Project Manager

Leeds

£53,000 – £63,000 + Benefits

The Shillito Group are partnered with a well established financial services organisation looking to hire a Project Manager to lead complex business change and strategic projects across the organisation.

This is not an IT Project Manager role.

They need someone who has delivered large scale change before, can bring structure to complexity, influence senior stakeholders and confidently lead projects from inception through to delivery.

You’ll play a key role in improving governance, delivery standards and overall project maturity within a growing change environment.

What they’re looking for:

• A proven Senior Project Manager with experience delivering large scale business change
• Experience operating in regulated or complex environments (financial services experience is highly beneficial)
• Someone who understands governance properly, but knows delivery matters more than paperwork
• Experience managing senior stakeholders across operational, technology and business functions
• Strong commercial awareness, budget ownership and risk management capability
• Someone who can bring people with them, not just manage plans
• Formal PM qualifications (PRINCE2, MSP, APM, Agile etc.)

The type of person who succeeds here:

• You’ve walked into ambiguity before and brought order to it
• You know how to build credibility quickly
• You’re comfortable challenging senior people when required
• You focus on outcomes, not activity
• You’ve delivered meaningful change, not just coordinated it
