A growing investment and wealth manager seeks a project manager to continue to develop its product offering and capabilities.

You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end process of creating, developing, and implementing investment capabilities and infrastructure. This includes ensuring our investment research recommendations and portfolio management processes are fully supported by robust, timely, and fit-for-purpose systems and processes.

Your portfolio will span multiple projects — from the design of new investment products to process enhancements — requiring you to define requirements, coordinate stakeholders, manage delivery, and maintain a disciplined approach to deadlines and quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and delivery of new investment capabilities, products, and services, including segregated mandates.
• Identify and implement improvements to product governance processes.
• Manage communications with stakeholders, ensuring adequate governance arrangements.
• Assess and report on critical risks related to research implementation processes.
• Coordinate with the Change function to align resources, priorities, and timelines.
• Work closely with other project and product teams to manage interdependencies and mitigate risks.
• Support the Research leadership team on strategic initiatives.
• Ensure project portfolio integrity and quality assurance standards are met.
• Manage project and programme budgets, tracking costs against benefits.

What We’re Looking For

• PRINCE2, PMP, or Agile ScrumMaster.
• Significant experience in investment-focused project management.
• CFA Charterholder or working towards full qualification.
• Familiarity with data, digital, and risk management infrastructure.
• Experience with FactSet, Bloomberg, proprietary data aggregator platforms, and FX hedging.
• Knowledge of cloud data solutions (Snowflake), data tools (Alteryx, Power BI), and strong MS Office skills (Excel, Project).
• Excellent organisational ability, attention to detail, and time management.
• A proactive, self-starting mindset and proven track record of delivering projects on time and to target.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to inspire and lead teams.
