delivery
• Experience leading digital, customer-facing and technology-enabled change
• Comfortable operating in product-led, agile/scrum environments
• Proven ability to juggle multiple small changes at pace without losing control
• Outstanding stakeholder management — confident influencing at all levels
• A strong analytical mindset, able to simplify complex information quickly
