• Managing multiple business and technology projects simultaneously
• Developing and maintaining project plans, timelines and key milestones
• Coordinating internal stakeholders, subject matter experts and external suppliers
• Gathering business requirements and ensuring they are translated into clear project objectives

• Supporting wider business change initiatives as required.
• Identifying opportunities to improve project delivery and project governance across the business

About you:

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience delivering business or technology-related projects.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Strong planning, organisation and project coordination abilities.
• Good IT literacy and the confidence to quickly understand new systems and technologies.
• Experience working collaboratively with technical teams and business stakeholders.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities within a fast-paced environment.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach with excellent attention to detail.

Experience within Financial Services would be advantageous but isn’t essential.

A recognised Project Management qualification such as PRINCE2, AgilePM or similar would also be beneficial.
