Here’s what you will be doing…
  • Leading a multi-disciplinary team to successfully deliver the business and IT outcomes for our stakeholders and customers through the complete project lifecycle using Agile / Waterfall approaches depending on the project(s) assigned
  • Identifying key resources and managing internal and external stakeholders to ensure project objectives are delivered
  • Engaging senior stakeholders to shape the direction of the project; prepare and present key decisions for approval, articulating trade-offs between scope, solution, customer and operational impacts
  • Managing the integration of complex IT systems, including third parties, engaging relevant platform teams and applying appropriate oversight and control to achieve the overarching project plan
  • Ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and all governance, risk and regulated frameworks are adhered to throughout the project life cycle
  • Understanding the context in which the project is delivering and anticipating challenges or blockers that may impede the team or identifying opportunities to join things up across the organisation to drive efficiency
  • Experience managing risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies

  • Experience of working in a dynamic environment with multiple cross project dependencies
  • Ability to lead a team of resources across multiple sites, whilst building solid business relationships

  • Experience of managing projects with business and technology deliverables and / or changes involving external third-party providers
  • Managing projects with a number of moving parts together with good organisational skills and multi-tasking is a must as is the ability to make rigorous decisions at pace
  • A flexible and proven ability to successfully deliver agreed planning outcomes within an agile project development environment
We’d love you to have (but not essential)…
  • Technology experience
  • Financial crime/ Fraud project experience

We really need you to have the skills and experience listed in the ‘There are a few essentials you need to bring’ section above, but the rest is just our wish list, so please don’t let that put you off applying, we’d love to hear from you!
