Change Project Manager - Investment Banking, London

My client, a leading City based Bank is looking for a Project Manager to join their Central Projects and Business Architecture team, working on a variety of transformation initiatives across the organisation from Front to Back Office. The Business Change PM will be involved in initiatives throughout the full project lifecycle, starting at inception through to implementation and operationalisation. All projects will be business driven and focused, with some involving an IT component and others being purely business orientated. 

The successful candidate will be responsible for the Planning and Project Management of workstreams within larger programmes or a variety of small-medium sized initiatives. You will have responsibility for progress reporting, risk and issue management and time tracking /management, with the ability to work under pressure and to tight time frames, managing and resolving different and sometimes conflicting user requirements.

Key requirements for the role:

• A proven track record of Project Management and successful end to end project delivery gained within a Financial Services environment.

• Previous experience of managing cross geographical projects with project teams of 10-20 core team members
