Key Responsibilities

Project Management

• Own end-to-end delivery accountability across one or more concurrent projects - from initiation through to successful completion.
• Define and baseline project scope, schedule, budget, risks, and dependencies maintain these throughout the project lifecycle.
• Produce and maintain project plans, status reports, RAID logs, and delivery dashboards to provide clear visibility to all stakeholders.

• Communicate project status, decisions, and risks clearly and consistently to senior stakeholders and leadership.

Business Analysis

• Partner with business stakeholders to elicit, document, and validate requirements for new features and process improvements.
• Decompose high-level business needs into detailed user stories and acceptance criteria suitable for Agile delivery teams.
• Act as the bridge between business and technology, ensuring shared understanding of requirements and priorities.
• Support traceability from business requirements through to delivered solutions.
• Contribute to analysis of complex business problems using data from customers, partners, and internal sources.
• Collaborate with QA resources to define test cases aligned to requirements.
• Continuously evaluate the quality and completeness of requirements documentation.

Required Experience

• 7-10 years of experience in project management roles, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional technology programmes.
• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in business analysis or requirements management.
• Familiarity with Agile delivery environments and the ability to work effectively alongside Agile teams.
• Proven experience managing stakeholder relationships across business, technology, and senior leadership.
• Experience partnering with Product Managers and contributing to delivery planning against a product roadmap.
• Experience in wealth management, retirement, or broader financial services preferred.

• Strong analytical and inquisitive mindset with attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills able to tailor messages across audiences.
• Strong facilitation, negotiation, and consensus-building skills.
