Project Manager  - 12-month Contract - Inside IR35

A leading financial services organisation is looking to hire an experienced Project Manager  on a 12-month contract.

This role will sit within a central implementation and projects function, supporting a varied portfolio of business change and technology-enabled projects. The successful candidate will work across multiple areas of the business, managing delivery, supporting governance and helping senior stakeholders drive projects forward.

This is not a pure technology PM role. The client is looking for someone with strong business-facing project delivery experience who can work closely with senior stakeholders, handle ambiguity and add value quickly.

Key responsibilities:

• Deliver complex business change and technology-enabled projects

   

• Support PMO activity including planning, governance, reporting, documentation, risks and issues

   

• Work closely with senior stakeholders, sponsors and business teams

   

• Provide challenge and structure to help projects stay on track

   

• Support multiple projects at different stages of the delivery lifecycle

   

• Use project tools and frameworks to improve consistency and delivery

   

Key experience:

• Project Management experience within financial services

   

• Insurance, pensions or investment banking experience would be highly relevant

   

• Strong business-facing stakeholder management

   

• Comfortable working with senior sponsors and executives

   

• Able to manage ambiguity and changing priorities

   

• Strong PMO capability, including governance, reporting, risks and issues

   

• Good IT literacy, ideally including Jira

   

• Agile awareness would be useful

   

This would suit a delivery-focused Project Manager who can operate with limited handholding, build credibility quickly and work in a high-expectation financial services environment.

The role is inside IR35, initially for 12 months, with an expectation of being in the office at least four days per week.
