Job description

PMO Senior Technical Project / Programme Manager

BANKING Payments

DRC 6 to 12 months

Dublin Hybrid

We are working with a leading bank whose payments technology division is planning, designing and delivering a broad range of payments products and services across an Agile tribe environment. With several high-profile programmes live at once, they need a sharp, senior pair of hands to be across all of it.

Every busy payments programme needs one person who actually knows what is going on – You have to be comfortable questioning and challenging !

In this role you are the person who holds the true status of every key initiative, keeps the programme leads, third parties and internal teams honest on what is really being delivered, and makes sure nothing slips through the gaps. Working alongside the programme leads, and reporting up to the Payments Heads, you will own the view of status, budgets and risk across the portfolio and present a clear, credible update to the IT leadership team every month.

It is fast paced, with a lot of moving pieces and plenty of ambition on timelines. You will need to hit the ground running, stay on top of the detail, and bring calm, accurate control to a complex picture.

What we are looking for:

The ideal candidate will have BANKING payments exposure across any of UK Faster Payments, SEPA Instant, CHAPS, BACS, SWIFT, ISO 20022, open banking APIs, PSD2, payments hub and engine modernisation, core banking, or settlement and reconciliation.

• A strong PMO Programme Manager, Senior Project Manager or PMO Lead ready to take command of the brief
• Real presence with senior stakeholders, the kind of person who can challenge, question and drive decisions
• Excellent communication and can get things done where timelines are tight and dependencies are many
• Strong reporting and governance discipline across a complex, high-stakes portfolio
