Own the delivery of projects with significant scope, budgets, resources, dependencies and business impact.

5+ years of IT Project Management AND strong Financial Services experience are mandatory.

Only senior profiles with proven experience delivering complex enterprise application projects in Financial Services will be considered.

You are/have…

• 5+ years of proven IT Project Management experience - mandatory. You have personally led complex projects; PMO, coordination or support-only experience is not sufficient.

• Proven delivery of large-scale corporate / enterprise application implementations, upgrades or transformation projects. Small-scale application projects are not relevant.

You get…

• A chance to lead high-impact technology transformation within a global Financial Services environment.
• Direct exposure to Finance, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Audit and other strategic corporate functions.
• Ownership of large, complex enterprise application initiatives rather than operational or coordination-focused projects.
• An international stakeholder environment involving multiple entities, locations, IT disciplines and strategic suppliers.
• The opportunity to contribute directly to the modernization of critical corporate applications, including package implementations, upgrades and Cloud/SaaS transformation.
• A senior-level environment where strong Project Management, stakeholder influence and delivery leadership are genuinely required.
