We are looking for an experienced, delivery focused, Senior IT Project Manager to lead the delivery of a major technology transformation programme. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced, hands-on Senior IT PM who enjoys owning delivery, working closely with senior stakeholders, and helping drive meaningful organisational change in a purpose-led, financial services regulated environment.

You will take end-to-end responsibility for a major transformation initiative involving technology delivery, vendor management, solution implementation and data migration, while also contributing to visibility across the wider enterprise change portfolio.

What you’ll be doing-

• Lead delivery of a major business-wide technology transformation project.
• Take ownership of project planning, delivery roadmap, governance, RAID and reporting.
• Work closely with business stakeholders, internal technology teams and a key external vendor.
• Drive delivery across solution implementation and data migration activity.
• Manage budgets and support financial tracking for your programme.
• Produce audit-ready project artefacts aligned to the change framework.
• Contribute to portfolio-level reporting and governance across the business.

What we’re looking for-

• Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager delivering technology transformation.
• Strong background in systems / platform implementation, technology change, and data migration.
• Experience in banking, insurance, financial services or another regulated sector is highly desirable.
• Experience working with third-party vendors, internal technology teams and business stakeholders.
• Strong governance, stakeholder management and delivery ownership.
• Comfortable working in a lean, hands-on environment.
• Familiarity with cloud / SaaS environments, integrations and APIs.
• Comfortable working in a predominantly waterfall-led environment, with awareness of Agile delivery through suppliers.

Why this role?

• A 4-day working week (32 hours across 4 days).
• Hybrid flexibility- 2 days per week in the office.
• Opportunity to own a major transformation project.
• An opportunity to join a strongly purpose-led organisation.
• Excellent benefits package, including strong pension offering.
• Visible role working closely with the Head of Change and senior stakeholders.

Location

The role is office-based in principle, with hybrid working available. In practice, this is expected to settle into a mix of office and home working, with more office presence likely at the start of the role.

Candidates should be within a sensible commute of the Tunbridge Wells area.

If you’re a delivery-focused Senior Project Manager who enjoys operating in a fast-moving environment and wants to play a key role in a significant technology transformation, we’d love to hear from you.
