Key Responsibilities:
Project delivery
- Own the end-to-end delivery of assigned technology, data and AI projects across the Accounting, Credit and Wealth service lines, from planning through to a landed, adopted outcome
- Build and maintain clear, practical project plans with milestones, owners, dependencies and delivery dates,
- Run a consistent delivery rhythm, including working sessions, status updates, risk management and stakeholder reporting
- Apply lean, fit for purpose governance rather than heavy process, in line with agreed minimum standards (clear owner, plan, dependencies, RACI, and a way to track whether it is landing)
Business analysis and requirements
- Capture and document business requirements by working directly with teams across the service lines, including advisers, client services, operations and support functions
- Map current state and future state processes, identify pain points and pinpoint the specific opportunities to improve, automate or simplify
- Translate business needs into clear requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria for internal and vendor build
Delivery governance and controls
- Own the project artefacts that keep delivery on track: RAID log, decision log, action tracker, dependencies and status reporting
- Plan and coordinate UAT, including test planning, coordination of testers, defect tracking and sign off
- Track benefits and outcomes so we can show the value each initiative delivers
- Maintain a clear view of the project roadmap and dependencies across the portfolio
Vendor and partner coordination
- Coordinate specialist delivery partners through their scope of work, holding them to agreed deliverables, timelines and quality
- Support statement of work definition, review of deliverables and vendor delivery governance
Stakeholder engagement and adoption
- Build strong working relationships across the service lines and keep stakeholders informed and engaged throughout delivery
- Partner with Operations on change management, team messaging and adoption, supporting the change lead rather than owning the people impact
- Support training and adoption activities so solutions are used and value is realised, not just delivered
Qualifications and Experience:
- Minimum 8+ years in a delivery, project management or hybrid BA and delivery role, ideally within financial services, wealth or professional services
- Demonstrable experience delivering technology or process projects end to end, from requirements through to adoption
- Strong business analysis experience, including requirements gathering, process mapping and UAT coordination
- Experience coordinating external delivery partners and vendors against a scope of work
- Experience with delivery tooling and artefacts (project plans, RAID logs, action trackers, status reporting)
- Exposure to advice, accounting or credit processes and related platforms is a strong advantage
- Relevant certifications (for example PRINCE2, Agile, Scrum or CBAP) are desirable but practical delivery track record matters most
-
