• High level stakeholder engagement.
• Acting as a point of escalation for clients and third parties involved in various implementation projects.
• Managing project issues and alerting to potential risk.

Ideally you will have:

• A strong background in IT change project delivery and good knowledge of the full software lifecycle.
• Industry knowledge around payments infrastructure including gateways and various other payment solutions.
• Experience managing stakeholder relationships and interacting with different areas of a bank.
• Prince 2 qualification (or equivalent).

Based in the UK (could be based in various locations), they have a flexible approach to hybrid working and with travel as and when required for meetings with stakeholders.
