If you want to work where technology meets banking, where security comes first, and where your work directly enables business ambition, you're in the right place.

• Can think strategically by understanding the bigger picture and how individual initiatives contribute to our strategic objectives, whilst also being able to troubleshoot by getting into the detail.
• Contributes positively to team and workplace culture, actively seeking ways to help others by building strong and authentic working relationships.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with the Transformation & Change Lead to drive workstreams within our programme, putting together detailed activity plans and milestones
• Retain a relentless focus on identifying and managing dependencies, with focus on critical path delivery
• Maintain project governance and prepare management updates as required
• Track delivery progress, resolve blockers, and ensure continuous alignment against scope, timelines and budget.
• Drive stakeholder engagement and maintain clear communication on change delivery, impacts, benefits, and risks.

Qualifications & Skills

• Excellent understanding of how to use a hybrid Waterfall & Agile methodology
