We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our Transformation & Agile Practices team — someone who thrives in a fast‑moving environment and can bring structure, clarity, and momentum to complex change.
In this role, you’ll lead medium to large‑scale projects (or multiple projects at once), shaping the vision, plans, and delivery approach from the outset. You’ll be responsible for end‑to‑end execution, from planning through to implementation, reporting, and performance management — ensuring delivery is on time, within budget, and to scope.

* Ensure compliance with governance processes, including Enterprise Change PMO standards.
* Manage project budgets, forecasts, and financial tracking, ensuring value for money and transparency of spend.
* Support business case development and benefits tracking, ensuring expected value is delivered.
* Prepare and present project updates for governance forums, steering groups, and leadership reviews.
* Work closely with operational leaders to ensure smooth transition into BAU, including training, comms, readiness assessments, and post‑implementation support.
* Facilitate the embedding of new processes, systems, or controls to ensure changes are fully adopted and benefits realized.
We need you to have
* Solid experience delivering medium to large‑scale projects, ideally within transformation, financial services, insurance, or similarly complex environments.
* Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional teams, drive clarity, and maintain momentum across multiple workstreams.
* Experience engaging, influencing, and aligning stakeholders at all levels — with confidence communicating progress, risks, and decisions.
* Experience working with third‑party suppliers and delivery partners, ensuring outcomes are delivered to agreed scope, quality, and timelines.
* Ability translate plans, risks, and insights into clear messaging for different audiences, including senior leaders.
* Understanding of project budgeting, forecasting, value for money, and how delivery aligns to wider business objectives.
* A focus on delivering change that improves customer experience and business outcomes.
* Ability to navigate ambiguity, assess options, make informed decisions, and manage risks proactively.
* A mindset that looks for ways to enhance delivery practices, simplify processes, and drive better ways of working.
* Familiarity with project delivery methodologies (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) and supporting tools, with the ability to apply them pragmatically.
And if you have any of these, even better
* Experience working in an agile change environment.
