Project Manager - 12-month Contract - Inside IR35
A leading financial services organisation is looking to hire an experienced Project Manager on a 12-month contract.
This role will sit within a central implementation and projects function, supporting a varied portfolio of business change and technology-enabled projects. The successful candidate will work across multiple areas of the business, managing delivery, supporting governance and helping senior stakeholders drive projects forward.
This is not a pure technology PM role. The client is looking for someone with strong business-facing project delivery experience who can work closely with senior stakeholders, handle ambiguity and add value quickly.
Key responsibilities:
• Deliver complex business change and technology-enabled projects

• Support PMO activity including planning, governance, reporting, documentation, risks and issues

• Work closely with senior stakeholders, sponsors and business teams

• Provide challenge and structure to help projects stay on track

• Support multiple projects at different stages of the delivery lifecycle

• Use project tools and frameworks to improve consistency and delivery

Key experience:
• Project Management experience within financial services

• Insurance, pensions or investment banking experience would be highly relevant

• Strong business-facing stakeholder management

• Comfortable working with senior sponsors and executives

• Able to manage ambiguity and changing priorities

• Strong PMO capability, including governance, reporting, risks and issues

• Good IT literacy, ideally including Jira

• Agile awareness would be useful

This would suit a delivery-focused Project Manager who can operate with limited handholding, build credibility quickly and work in a high-expectation financial services environment.
The role is inside IR35, initially for 12 months, with an expectation of being in the office at least four days per week.
