The Vacancy

Fun, rewarding and with the opportunity to develop and grow your career. That’s life with L&C Mortgages, the UK’s leading fee free mortgage broker with over 160 awards to its name.

Join us and you’ll be part of a business that takes your progress seriously and wants you to enjoy being part of the L&C family. From ‘The Extra Mile’ colleague nominations – recognising those who go above and beyond, to in depth employee assistance and support programmes, comprehensive benefits hub via Perkbox, your birthday off and much more. This is a place that really wants to give back on the effort you put in.

Right now, we’re looking to recruit a dynamic and innovative Project Manager to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact within a growing and forward-thinking business. If you’re proactive, collaborative, and passionate about delivering successful change, we’d love to hear from you.

The role

This role will play a key part in supporting and leading the delivery of IT and business-related projects across our Transformation Programme, working closely with stakeholders at all levels of the organisation. Reporting to the Transformation Programme Manager, you will collaborate with Product Owners, development teams, and senior leaders to ensure successful project delivery that aligns with business goals, within agreed timeframes and budgets. You'll bring industry best practice controls and delivery focus to the execution of Project Delivery within L&C.

In this role, you will assist project sponsors in defining project scope, objectives, and success criteria, while developing and maintaining critical project documentation such as project initiation documents, plans, resource schedules, budgets & forecasts, and risk registers using established PMO templates.

You will be responsible for ensuring that all governance and reporting requirements are met, including the preparation of materials for Stage Gate Reviews, Steering Committees, and Architecture Review Boards. A key part of your role will be to identify and manage project risks, issues, and dependencies, ensuring continuous tracking and mitigation through appropriate systems and tools.

You’ll create clear metrics to monitor project progress, reporting regularly to stakeholders and adapting plans as required. Using a mix of project methodologies— Agile & Waterfall most prolifically —you’ll deliver initiatives from business case development through to implementation and business readiness. The role involves managing multiple small to medium-sized projects simultaneously, supporting both customer-facing and back-office applications, and ensuring effective collaboration between IT and business teams.

About you

We’re looking for a seasoned Project Manager who can come in and hit the ground running. You’ll bring proven experience in managing IT and business transformation projects, ideally within a finance or similar regulated environment. You’ll have strong organisational skills, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills. Experience working across Agile, Waterfall and traditional project delivery methods is essential, alongside a solid understanding of risk management, budgeting, and governance. Professional certifications such as PRINCE2, AMP, or Agile qualifications are desirable.

We care about our customers, but our employees are what make the magic happen. We’re always ready to listen and do what we can to make L&C even better for those receiving and providing our services. Working with us means being part of an environment of respect and equity regardless of role or department.

As an employee of L&C, some of the benefits you’ll get include:

A starting holiday entitlement of 25 days, plus your birthday & bank holidays off non inclusive of your holiday allowance
The challenges and opportunities that make us develop professionally & personally
Have access to our comprehensive Employee benefit and support schemes, from wellbeing to perks and discounts, we want to give our colleagues the best as thanks for their continued dedication
Come celebrate at our biannual Winter and Summer socials, and plenty of other events throughout the year
… and much more!
