Role and responsibilities:

• Developing comprehensive project plans that clearly outline scope, timelines, milestones, budgets, and resource requirements.
• Leading the end-to-end delivery of projects, ensuring alignment with company objectives and adherence to regulatory standards.
• Identifying, managing, and mitigating regulatory, compliance, operational, and project risks and issues, applying appropriate escalation processes as needed to ensure successful project delivery.
• Serving as the primary point of contact for project stakeholders and senior management, delivering regular updates on progress, risks, potential impacts, and project changes to enable smooth transitions, while highlighting achievements, challenges, and recommended next steps.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams including Financial Planners, Investment Operations, Compliance, Finance, and Technology to ensure alignment and project support.
• Supporting change management initiatives by coordinating communications and stakeholder engagement to ensure adoption and minimise resistance.
• Ensuring all project activities comply with FCA and other relevant regulatory requirements, including maintaining appropriate documentation and approvals.
• Fostering a culture of collaboration and teamwork within project teams.
• Continuously assessing and improving project management processes and methodologies while providing guidance and mentorship to project team members.

Essential attributes the successful candidate should possess:

• Minimum 5 years of project management experience within financial services, preferably in wealth management, investment management, or a similar sector.
• Project Management qualification (e.g., PRINCE2, PMP) and familiarity with agile methodologies are highly desirable.
• Experience in change management and familiarity with change management frameworks and tools.
• Strong knowledge and experience with project management tools and software.
• Proven ability to successfully manage and deliver multiple complex projects simultaneously, prioritising effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly to diverse audiences, influence stakeholders at all organisational levels, and build successful professional relationships both internally and externally.
• Self-motivated with exceptional time management skills, able to organise workload effectively, prioritise tasks, and work autonomously to meet objectives and deadlines under pressure.
