Programme Manager Financial Services

Location: London (Hybrid - 2/3 days onsite)Salary: £115,000-£120,000 + 20% bonus, 17.5% pension Type: Permanent

We're partnering with a leading bank on a major transformation programme: the build and migration of a proprietary lending platform that will replace legacy systems and sit at the heart of their future banking operations.

This is a high-profile programme where you'll work closely with senior leadership, delivering change that impacts core banking operations and the bank's own lending portfolio. It's an opportunity to take ownership of a complex programme, influence decision-making, and ultimately play a pivotal role in shaping the bank's future technology landscape.

As Programme Manager, you'll:

• Lead delivery of the new lending platform programme, ensuring governance, risk, and regulatory standards are embedded.

• Manage a matrixed team of ~12-15 (mix of onshore and offshore), working across lending, governance, and process simplification initiatives.

• Partner with senior stakeholders to communicate complex technical and business issues in simple, actionable terms.

• Drive process improvement and simplification across lending operations, while preparing to extend into the wider change portfolio once lending workstream is completed.

• Report into senior leadership, providing visibility, assurance, and strategic direction.

• Proven experience as a Programme Manager in banking or financial services.

• Strong knowledge of core banking systems; lending platform exposure is highly desirable.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills - able to influence at executive level.

• Track record in governance, risk management, and regulatory programmes.

• Ability to lead matrixed teams and work across multiple business areas.

• Comfortable in environments moving from legacy systems to proprietary platforms.
