- Translate business needs into comprehensive project plans, timelines, and milestones, ensuring clarity of direction for all involved parties.
- Oversee the analysis and mapping of existing (“as-is”) business processes and champion the design of improved (“to-be”) workflows.
- Identify, recommend, and implement opportunities for process automation, efficiency improvements, and innovation.
- Direct and coordinate project activities throughout the delivery lifecycle, managing project schedules, budgets, and resource allocation.
- Ensure the successful delivery of projects by monitoring progress, proactively addressing risks and issues, and maintaining strong communication with stakeholders and senior management.
- Liaise with cross-functional teams, including technical teams and external suppliers, to guarantee alignment and timely execution.
- Oversee the development and execution of test plans and user acceptance testing (UAT) to validate solutions meet business requirements.
- Manage the operational implementation of changes, including coordinating training, updating documentation, and ensuring effective communication across the organisation.
- Ensure projects comply with the group’s change control processes, governance frameworks, and regulatory requirements.
- Maintain accurate, comprehensive project documentation, including project plans, status reports, risk logs, and change records.
- Promote a culture of continuous improvement within the project team by identifying lessons learned and implementing best practices.
- Stay informed of industry trends, emerging methodologies, and new technologies to drive innovation in project delivery.
Job Requirements:
- Extensive experience in Project Management within financial services, ideally in a change delivery or transformation function.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to communicate clearly and concisely.
- The ability to lead, control, motivate, and focus people at all levels of the business.
- Strong objective facilitation skills that encourage collaboration, energise teams, and maintain participation across the project teams, with the emotional intelligence to resolve conflicts effectively.
