This is a business change role, not an IT or technology position. My client is not seeking IT Business Analysts, Technical Business Analysts, Systems Analysts or Technology Project Managers.
Previous banking experience within Retail Banking or Private Banking is essential. Candidates from other sectors, or those without hands-on banking experience, are unlikely to be considered.
To avoid disappointment, please only apply if you have the required banking background, ideally gained within an international branch of a foreign bank.
If you’re looking to join a respected international bank and play a key role in delivering strategic business transformation, I’d be delighted to discuss this opportunity with you.
Business Analyst / Project Manager
Location: London | Permanent
I’m working exclusively with an established international bank to recruit an experienced Business Analyst / Project Manager to join their Business Transformation team.

- Manage project risks, issues, dependencies and stakeholder communications.
- Support regulatory and strategic business initiatives across the bank.
- Collaborate with UK and Group teams to ensure successful project delivery.
