Job Description

Job Description: Engineering Lead / Project Manager

About the Role

We are seeking a Tech Project Manager to lead structured delivery across complex, multi-team initiatives. This role is ideal for someone who is PM-driven, highly organised, and able to bring rigour and clarity into ambiguous environments.

The role requires someone who can navigate stakeholders independently, drive structured execution across cross-functional teams, and relentlessly follow up to ensure progress. Prior experience with vendor coordination and work within financial services, risk, and compliance domains is strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

Project & Delivery Management (Primary Focus)

Drive end-to-end project planning, execution, and delivery across engineering, product, data, compliance, and operations teams.
Establish and maintain structured delivery plans, sprint plans, WBS, RAID logs, decision registers, and program reporting.
Build quarterly and annual roadmaps for technology and capability development.
Bring rigour, discipline, and predictability to execution manage risks, dependencies, scope, and timelines.
Run governance routines: status reviews, steering updates, stakeholder cadences, and cross-team alignment forums.
Demonstrate a persistent, action-driven approach - follow up relentlessly, close loops, and ensure accountability.

Documentation & Clarity-Building

Produce and maintain high-quality documentation including BRDs, FRDs, process maps, workflows, project plans, and decision records.
Translate fragmented or ambiguous input into clear, structured artefacts that drive alignment.
Ensure teams operate with a documentation-first and audit-ready mindset.

Stakeholder Management

Engage independently with senior technology, business, operations, risk, procurement, and vendor stakeholders.
Ensure clear expectations, alignment, and transparency across diverse stakeholder groups.
Navigate organisational ambiguity, conflicting priorities, and fragmented processes with confidence and ownership.

Business Analysis & Process Definition

Lead requirements gathering and process mapping for workflows, tracking mechanisms, and case-management-related capabilities.
Simplify complex or unclear requirements into structured workflows and actionable specifications.
Support translation of regulatory/business requirements into clear deliverables for engineering teams.

Vendor & Procurement Management

Coordinate vendor engagement, onboarding, delivery milestones, and commercial/procurement alignment.
Ensure vendors meet expectations regarding timelines, documentation, quality, and operational readiness.
Provide structured oversight and escalate issues where needed.

Cross-Functional Delivery in Ambiguous Environments

Manage setup, configuration, governance, and integration of SaaS platforms supporting workflow and case management needs.
Operate effectively in environments with unclear ownership, evolving processes, or organisational gaps.
Bring order to ambiguity using documentation, structured communication, and disciplined follow-through.
Identify blockers early and proactively drive resolutions across teams.

Preferred Skills & Experience

7-12 years of experience in Project Management, Business Analysis, or Program Delivery roles.
Proven track record of delivering complex, multi-team projects with strong rigour and documentation discipline.
Strong skills in documentation, communication, requirements definition, process mapping, and governance.
Ability to work persistently and assertively - pushing teams, tracking actions, and driving closure.
Experience coordinating with procurement, PMO, and vendor teams.
Familiarity with case-management concepts (Pega, Appian, SNOW, Salesforce FSC) is helpful but not mandatory.
Working knowledge of cloud, data, or engineering concepts (coordination level, not deep architecture).
Agile delivery experience certifications (PMP, Agile, PRINCE2, SAFe) are an advantage.
