Job description
This is a senior, client-facing position for an experienced IT Project Manager who has delivered complex transformation programmes in regulated industries. You will take ownership of end-to-end project delivery across multiple client engagements, operating with a high degree of autonomy from day one.
This is not a generalist project management role. We work in environments where regulatory compliance, executive stakeholder management, and deep technical understanding are non-negotiable. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable leading an agile delivery team and presenting programme status to a C-suite audience.
The role has arisen from significant business growth and an immediate pipeline of new client work currently being scoped. You will be expected to hit the ground running.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end delivery of IT transformation and digital change programmes across multiple client sectors
Develop and maintain project plans, risk registers, resource schedules, and governance frameworks
Act as the primary client-facing lead throughout the project lifecycle, managing expectations at all levels including executive and board
Apply and adapt agile methodologies (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban) to complex, regulated programme environments
Ensure all project activity meets relevant regulatory and compliance requirements for the client's industry
Drive cross-functional collaboration between business stakeholders, technology teams, and third-party vendors
Identify and manage project risks, issues, and dependencies, escalating where appropriate
Contribute to business development activity including scoping, proposal writing, and client relationship management
Requirements
Minimum 5 years' experience in senior IT project management, with a demonstrable track record of delivering transformation programmes end-to-end
Direct experience managing projects within regulated industries - financial services and/or oil & gas experience is essential
Strong command of agile delivery methodologies and their application in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
Proven ability to manage senior stakeholders and C-suite relationships independently
Experience overseeing project budgets and resource plans of significant scale
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Relevant professional certification: PRINCE2 Practitioner, PMP, or equivalent agile qualification (e.g. AgilePM, SAFe)
Desirable
Cross-sector delivery experience spanning two or more industries
Exposure to cloud migration, enterprise architecture, or digital adoption programmes
Experience with vendor management and technology partnership negotiations
Familiarity with tools including Jira, Azure DevOps, MS Project, or Asana
