I'm partnering with a leading global investment manager based in Manchester, currently seeking a Project Manager to join their Strategic Change function on an initial 6-month contract, with strong potential for extension. This role offers an excellent opportunity to lead high-impact change initiatives across their European operations.

You’ll play a key role in delivering complex, cross-functional projects aligned with strategic business objectives, working closely with senior stakeholders to ensure successful outcomes.

Key Requirements:

  • 3+ years’ experience managing large-scale, cross-functional projects within the financial services industry.
  • Proven track record of leading the end-to-end delivery of strategic projects, from initiation through to implementation.
  • Strong understanding of project lifecycle methodologies and change delivery frameworks.

This is an exciting opportunity to spearhead transformational projects and gain significant visibility within a leading investment management organisation.
